Students calculate the volume and surface area of each shape. In this geometry lesson, students use nets and other three dimensional polygons to create visuals of the volume of a shape. They define important vocabulary words...

Students explore the world of African masks and storytelling. They create masks that tell stories of their own.

The focus of this lesson is personal choice and how changing circumstances can affect one person's ethical choices. During the Holocaust, people made choices, and by placing individuals in the appropriate historical context students can...

Students explore the concept of Pascal's Triangle. In this Pascal's Triangle lesson, students use an applet called 'Coloring Multiples' to explore Pascal's Triangle. Students develop patterns starting with various numbers in Pascal's...

Students watch segments of "Unforgiveable Blackness" in class. They analyze Jack Johnson's problems with the law and the legal trouble of other athletes today. They create a set of standards they believe athletes should follow.

Students examine the significance and symbolism of The Green Man. They create a Green Man using a monochromatic color scheme.

In this electrical learning exercise, students interpret schematics to answer a series of 31 questions about mixed frequency signals. This learning exercise is printable and the answers are available on-line.

Ninth graders explain how wind can produce electricity. In this geometry lesson, 9th graders construct their own pin wheel turbine and calculate its power. They discuss the pros and cons of using wind generator.

Students view and discuss the work of Elaine de Kooning and then the students create a painting in the Abstract Expressionist style.

Students research the role of lions, elephants, and bears in ancient Roman life and mythology. They develop a strong understanding of the role animals played in important ancient Roman historical events and myths.

Students observe two-dimensional shapes and work on the challenge that what is observed is as important as what is not observed. Students determine constructions, rules and connections. Full references listed for further reading and...

Twelfth graders study the concept of nanotechnology. In this Modern Technology lesson, 12th graders read an article about the upcoming Nanotechnology. Students create an enhanced sports product.

Young scholars analyze the art of Mexican artist Jose' Clemente Orozco and complete analysis activities. In this Mexican art analysis lesson, students read about Orozco's Zapatistas and answer discussion questions.

Students explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. In this surface area instructional activity, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons....

Young scholars examine African cultures through the study of masks in the initiation ceremonies in French speaking black Africa. They analyze masks, and create their own masks.

Sixth graders experiment with dice, playing cards, pennies and computer-generated simulations to calculate probability. They use compiled data to make predictions.

Sixth graders participate in a lesson that focuses on the concept of finding the prime factorization of a number. They write the answer using exponential notation. Students play a game of Bingo to keep engaged during the lesson.

Sixth graders research various types of volcanoes. They explore the various emissions that come from them. Offer some explanation why some erupt by "quietly" puring lava, while others blast out chunks of rock and clouds of ash and gases.

Students explore works by French painter Jean-Leon Gerome. For this visual arts lesson, students investigate the use of perspective in Gerome's work and then make their own drawings that feature the use of perspective.

Eighth graders participate in the mini-metric Olympics. In this measurement instructional activity, 8th graders solve real-world problems that require them to calculate length, area, and volume in metric units.

Students build and apply concepts of geometry. In this geometry instructional activity, students create a building using proportions and scale drawings. They use Cabri technology to create a virtual drawing first.

Students construct using Cabri software. In this geometry lesson, students convert between units and apply the correct measurements to build objects. They create the room virtually and manipulate the shapes to the desired measurements.

Young scholars discuss the concepts of reflection, rotation, and translation. In this rotation activity, students investigate rotations through examples on an overhead projector. No additional worksheet or student assignment is included.

Students examine the life and actions of Max Schmeling during World War II. They read and analyze an article, compare/contrast Schmeling's choices with other people during this time period, and write a journal response.
