Students use comparisons, graphing, patterning, and sorting, and develop language skills as they explore the five senses.

Learners measure water and make predictions about efficiency.

Students examine how multiples of the denominator indicate that a fraction can be renamed as a whole number, and convert improper fractions to mixed numbers. Independently they read examples, and complete a variety of problems on a...

Young scholars explore ratios and their relationships to fractions. They explain the process of identifying ratios and describe their comparison. Students write ratios as fractions and by using colons. They convert the ratios to...

Students research tornadoes. For this weather lesson, students construct a KWL chart on tornadoes and view the video National Geographic-Tornadoes. Students discuss the facts they learned from the film and complete the KWL chart.

Students induce an electrical charge on various objects, and experiment with electrical repulsion and attraction. They define related vocabulary, play Bingo and complete a take-home quiz.

Students examine fossil fuels, nuclear and renewable fuels. They study investigate types of heat transfer such as convection, conduction, and radiation. They complete crossword puzzles based on the vocabulary. They design, construct and...

Students study the causes of different types and speeds of landslides. They determine that landslides are the result of gravity, friction, and the materials involved. They examine the step engineers are taking to prevent and avoid...

Students investigate the force of compression and how it acts on structural components through a hands-on group project. They use everyday products such as paper, toothpicks, and tape to construct a structure that will support the...

Learners investigate how rocket thrust is generated with propellant. They listen to a teacher-led lecture, discuss Newton's third law of motion, answer discussion questions, and view photos of rockets and rocket designs.

Young scholars work together to review what they know about damage during tornadoes. They design a structure that they hope protects people against tornadoes. They share their structure with the class.

Children need to understand why the mathematical properties work and how they are applied. In this lesson plan, we explore modeling and "proving" the associative property. In this lesson plan, we explore modeling and "proving" the...

Children need to understand why the mathematical properties work and how they are applied. In this lesson, we explore modeling and "proving" the associative property.

In this lesson on the associative property of multiplication, students explore grouping factors, learn key vocabulary, and apply their learning to a real-life scenario.

A lesson on: Order of Operations, Integers, Numerical Sentences, and Absolute Value.This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in Math and Science, GEMS Project funded by the Malone Family Foundation.

In this lesson on adding and subtracting, young scholars will learn to idenitfy and apply the commutative and associative properties of addition while utilizing their knowledge of fact families to correctly solve problems.

In this problem, we have to transform expressions using the distributive, commutative and associative properties to decide which expressions are equivalent. Common mistakes are addressed, such as not distributing the 2 correctly. Aligns...

By now, students have learned that fact families include both addition and subtraction facts. They have also learned that by reversing the order of the addends, they can form related addition facts with the same sum. The students will...

In this lesson on addition and subtraction within 20, 1st graders learn how to solve addition and subtraction story problems by finding clue words. Adding three addends is also taught in this lesson.

The purpose of this task is to explore reflections in the context of paper folding. Each fold is associated with a line of reflection and understanding each step in the construction requires careful analysis of angles and of the...

The Chinese character mark formerly known as "Tan" is the first of two lessons to introduce first grade students to geometry using tangrams. This lesson incorporates history, math, and language arts. In this lesson students will be able...
