Students explore the traits of birds to uncover information about their eggs, feathers, beaks and other characteristics. The data is probed through a variety of exploration centers.

First graders create a diagram of a story by using the computer program Kidspiration. In this diagramming lesson plan, 1st graders will pick a book to write about. They then will plug in story elements of the book into the computer...

Students explore irrigation. In this science lesson plan, students show that water is necessary for plant growth and show how a dam can turn a nearly useless water way into a valuable form of irrigation.

Students identify shapes. For this geometry lesson, students cut out various shapes and create a "Shape Collage Pizza." Students glue their shapes onto a pizza template.

Second graders make an origami Johnny Appleseed. For this geometry lesson students follow folding instructions. They find different geometric shapes while they are folding. They create Johnny Appleseed's body and attach a face and hands...

Learners, in groups, plot points on the coordinate plane.

Third graders relate the concept of individuality of geometric shapes to the individuality of topic sentences. They write and revise a persuasive argument essay using an established rubric.

First graders distinguish cityscapes from seascapes and landscapes and explore the features of a community. Then, they create a pop-up paper city showing foreground, middle ground, and background.

Young scholars visit a local lake refuge and identify shapes they find in nature. They take pictures of the various shapes and use KidPix to draw shapes around the shapes in the pictures. They watch a slideshow of all the shapes found by...

Young scholars create entries for the Architects of America contest, including a model of a futuristic structure, blueprints, a list of all plane and solid shapes in the structure, a persuasive argument paper that describes why the...

Students explore ocean environments. In this ocean environment lesson, students identify the things ocean animals need for survival. Students use KWL charts and search the Internet collecting information about ocean habitats....

Second graders find the lines of symmetry in pattern blocks and alphabet letters. In this symmetry lesson, 2nd graders discuss what symmetry is, view examples of lines of symmetry and apply what they have learned by finding the line of...

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

In this math vocabulary instructional activity, students choose which multiple choice answer best defines twenty-five mathematical terms. Students place their answers on the lines provided.

In this Pan's highway worksheet, students read about the Cassini spacecraft that discovered how Pan clears out the ring debris in the outer A-ring system of Saturn. Students use an image taken by the satellite to find the scale of the...

Students design and produce snowmen.  In this winter lesson, students use CD's to create 3 dimensional snowmen.  Students discuss the senses of sight and touch as well as compare their craft snowmen to a real snowman.

Students explore symmetry in architecture.  In this cross curriculum art  and architecture lesson, students fold paper to illustrate symmetry and identify symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes.  Students observe photographs...

Students identify basic geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students read the book Shapetown and identify the various shapes from the story. Students are given a sheet and draw part of a town using only shapes.

In this precalculus worksheet, students show their mastery of terminal side angles, conversion form degrees to radians and supplementary angles. There are 16 questions on this test.

Students explore the origin of tangram. In this algebra lesson, students form different shapes and figures using tangram. They solve for the area of different shapes without using any geometric formulas, but the idea of tangram being put...

Students explore geometry by analyzing different shapes. In this shape identification lesson, students discuss the characteristics that make certain shapes unique and the same characteristics that cause shapes to look the same. Students...

Students identify and use the computer keyboard to complete simple tasks. Students eliminate the use of the computer mouse to do simple jobs. They use keys that are used alone, keys that specify object labels, Keys that result in objects...

Third graders use a number of problem solving strategies in this unit of lessons. They determine how to draw and model three-dimensional objects, use co-ordinate systems, determine probability of events, and identify paths of simple...
