Your statisticians draw several samplings from the same data set, some randomized and some not, and consider the distribution of the sample means of the two different types of samplings. The exercise demonstrates that non-random samples...

Students explore the information depicted on topographic maps. They construct a 3-D topographic map of a local area. They go on a field trip to the depicted area and compare the 'real world' with their models.

Students are assigned the task of building a community building. They construct the building using a computer graphics design program. The simulated building when completed be put together to form a small town.

Students consider the relationship between form and flight and investigate the history of man made flight and how wing shape and flexibility affects the maneuverability of an aircraft.

High schoolers use FoilSim to complete the activity to create tables of data sets comparing the lift values for a 3-D model of a symmetrical wing section to the values predicted by the FoilSim software.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students also develop a better understanding of lines, planes, angles, and polygons.

Students discover patterns and write conjectures relating to perimeters and polygons. Working in cooperative learning groups, they use manipulatives and graphic organizers to solve problems then answer a series of questions in which they...

Young scholars 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 examine the correlation between art and math. Using their computers, students construct and measure angles. Students identify the properties of angles and polygons. They engage in the Angles program on their Palm and use the...

Fourth graders discover that a polygon is a closed figure formed by line segments, and that the perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides. They utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain lots of practice with...

Students observe the general structure and organelles of plant and animal cells. Students prepare microscope slides of elodea, onion, check, and cork and identify the cells by size and shape as unicellular, multicellular, plant or animal.

In this replication of DNA worksheet, students match the correct definition of DNA replication to the terms given. Students also complete given statements with the correct term in the space provided.

In this differentiated lesson, students incorporate different subjects using the Ghandi and Montessori methods instead of the traditional method used in regular schools. In math they investigate shapes, colors and sizes. In writing they...

In this online interactive math skills worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems regarding geometry skills. Students may submit their answers to be scored.

Second graders conduct a survey, they record their data with the help of maps. They use an aerial photo or Ordnance Survey map, 2nd graders pinpoint specific places and add them to a legend using the drawing tools. Students use...

In this transformations worksheet, learners complete multiple choice questions about the transformations of congruent figures. They complete 10 problems.
