Third graders create a model of the solar system. In this solar system lesson, 3rd graders create a scale model of the solar system. Working in pairs students solve mathematical problems to correctly measure the distance each planet is...

Pupils use a CD-ROM to identify parts of the painting "Las Meninas". They complete a worksheet based on questions in the different segments of the CD-ROM. They research the royal family and compare them to other families and portraits....

Pupils explore percent increases and decreases. They calculate the percent increase and decrease. Students use math to solve problems and communicate. They apply the given formula for percent increase/decrease.

Students relate data to coordinate graphs and plot points on this graph. They use minimum wage data to construct the graph. Students decide appropriate time intervals for the graphs. They share graphs with their classmates.

Young scholars create and give oral proposals for the construction of a gazebo using a blueprint created with Geometer's Sketchpad. They then build a gazebo model using the blueprints created and provide evidence why it should be...

Sixth grade students: design a stained glass window, submitting their initial plan detailing the measurements of all lines and angles. Seventh grade students: create a scale drawing of their own geometric family of four members.

Students experience how texture is one of the six basic elements of design. It gives an image authenticity and 'flavor'. It invites the audience to enter a piece and encourages each viewer to experience rather than simply observe.

Students simulate the motion of a fly ball with different winds. They use a partner to provide the simulated wind. Students draw a baseball diamond and the field on a piece of paper. They drag the pen across the paper to show the path of...

In this math learning exercise, students examine the graph of the derivative. Then they determine the critical points that correspond to the relative extrema.

Students examine the concept of multiculturalism. In this Teaching Tolerance lesson plan, students consider their self concepts and world views as they participate in an activity that requires them to describe themselves as well as major...

Students create jewelry from junk mail. In this visual art lesson, students use junk mail to design necklaces and bracelets.

Students study the layer of the atmosphere. In this lesson on the atmosphere, students discuss the composition of the air around us and how the atmosphere was formed. Students create a scale model of the layers of the atmosphere.

In this volume of a prism worksheet, students calculate the volumes and missing lengths of seven prisms.  The solutions are provided.

Students define patterns, relation and function. In this algebra lesson, students find the slope of a line and write equations of line. They model the slope using real life scenarios.

Students identify he proportion of a cereal box. In this algebra lesson, students define the relationship between patterns, functions and relations. They model their understanding using the cereal box.

In this critical reading worksheet, students read a short passage regarding intelligence augmentation and then answer five questions based on the reading.

Students enter a race against time to determine the maximum sized box that can be formed from a standard sheet of copy paper. The boxes are to be used to contain a valuable and rare element which is light as cotton and corrosive to all...
