Students design a "container" for his/her egg to determine whether the egg remain intact when dropped from a predetermined height.

Students find the different ratios of a right triangle. In this geometry lesson, students apply the concept of the Pythagorean theorem as they identify the different angles and parts of a Unit Circle. They find the ratios of sine,...

This Visual Arts lesson plan focuses on the process of drawing a perspective from an eye level high above the ground. Students will create a chalk drawing of a scene of their choice by using the process and techniques of horizon line, a...

Learners go through various construction techniques needed to bisect angles, lines and arcs, construct a perpendicular from a vertex to a line, construct the center of a circle, transfer an angle, and various other constructions normally...

Young scholars investigate the difference between diseases that are controllable and those that happen by chance. They discuss the chance of dieing in a war with that of dieing from a disease that has controllable factors. They complete...

Students solve problems using math. They complete a graph, using data from the 2000 presidential election results. Students predict and calculate the outcome of the election based upon the voting patterns.

Students simulate the quarters aboard a ship. They write a letter to Joanna Colcord or Alice Drinkwater that shows an understanding of the experience of being aboard ship, and asks further historical questions about the experience.

Pupils explore the process of bookmaking that has its origins from many different international cultures. The multicultural symbolism represented by the medium is utilized by students to expres their identity.

Students classify photographs into a two-way classification system. They practice with pictures of people who are young and old, male and female, then they use pictures of animals to create their own two-way classification system.

Students draw cross sections of a stream channel from field data. In the field, using a GPS, they determine the depth of a stream channel and use a spreadsheet to graph the stream channel.

Learners use pattern blocks and triangular grid paper to review shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked: "Have you ever seen a floor or a wall...

Students participate in an activity where they build a calibrated thermometer.  In this thermometer lesson students complete this activity and take notes. 

Students examine the poetry of Emily Dickinson and the diction in her poetry. In this poetry analysis activity, students read Dickinson poetry and analyze the diction in the poems. Students journal about the poetry and rewrite their own...

The student will describe the effects of changing one or more dimensions on the area of a figure.

Given problem situations involving similar figures, the student will describe the effect on perimeter when one or more dimensions of the figure are changed and apply this idea in solving problems.

The student will describe the effects of changing one or more dimensions on the volume of a 3-dimensional figure.

In this project, you will make 2-dimensional templates, called nets, that fold up into 3-dimensional (3-D) shapes. By making shapes of different sizes, you will be able to see how 3-D shapes change with size. In your findings you will...

Given pictorial representations and problem situations involving area, the student will describe the effects on area when dimensions are changed proportionally.

Given pictorial representations and problem situations involving perimeter, the student will describe the effects on perimeter when dimensions are changed proportionally.

Learning module introduces students to the human dimensions of global environmental change: human actions that initiate changes in the structure and operation of the biosphere; the consequences of these actions on terrestrial ecology;...

In this activity, students discover the relationship between a change in the dimensions of a rectangle and the change in the corresponding area.

This program simulates a particle connected to an anchor by a damped spring in two dimensions. Try changing the initial settings.

Dissension in Massachusetts Bay Colony resulted in the formation of other New England colonies. Read about their formations, and the impact on the Native Americans in the area.

One piece of Play-Doh can make many different shapes. Even though you can change the shape by squishing or stretching the Play-Doh, it is still the same size unless you add or take away some of the dough. Try this experiment to test how...
