Students are introduced to the function and design of the following Lego pieces: beams, bricks, plates, axles, tires, hubs and bushings. They then work with a partner to build something using only these pieces.

Students role-play the role of a student who does not comprehend the language the instructional activity is being instructed in. Using the internet, they research the characteristics, distribution and migration of human populations over...

Fourth graders construct squares and rectanges in order to help them find areas and perimeters. They gain an understanding of area and perimeter through teacher modeling and then they construct squares and rectangles.

Students determine the temperature of the water in a cup, measure the length of a piece of cardboard, and measure out an appropriate volume of water. This task assesses student's abilities to perform measurement and reporting skills.

Fourth graders find the area and perimeters of squares and rectangles using a calculator to check their multiplication. They use the appropriate formulas to find the area and perimeter of the given geometric shapes.

Students analyze the Maine State Museum's exhibit 12,000 Years in Maine. They create an artifact and write a description of that artifact that demonstrates their understanding of the way technology shapes culture.

Students examine pieces of pottery as they role play archaeologists. They use cutouts and examine them for markings. They complete a worksheet to end the lesson.

Students engage in a lesson to find the purpose for the forests of Oregon. The role of the forest is researched according to different geographic perspectives. The information is portrayed in graphs and presented by group members to...

Students examine the relationship between agriculture and the slave trade during the 1860s. In groups, they research how two factors led to the explosion of slavery in the Southern United States. Using maps, they answer comprehension...

Students interpret maps. They also create mental maps of regions in which they are studying. Students then explain the historical or cultural significance of map features orally or in written form. Students take a walking field trip...

Learners examine places with a similar latitude to Alabama, and discuss the importance of a location's site versus its situation. They analyze maps, create a chart, and write a paragraph on the difference between site and situation.

Young scholars practice map skills and take a virtual road trip through Maine examining the history of transportation. They create questions from the information they learned and play a game against other groups.

Students explore landforms, vegetation, climate and population distribution in Saskatchewan. After discussing an atlas of Saskatchewan, students create their own relief map and climagraphs of Saskathewan. Using specified websistes,...

Young scholars identify special properties of matter (absorbency, hardness, brittleness, malleability, and elasticity). They define the term matter. Pupils investigate some of the special properties of matter to aid in classifying matter.

Students work with dominoes to recognize the number of spots on each side as they relate to addition facts. In this seeing doubles lesson, students make triangle shaped flash cards for the double facts. Students represent the correct...

Students demonstrate that material strength varies with shape and arrangement.

Students become familiar with the use of GIS for research, natural phenomena in Indiana, and analyzing collected information.

Students investigate how geometry can be used in the field of fitness and physical performance. They view a video that demonstrates how doctors and therapists mention geometry as they treat sports-related injuries.

Fourth graders observe the effects of water on the soil and record those effect by drawing sketches of water erosion and conservation practices.

Ninth graders explain how wind can produce electricity. In this geometry lesson, 9th graders construct their own pin wheel turbine and calculate its power. They discuss the pros and cons of using wind generator.

Pupils explain the "So what?"-or the international implications-of factors that indicate the developmental status of a nation.
