Learners investigate matter. In this physical science lesson plan, students will learn about matter, physical states, and reactions. There are a series of four lab activities that will be conducted.

Groups rotate through a series of stations and work with a partner to observe sound waves. Children describe sound in terms of pitch, volume, and frequency. To apply their new knowledge, the class considers how these observations can...

Some of these beautiful diagrams should help your students understand the connections between pressure and flight. Pressure and density are also discussed, and a number of links are included to give fantastic interactive examples of...

Fourth graders explore how to find the area of a rectangular object. As a class, they discuss definition of area and strategies for finding area. The teacher models finding the area of an object by counting squares. Students observe...

In this perimeter and area worksheet, students find the perimeter of various polygons.  They compute the perimeter, surface area, circumference, and volume of given figures.  Students explore trigonometric ratios.  This...

Middle schoolers investigate Pi. In this mathematics activity, learners discuss the history of Pi and determine how the approximation of Pi was discovered.

Learners explore scale factor as they create a scale drawing of a box, then determine the surface area and volume of the original and the scale drawing. The one page worksheet contains activities and procedures with four questions....

In this matter and motion worksheet, students solve 3 different types of problems that relate to the chain rule for multivariable functions. First, they find the rate of increase of the volume of a can and the rate of increase of the...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders determine the surface area and volume of a sphere, given the diameter or the radius. The one page interactive worksheet contains ten questions. Answers are provided.

Students study a variety of math concepts in the context of cooking up a meal. In this math activity, students calculate surface area and volume. They draw and interpret different types of graphs.

Students examine how living cells reproduce to make new cells.  In this cell reproduction lesson students complete a lab activity and answer questions. 

When did letters become the same as numbers? Scholars learn about substituting numbers for letters to evaluate algebraic expressions in the seventh part in a series of 36. The instructional activity focuses on expressions related to...

If shapes have the same area, do they always have the same perimeter? Learners explore the relationship between the area of square units and their perimeters in a hands-on activity. Observations are recorded, and they begin to recognize...

Learners explore volume in relation to centimeter cubes and other nonstandard units of measurement using small containers. They will use hands-on materials to practice this concept. You will need small objects and containers to set this up.

Go big or go home! Learners watch a video rendition of the creation of a penny pyramid. Their task is to determine the number of pennies in the pyramid. The lesson encourages multiple methods, including function building or volume formulas.

In this geometry worksheet, high schoolers complete a chart that compares the surface area and volume of a sphere. There are 21 blanks to complete on the chart. 

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve problems that involve area of a rectangular prism and lateral area of a pyramid. The one page interactive worksheet contains five problems. Answers are not provided. 

Students study relationships between angles, side lengths, perimeters, areas and volumes of similar objects. In this lesson students also create and critique inductive and deductive arguments concerning congruency, similarity and the...

Students explore the relationships among the lengths, areas, and volumes of similar solids. They also discover what effect doubling the dimensions of a figure has on the resulting area.

Youngsters review different geometric figures and shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, pupils use formulas to calculate area, perimeter, circumference and volume of geometric shapes. They calculate the surface area also.

Put on your thinking caps because middle school math has never been more interesting in this huge resource full of thought provoking questions. Written as a newsletter, the resource has 10 two-page newsletters with a variety of...

Learners calculate the volume of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the relationship between base and height. They calculate the area of each prism and cylinder.

Building blocks have more uses than simply entertaining children. Young mathematicians calculate the volume of a given cube, and then calculate the volume and surface area of a prism formed from multiple cubes.

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...
