Fourth graders work in a group of 4 to make rectangle with a 12m length of string. They discuss its perimeter and how they would calculate its area. Then another group of 4 make another rectangle and estimate if the area would be greater...

High schoolers work together to identify proteins in different samples. They calculate the protein concentration in those samples as well. They complete discussion questions to end the lesson.

Students examine why some objects float in water while others sink and the ability of something to float does not depend entirely on its weight. Archimedes' principle is introduced and buoyant force is discussed. Practice calculations...

Learners calculate the concentration of different solutions. In this chemistry lesson, students explain what a solution is. They explain ways to change the concentration of a solution.

Students observe the cracks in school walls and pavements. In this geometry instructional activity, students explore the factors to be considered before building a structure. They complete a graphing and calculation...

Young scholars calculate the amount of wrapping paper needed to wrap boxes. They describe how they determined their answers.

Students determine whether various rocks are porous or not. They conduct an experiment to determine if a brick is porous, calculate how much water the brick soaked up, and develop a conclusion.

Ninth graders find the height of an object that would be difficult or impossible to measure directly. They construct and use a Clinometer to measure the angle of elevation (or depression). Students create a sketch of the measurement...

Students calculate the area of triangles using a variety of materials including computer applets.

Students work together to make figures out of tangram squares. In groups, they calculate the measurements they need and apply the Pythagorean Theorem. They complete a worksheet solving equations using the theorem and review their answers.

Students recognize relationships between mathematics and music by identifying the frequency and volume of a pure tone. Students discover that sound can be represented as a function and collect pure tones to generate smooth curves.

In this multiple integration worksheet, students set up and evaluate double and triple integrals. Students compute the volume of a tetrahedron bounded by defined planes.

In this the code worksheet, students study, review and calculate which of six codes is the correct one to enter a computer with a top secret scientific breakthrough in it.

In this math activity, students solve 4 story problems which pertain to Halloween. Students estimate, calculate prices, and convert liquid measures to solve these problems.

Students use maps and mathematics to determine the appropriate panther population in a given area. In this Florida ecology instructional activity, students research the area requirements of male and female panther and use a map to help...

Students complete a unit of activities to learn about states of matter and how to measure matter. In this matter lesson, students complete 8 lessons to learn about matter, its states, and how to measure matter.

Students measure their own foot and place the outline on a graph. They make connections between the size of their foot and the bar graph that represents it.

Students compare the size and shape of tubes that can be measured, to the size and shape of "nanowhiskers" that are too small to see. They practice measuring, calculating and graphing the ratio of circumference to diameter of a circle,...

Students design an experiment to find density using Archimedes' Principle. For this physics lesson, students calculate density using mass and volume. They share their findings in class.

Students make a striking visual display showing the distribution of water on earth.

Learners analyze the amount of space required to pack round objects. In this geometry instructional activity, students practice using space economically by practicing packing spheres into beakers. They then translate this concept to...

Eighth graders, while using Prime Time Math: Emergency software, use math and medical data to participate in the diagnosis of a girl. Just like the medical team in the story, they will be using math to respond to a medical emergency- a...

Ninth graders compare ancient and modern technology in water transporting. In this lesson on the evolution of the aqueduct, 9th graders build a working aqueduct model and examine its components. They explain the importance and use of the...

Groundwater is an essential natural resource, not to mention a fascinating topic to study. Here is a series of twelve amazing lessons on the water source and how we use it in our daily lives. Concepts require higher math and physics...
