Pupils explore the idea that primitive virtual 3D objects can be reshaped to infinitely original combinations using additive and subtractive methods. They create 3-D objects with a computer which necessitates a cooperation of right-brain...

First graders use probability terminology to describe all possible outcomes of certain events. In this probability activity, 1st graders use counters to create a pretend "purse" of objects. Students create their own probability...

Young scholars model the preparation needed for a soft-landing on a planet or object in space. They do this by packaging a raw egg with certain material, and dropping the egg from a given height to test the packaging effectiveness.

Students discuss the differences between needs and wants, practice budgeting resources and investigate the workings of a capitalist society, by creating a mock store.

Sixth graders examine and investigate the solar system. They participate in a Webquest, and create a Powerpoint presentation that is meant to be a research guide to help alien visitors find a suitable habitat in the solar system.

Students participate in activities in which they model different disabilities. They discuss their experiences as a class. They work together in groups to discuss how to improve an adaptive device.

Students investigate the human circulatory system by experimenting with hoses.  In this human body lesson, students create a system of hoses simulating the circulatory system which they utilize to pass objects through....

Students discuss ways computers use properties of similar figures to generate scale models and create scenes. they describe patterns they have seen on a fern, pineapple, or pinecone. Students research Benoit mandebrot, H. von Koch and...

Learners listen to story Two of Everything, illustrate coins they would put into the Magic Pot using paper and pencil, and solve Magic Pot riddles by viewing slide show and predicting coin totals. Students then create table listing...

Students identify patterns found in nature. In this algebra lesson, students model situation in nature using fractals. They investigate biological geometric structures and draw conclusion based on geometric concepts.

Students analyze height and collect data to create a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to analyze their data and make predictions. They apply concept of statistics to other areas of academics to make a...

Students read the mystery novel, Chasing Vermeer, research the artist and his works. Through observation of his works, they create their own pencil sketches of selected paintings. Finally, students simulate Vermeer's interiors with...

High schoolers, in groups, conduct research about a specific disorder of the brain, create a character study of a person with that brain disorder, and then present the information to the rest of the class.

Students identify properties of circles. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the center of two intersecting circles.They use Cabri software to create circles and move it around to make observation.

Fourth graders examine and discuss the purposes and traditions of African ceremonial masks. They design and create African ceremonial masks using various materials.

Students use the Internet to answer lab questions about fractals, and then construct fractals using the initial stage and iteration rule. They complete tables and generate rules for the "nth" term and create their own fractals.

Students work together to create a 3D coordinate system. They plot points that are given to them and asked to find these points in space. They discover how engineers use coordinates in their careers.

Young scholars build their own tower using concepts from previous lessons. They are given a set of materials to use and general guidelines. They share what they have created with their classmates.

Sixth graders are instructed on how to create a pendulum and measure the periodicity of the pendulum, using four different combinations of string. They are asked which influences the time more- the length of the string or the weight at...

Eighth graders determine the amount of agitation necessary to dissolve various sized sugar particles. This task assess students' abilities to collect, organize, and interpret data, create appropriate graphs, predict future events based...

Third graders participate in a case study and use their problem solving skills to address the solution to a given situation. They consider how to survive in a foreign country, make economic decisions, and determine wise decisions for...

Ninth graders identify and describe the x-intercept as the place where the line crosses the x-axis as it applies to football. They create their own differentiations to reinforce the distinction between the x-intercept and the...

Young scholars engage in hands-on activities and observe videos to develop fraction skills. In one activity, they create "paper pizzas" complete with original toppings. By swapping pieces, students display whole and unique-looking pizzas.

First graders explore the concept of graphing. In this data lesson, 1st graders gather information from a class survey and display their findings on a picture graph. Students also practice solving problems that their instructor models.
