Third graders are asked how multiplication, division, addition and subtraction are related. After being read part of a book, they work together to build a model between addition and multiplication. To end the lesson, they write about...

Students engage in a lesson which involves role-play and the use of manipulatives to solve subtraction problems. After a lecture/demo, students utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain subtraction practice. They get to eat the...

Second graders identify and describe basic geometric solids. Working as a class, 2nd graders describe geometric solids using the proper vocabulary and counting faces, bases, corners, and edges. In pairs, students use a computer drawing...

Fifth graders solve equations. In this algebraic equations lesson plan, 5th graders use the inverse operation to solve an equation. The teacher reminds students to perform the operation on both sides of the equation. This lesson plan...

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 discover the background and properties of minerals. They examine fluorite and record data after testing it. They use the internet to help them discover information about minerals.

Pupils conduct an experiment to determine dew point and use a formula to detemine altitude. They construct a chart and predict what altitude clouds would form, given the dew point on the ground.

Sixth graders identify and draw two-dimensional representations of a three-dimensional object. Students investigate the views of an object and determine that three views are required (front, one side and the top). Students use these...

n a class discussion Students identify events or situations as being likely to occur or unlikely to occur. Then, they work in pairs to generate likely and unlikely statements to share with the class.

Students are read a book about ladybugs. Using the test, they estimate which page shows the longest trip the ladybug made. They assemble their own ladybug book by following directions on a worksheet. They take measurements on each...

Young scholars examine the characteristics of the Oak Ridge Moraine in Canada. Using a map, the locate the moraine and present and defend a position on how the resources found there should be used. They must use proper geography...

Students brainstorm about the sources of heat. They discuss that sunlight is one of those sources. Students complete a lab about cold water and warm water. They record the temperatures from each thermometer and discuss which container...

In this forces in fluids learning exercise, students answer questions as they relate to forces in fluids. Students complete a chart about atmospheric pressure.

Students study the important characteristics of quadratic relationships by exploring the area of rectangles with a fixed perimeter. This lesson involves tables, graphing and patterns. This Lesson is adapted from a Connected Math Unit:...
