Students examine a chart that lists the main characteristics of polygons and 3 dimensional figures. They make examples of the polygons and figures using pretzels and gum drops showing how the gum drops are vertices and the pretzels are...

Students set up and run the experiments they designed in the lesson, 'Population Growth in Yeasts,' using simple yeast-molasses cultures in test tubes. They demonstrate understanding that several environmental factors can contribute to...

Young scholars identify and interpret that economic activity involves making choices in the face of scarcity, therefore making choices involves a cost. They also identify that individuals interact in markets by inducing one another,...

In this gamma-ray worksheet, students read about the Fermi Gamma-ray Observatory and how it measures the invisible lumps in space. Students solve 3 problems using an equation to determine the time that gamma-rays travel in space and the...

Students explore the physical properties of eggs. For this scientific observation lesson, students define characteristics of eggs, measure eggs vertically and horizontally, and use the scientific method to perform simple experiments...

Students listen to books on wind energy for background knowledge. For this wind logic puzzle, students use knowledge of wind energy and critical thinking skills to complete logic puzzles. Students may work in groups or individually as...

Third graders examine the non-standard method of measurement and compare it to the metric system of measurement. In this introductory module lesson, 3rd graders discover the scientific observation. Students also develop communication...

Students investigate the Interstellar Medium and the Local Bubble that the Sun is inside. They read and discuss a handout, answer discussion questions, observe a demonstration of light scattering, and conduct an experiment on the...

Students identify the textures of materials in their environments in order to expand their language, math, sensory, and observational skills. In this sensory activity lesson, students first write a list of different words to describe...

Students discover that scuba diving is more than a sport. It's a science that operationally integrates physics, chemistry, physiology, and oceanography. They perform a simple experiment which simulates the air tanks used in scuba diving.

In this dealing with money and measurement worksheet, students practice adding and subtracting with decimals. They complete 12 short word problems and check their answers online.

In this ratio and proportion worksheet, 8th graders solve 10 different word problems that include determining the ratio and probability of events described. First, they determine the ratio of hawks to crows in a cornfield. Then, students...

In this order of operations and equations worksheet, students solve problems where they have to solve them in the right order and find and write the correct equations to match the problems. Students complete 34 problems.

Second graders investigate volume through the use of measuring cups. They complete a variety of measuring tasks using kitchen measuring cups. Students accurately measure the volume and compare the results.

In this addition worksheet, students solve 6 problems in which single digit numbers on each side of the ladybug's body are added. The spots help students count.

Students demonstrate the semi-permeability of a cell membrane. In this rubber egg lesson, students measure and record egg data, place the egg in jar with vinegar and close the lid, observe immediately and periodically for the next 3...

In this understanding fractions worksheet, students read about fractions and respond to 16 multi-step, word problem, and fill in the blank questions.

Students define matter, the chemical properties of matter, and the physical properties of matter. They name physical and chemical properties of matter (by classifying using a Tree Map). Students determine the mass, volume, and density of...

Young scholars investigate decimal values to the thousandths using a handheld. A web page is read, animation is used, and knowledge gathered utilized in a game.

Students explore decimals. They use personal computers to compare decimal numbers and examine place value. Students participate in an animation game to complete decimal problems.

Students confirm the law of conservation of matter by weighing chewing gum before and after it is chewed.

Third graders use the appropriate units of measure when given a list of items to estimate and measure. They work in cooperative groups to locate, estimate, and measure given items using the correct unit of measurement.

Students explore the concept of polyhedra. In this polyhedra lesson, students use the Internet to manipulate virtual polyhedra models. Students create polyhedra models from straws, toothpicks, cardboard, Plexiglas, and other materials.

Pupils create an abstract, non-objective paintings. Students use the various lesson plans to create abstract paintings that include an art with text lesson, a sand textured paint lesson, and a radiating design lesson.
