In this context clues learning exercise, students read the sentences and choose the best meaning of the underlined word. Students complete 10 online questions.

Students explore probability and the process of data analysis and predictions. They participate in two activities, one involving a calculator and one the Internet, in which they make predictions and conduct activities to test their...

Students experiment with hot and cold water, and ice, to examine how both clouds and fog are formed. Students observe and record results, and report their findings to classmates.

Seventh graders use a pond to explore macroinvertebrates and other organisms. They use a dichotomous key to classify the organisms and maintain a journal recording their findings.

Students determine if human practices have any noticeable effects on the quality of stream life as measured by the presence of certain macroinvertebrates. They collect, preserve and identify macroinvertibrate samples and quantify the data.

Interactive site where students find which nets are able to form a cube.

This applet allows you to examine various two-dimensional figures to determine which ones can be folded into a cube.

Sixth graders explore cube nets in an effort to understand what properties are common to all nets that form a cube. Students work hands-on with nets and are then pushed to use their experience to visually determine whether other nets...

Excellent interactive challenge working with cube nets to stack them in a specific order. Manipulate the cubes online to solve the problem.

Use these calculator tools to find the volume, in your choice of units, of a sphere, cone, cube, cylinder, rectangular prism, capsule, ball cap, conical frustum, ellipsoid, or square pyramid. Includes a reference section listing formulas...

Use these calculator tools to find the surface area, in your choice of units, of a sphere, cone, cube, cylinder, rectangular prism, capsule, ball cap, conical frustum, ellipsoid, or square pyramid. Includes a reference section listing...

Generate different "nets" for paper construction of common three-dimensional shapes: cube, cuboid, pyramid, cone, tetrahedron, cylinder, octahedron, rhombic prism, dodecahedron, pentagonal prism, and pentagonal prism.

Use this applet to determine the volume of a box by filling it with cubes, rows of cubes, or layers of cubes. Determine the surface area as well by using the box's net.

Contains six examples of polyhedra nets (cube, tetrahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron, cubosctahedron).

A very detailed lesson on determining the volume of rectangular prisms, teaching students how to derive the formula for volume, and to use it successfully. Plenty of examples, student work, and assessment options.

The class has been contracted to work for a box factory. They are to make cube shaped jewelry boxes. Learners determine how many different nets are possible and then analyze the resulting cubes. This real-world situation helps to develop...

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this flipchart, students explore geometric sense by interacting with plane diagrams that create a three-dimensional shape.

Improve your logic and net recognition skills with this learning game. Solution included.

This tutorial features templates and instructions to make the following solids: tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron.

A "one star" geometry problem that requires problems solving skills and exercises ones visual-spatial abilities.

Have fun and learn by making a box and then find out its maximum volume as well as other problem-solving activities, including making a table of your results and drawing a graph.

Lesson plans for many student activities which introduce the concept of polyhedra into the classroom. Some activities can be accomplished by hand with paper, pencils, and scissors, but the unit works best if the students can regularly...
