Pupils create drawing that tell a story about a young girl's life in an internment camp. In this internment camp lesson plan, students hear stories and analyze photographs of internment camps and then create their own drawings.

Students create lines and shapes with a compass and a straight edge. For this geometry lesson, students investigate square roots, irrational numbers and spirals. They explore nature to see the shapes representing mathematics and...

Young scholars compare two lengths using the area of a square. In this geometry lesson plan, students solve problems using ratio and proportion of the two shapes. They solve equations by taking the square root of both sides.

Students design a unique instrument using containers, beans, markers, crayons and colored construction paper. At the end of the lesson each student have a working rhythm instrument decorated with at least two colors.

First graders use rhythm instruments to explore dynamic fluctuations in music. They experiment with clapping, body movement, recorded music and pitch instruments to explore the concept of tempo.

Elementary engineers design a dog house suitable for a large dog according to specific criteria. Pupils create a design for a doghouse that allows their dog to grow, protects him from the elements, and keeps food and water dishes...

Students use shapes and manipulatives to demonstrate patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also break up patterns to identify a pattern unit.

High schoolers read and discuss twin studies to explore the debate of nature vs. nurture. They create a list of characteristics and then look for evidence of whether it is primarily a genetic or environmental characteristic. All of the...

Students study dinosaurs in science and conduct online research to gather written information about his or her dinosaur. Then, in art class, they sketch their dinosaur and create an accurate three-dimensional dinosaur model out of paper...

Learners explore Enlightenment and Neoclassical art.  For this visual arts lesson, students compare and contrast images of architecture from both styles. Learners create visual art designs that feature the ideals of the Enlightenment.

Students examine Gothic architecture. In this architecture lesson, students view a slide show of Gothic structures and attributes. Students then research the symbolism in Gothic churches. As a culminating activity students write...

Students practice writing letters of the alphabet and explore how decorated letters can be used to convey stories or symbolic ideas. They create an "illuminated" alphabet in which each letter conveys concepts of home and family.

Students judge, compare and construct two-dimensional figures using a variety of materials.

Students explore patterns in everyday life and in the mathematic world. They create various concrete examples of patterns and verbally describe these patterns to a fellow student.

Students identify the characteristics of birds and explain how these characteristics are useful in their survival. They explain how both physical and environmental adaptations help birds survive and reproduce. Students create an...

Sixth graders identify various angles by using pattern blocks. In this measurement instructional activity, 6th graders find out how many degrees are in each of the different angles of the various pattern blocks.

Learners listen to the book, "The Grouchy Ladybug" by Eric Carle and sequence the events in the story. Using a graph, they draw and color the animals that the ladybug meets next to the corresponding time from the story, and conduct...

Fifth graders work with polygons.
