First graders practice map skills.

First graders learn directional words and apply this skill to map making. They record their steps on paper.

Students explore facts about South America in the four lessons of this unit. Booklets are created from the materials produced as the class delves into the topic.

Students, in small groups, create and exchange map questions and share them with students in Japan. After examining the maps, they compare and contrast the two maps on the county Web Board. Students use a rubric to evaluate their answers.

In this science word search activity, students identify and locate words as they relate to energy transfer and magnetism. There are 17 words to locate in the puzzle and spell correctly.

Students experiment using a compass for navigation and consider how various instruments affect how we travel.

Students explain how the earth's magnetic field works and looks. They create their own free-floating compass using the everyday materials. After constructing their compass, they test it and determine north.

Students use a compass to move from one point to another point. The procedure can be a valuable tool to help students become more observant of their surroundings.

First graders identify the map and globe symbols: Cardinal Directions; Compass Rose; Mountains; Rivers; Lakes; Towns; Roads.

For this geometry worksheet, young scholars construct angle bisectors of two provided rays using a straightedge and a compass. There are 6 questions.

Students study navigation skills when a compass is unavailable. They are timed as they move quickly through a predetermined arrangement of numbered traffic cones . They straddle over the cone and read the bearing found on the record...

Students apply their knowledge of scale when mapping the classroom. They determine the use of a map legend and orient a map using a compass. They create the classroom maps using transfer graph paper.

Students read Blackbeard and brainstorm their knowledge of maps. In this language arts and geography lesson, students use landmarks on their playground to review north, south, east and west and discuss the compass rose. Students read...

Students develop an understanding of pi and the relationship between the diameter, radius and circumference. After a lecture/demo, students use construction paper and a compass to solve problems using diameter, radius and circumference.

Second graders discuss the cardinal directions and intermediate directions and then look at the spooky map to locate different points on the map. They answer questions about where things are located in reference to another object and...

Students are introduced to the relationship between electricity and magnetism. Using a compass, they observe and record the effects of placing the object near magnetic fields and electric currents. They also experiment using a steel and...

Learners construct perpendicular lines. For this geometry lesson, students use a compass and straight edge to do construction. They start from a point to a line.

Students are introduced to the attraction and repulsion of magnetic forces. In groups, they observe how the forces react with different materials and record their data. They develop their own conclusions about the poles of magnets and...

Second graders identify a map, symbol, key, and compass rose. Students create and print a map for teacher evaluation using the computer. Students identify the symbols on their map and orally present them to the class.

Pupils stack several different colored marshmallows-one on top of the other-in the tall cylindrical container. They ct a cardboard disk to fit snugly inside of the container on top of the marshmallow stack using a compass if necessary....

Eighth graders define the terms: magnetism, poles, compass, magnetic field, lines of force, electromagnet. They name two properties shared by all magnets and describe how one magnet will affect another.

For this magnet worksheet, learners review what makes up matter, how electromagnets are made, and how compasses work. This worksheet has 6 fill in the blank and 2 short answer questions.

In this Euclidean geometry worksheet, students use a straight edge and a compass to create constructions that are possible with Euclid's Postulates. This one-page worksheet contains two construction problems.

Students explore the concept of locating rational numbers on a number line. In this rational numbers lesson, students change improper fractions to mixed numbers to determine where on a number line the rational number belongs. Students...
