Third graders research ghost towns. In this geography lesson, 3rd graders locate ghost towns on a map and choose one location to research. Students construct a research paper and present it to the class.

Students, in groups, construct different angles and shapes on a large scale using string and chalk.

Students examine the correlation between art and math. Using their computers, students construct and measure angles. Students identify the properties of angles and polygons. They engage in the Angles program on their Palm and use the...

Pupils create their own "weather" map using data from x-ray sources. They analyze and discuss why it is important to organize data in a fashion in which is easy to read. They compare and contrast different x-ray sources using a stellar map.

In this advanced sentence completion worksheet, students choose the best word(s) to complete each sentence. Students must complete more than one blank per sentence in some instances.

Pupils construct, interpret and translate maps and geographic data. Given a worksheet, students identify an island, an atoll, a scale, and a compass rose. Pupils grid systems, legends, and symbols. They use the map to find answers to...

Young scholars construct models of various tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes that are possible, classify n-cubes into different groupings, and draw these figures on isometric dot paper giving true perspective to what they visualize.

Learners explore the making of circles and concepts related to them in geometry. The project is inquiry based will focus upon students making their own nametags. The construction is ideal for hands on learners.

Students are able to explain their models to other students and to their parents. Then students like to decorate the room by hanging the models or constructing mobiles of a number of models.

Second graders use a checklist to construct a Geo-Town map including a compass rose, a map key, and a paragraph about a walk around Geo-Town, using appropriate geometric and directional vocabulary to identify the two-dimensional figures...

Students examine and study how to recognize the characteristics of a regular pentagon and demonstrate how to construct one. They become aware of associating a regular pentagon to its term of a double map and practice the concept of line...

Students practice measuring elevation, one of the key coordinates used by astronomers. They describe how the elevation of an object is measured. and combine compass directions and elevation to find celestial objects.

Students, in groups, create maps of islands including map keys and compass roses. They compare and contrast their island communities with that of the island prison, Alcatraz. Students select from a series of projects, including writing...

Students display what they have learned about bridges as they construct their bridge. They present their projects to the rest of the class. They compare and contrast the construction of the bridges.

High schoolers explain the design, principle and orientation of a sundial, the type with a gnomon pointing towards the pole of the heavens. They construct a model sundial from paper.

Sixth graders conduct a survey and collect data to construct a bar graph that will then be changed into a circle graph. With the bar graph, 6th graders compare estimated fractions and percentages and estimate percentages. With the circle...

Students, as a final project, draw a picture of their ideal neighborhood on a sunny day. In addition to the sun, their drawings include homes, trees, streets, and selected objects. Each object in their drawing has a written description...

Young scholars identify, locate and draw at least ten different geographical features on a map. Using the map, they must make it to scale and include their own legend and compass rose. They share their map with the class and answer...

Students are introduced to the sundial, its design and use.

High schoolers receive an introduction to the sundial, its design and use.

Students use a computer to simulate building and testing bridges with various types of trusses.

Seventh graders examine the process of constructing a site plan map at archaeological sites. They discuss the process of mapping techniques and calculation of percentages, create a plan site map of a cellar at Jamestown, and calculate...

Students construct clocks and then learn how to read a clock face, tell time, and determine how much time has elapsed.

Students develop a pseudo code flowchart for their robotic program. In this physics lesson, students construct a robot that can navigate through certain obstacles. They test their robot and present them to class.
