Even middle schoolers still enjoy experimenting with bubbles! They execute a series of experiments enabling them to distinguish between convex and concave surfaces, explore the properties of buoyancy, surface tension, and density,...

Middle-schoolers still enjoy playing with bubbles! In this series of eight laboratory activities, science learners explore convex and concave surfaces, angles, gas laws, buoyancy, density and more! 

Here is a very interesting way of studying triangles and polygons. Pupils work together and use pieces of string to create a variety of shapes. Depending on how many kids are manipulating the string at any one time, the number of...

In this math worksheet students use the intermediate value theorem to solve two problems. They find parallel lines that will cut a convex shape into two pieces with equal areas. Students repeat this problem with a concave shape. Students...

Pupils investigate the concept of two dimensional polygons. They complete a vocabulary chart with the teacher or in independently. Students are shown various polygons in order to classify them and then asked to draw one of them from memory.

Elementary graders discover the concept of fractional pieces of a whole. They investigate the meanings of fractions in everyday life and why they are used. Pupils divide brownies amongst each other to demonstrate the use of fractions...

Sixth graders create polygons. In this shapes lesson, 6th graders explore prefixes such as oct, tri, quad, pent, etc. and share their findings. Students use pattern blocks to create two different polygons and label them.

Students engage in a lesson plan that is concerned with the concept of quadrilaterals and how they are used to create a rectangle for a door. They create a drawing of a quadrilateral while finding the sum of the angles. They practice...

Fifth graders analyze optical images. in this optical lesson, 5th graders look at how light reflects and refracts. They discuss different types of lenses and how they change the picture that is taken. 

Third graders represent fractions as part of a whole. In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders use manipulatives to show how a fraction is a part of a whole. This lesson includes individual practice and an assessment instead of direct...
