Students discuss the sum of central angles and use string to create them on circles. They find the measure and length of both minor and major arcs. Students give examples of concentric, similar, and congruent circles and congruent arcs.

Fifth graders study six major biomes, graph temperature and rainfall, and present their findings to the class.

Second graders select a stock and follow its ups and downs, using graphs to show its success.

Students explore perimeter, volume, and area. In this math lesson, students explore how changes in dimensions of geometric shapes affect the perimeter, area and volume of the various shapes. Students investigate the results when the...

Students construct their own pendulum. In this physics lesson plan, students design an experiment to find the factors affecting its period. They formulate a conclusion based on experimental data.

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

Students discuss potential and kinetic energy and design roller coasters to study this concept. In this energy instructional activity, students discuss the potential and kinetic energy of a roller coaster. Students design roller coasters...

Eighth graders determine food that they would need to survive in the wild. They graph the best foods for their environments and rate the survivability rate for each member of their group.

Students research the salary for a career of interest. They consider what kind of lifestyle that career would provide and graph their information for comparison.

Students discover how abolute value affects linear functions. They complete a worksheet simulating a path for miniature golf hole in one for three figures. They construct a hole in one graph for each hole marking the X and Y coordinates.

Students explore the issues that influence our environment and research ways to decrease the negative impact that humans have on the environment. Misconceptions about environmental issues are addressed in this activity.

Tenth graders explore mathematics by participating in hands-on daily activities. Learners identify a list of different shapes and classify them by shape, size, sides and vertices. They utilize tangrams and geometric pieces to gain...

Young scholars run a computer simulation and collect data as they work and use the data to create an annual report for their business. It is desirable for students to do this project individually, but it could be done as a class using a...

Students research sea life using laptop computers. In this sea life lesson, students participate in a field trip to the beach and enter observations into their laptop computers. Students classify shells and sea life.

Second graders, using two dice, participate in a car race game called Cars on the Curve. They predict which car wins the game and records it in their Data Diary.

Students analyze data and make inferences. In this algebra lesson, students collect and analyze data as they apply it to the real world.

Second graders explore probability by playing a drawing game with dice. After they roll a die, they draw a tree diagram to illustrate each of the possible outcomes.

Students learn about demographic population pyramids. They then design and fictitious nation and draw its population pyramid.

Fifth graders create their own solar panel. They use this experiment to see how the sun can be used as a form of energy.

Students analyze the number of times each letter in the alphabet is used in the names of the states. In this statistics instructional activity, students create a stem and leaf plot, box and whisker plot and a histogram to analyze their...

Seventh graders explore the concept of calculating percents. In this calculating percents lesson, 7th graders simulate ordering food off of a menu. Students work in groups to calculate the bill, tax, and the tip for the...

Eighth graders measure in feet and inches and convert to explore the relationship between the converted measurements. In this measurement instructional activity, 8th graders use the whisker and box plot to represent the measurement of a...

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

This is not your typical Ferris wheel problem. In this exercise, your class will combine their knowledge of sinusoidal functions as well as linear motion to come up with parametric equations that model the position of a point on the edge...
