Eighth graders complete worksheets on reading the distance on maps in miles or kilometers. In this maps lesson plan, 8th graders use a calculator and ruler.

Students read the novel Stone Fox by John Reynold Gardiner. Using Lego RCX units, students build and program sleds to re-enact the "home stretch" of the National Dog Sled Race.

Students investigate the creation of three dimensional drawings. In this geometry lesson, students analyze and complete orthographic drawings. They Cabri software to manipulate and move the drawings around.

Students build a boat and make predictions. In this geometry lesson plan, students design a cargo boat. They must show that the boat they designed can carry the cargo.

Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry instructional activity, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.

Students calculate the volume of the Pantheon's columns and estimate changes in weight given different parameters.

Fourth graders build an explorer vehicle which they program through an obstacle course to enter the tomb or temple to discover artifacts.

Students investigate how hurricanes impact a stream flow.  In this floods lesson students predict the impact of storms on animals and interpret data.

Ninth graders explore how electricity is created and distributed through alternative production methods. Students participate in hands-on activities, research, lecture based instruction, and CD ROM resources.

Young scholars complete a Cirlce Map about time. They recall times during the grouchy ladybugs travels, and add dots on ladybugs using turn-around facts. Pupils correctly sequence the events of The Grouchy Ladybug. Students compose new...

Learners construct model landfill liners out of two-inch strips of garbage bags within resource constraints. The challenge is to construct a bag that will hold one cup of water without leaking. This represents similar challenges that...

In this grammar worksheet, students review and discuss how nouns are known as the subjects of a sentence and then practices underlining the subjects in fifteen sentences.

Students create and develop a travel mug. They create visuals and a three dimensional infomercial. They apply an engineering design and demonstrate knowledge of thermodynamics involved in heat transfer. They illustrate Newton's Law of...

High schoolers use materials from their own environment to design a kite. In this kite design activity, students research the history of kites and obtain a formal mathematical definition of a kite. High schoolers sketch kite designs...

Students create a simple paper parachute. In this parachute design lesson, students examine the effects of the wind and make napkin parachutes.  

Students observe the cracks in school walls and pavements. In this geometry instructional activity, students explore the factors to be considered before building a structure. They complete a graphing and calculation...

Fifth graders determine that carbon dioxide is a gas given off during respiration and that oxygent is the gas that is absorbed during respiration. They determine the air capacity of the lungs.

Young scholars study the techniques of building a bridge. They explore different type of bridges and then plan and build a bridge to specified instructions. Students draw plans, keep a budget, and prepare balance sheets during their...

Pupils explore how structural forms adapt to evolving world cultures. In groups, students examine posters from the past and write about the picture. Pupils make predictions about what the picture will look like in the future. Students...

Students sort Lego Duplo pieces after determining the attributes to classify them by. They work in pairs to sort a group of Duplo pieces and explain their process to others.

Students collect and analyze data about wind speed. They build a Lego wind sail and measure the wind speed with a rotation sensor. They use software to analyze the data.

Students explore the concept of big and small. They collect objects from the classroom, sort them by size, and create a graph using Duplo stacking blocks.

Students need to be able to calculate the volume and surface area of a cuboid as well as present a systematic list of results in order to justify the minimum case. The use of three factors of 100 is also important.

Students work together to complete an experiment calculating the amount of board footage in a tree. They record their data and answer questions at the end of the lesson. They create their own hypothesis as well.
