Students are taught that they can gather information about objects using the five senses of vision, touch, smell, taste, and hearing. They are told that some sensing, like sight, is done remotely. Students observe how a camera can...

Students take an imaginary hike in two opposite directions along a lake. They view and interpret satellite images and discuss the pros and cons of hydroelectric dams.

Students explore the concepts of mean and variance. They observe properties of materials to their basic atomic or molecular structure. Students use spreadsheet software to record, tabulate and analyze collected information.

Students examine and sort objects by specific attributes and apply prior knowledge. In this properties everywhere lesson, students work in groups to arrange objects in categories then discuss various sorting options while...

Students use satellite images to track to movement patterns of deer and examine deer behavior. They write stories about a day in the life of a field scientist.

Students examine and study how changes in perspective can change the way that they can observe objects. They explore the relationship between a scene's area and its detail. Each student looks at the ground through cardboard tubes from...

Students build a model of their school playground. They view models from the classroom (such as a globe, doll house, or cars). Students share observations about the models. They use a paper mat to represent the playground and use...

Students investigate the correct use of the law of sines and cosines. In this precalculus lesson plan, students ask questions about their problems on solving these trigonometry problems. They spend the class period reviewing important...

Second graders gain an understanding of geometric shapes and spatial reasoning. They learn the attributes of solid shapes in everyday activities. Students compare geometric shapes to everday objects, finding things that serve a purpose...

Second graders review the weather through a role-playing game.

Second graders discuss experiences of watching a rocket launch either on television or in person before making paper rockets. They make and color rockets which they attempt to launch using a strong breath blown through a straw at the...

Students compare, resize, and check various shapes by size using a comparison mat from the MathKeys program. Working in pairs, they place three similar shapes on the screen and state which is the largest and smallest in area. They also...

Pupils analyze elements of a short story by working together. In this literature lesson, students analyze short stories. They use the TI Navigator Application to write their findings.

Learners, after reading the Drag Equation page from the NASA Web-based textbook, demonstrate an understanding of this equation and how drag is dependent on the variables included in the equation.

Second graders, using a minimum of four space figures, create a mobile. They use a "Draw" program to first plan out their figure.

Students use the World Wide Web to access additional information needed to complete the activities on the forces on an airplane, the function of the stabilizer, and the calculation of Mach speed, temperature, pressure, and thrust.

Students explain proportions as it relates to principle and interest. They use proportions to explain relationships and analyze relationships by identifying patterns.

Students read Forces in a Climb from the Beginner's Guide to Propulsion, and explain each of the formulas using vectors.
