Curated OER
Euler Characteristic
Students identify the different properties of Euler's Characteristics. In this geometry lesson, students identify the shape and surface a polygon. They relate the concept of Euler to solving real world problems.
Curated OER
Carving Stone with Copper
Students explain the properties of copper as a material for making tools and explain the properties of different chisel points. They gain practice taking notes on qualitative and quantitative data.
Curated OER
Identifying Shapes and Matching
Students recognize shapes and repeating shapes can make a pattern. In this patterns lesson, students identify pictures of shapes as patterns or not patterns. Students describe how the pattern is made.

Rocket Design: Aerodynamics, Trajectories
Students use science inquiry skills to build and launch a simple rocket, from several wooden launch pads of various angles, to determine what trajectory angle carry a rocket the greatest distance.
Curated OER
"3-D" Painting
Students experiment with color using tints and shades of at least 2 hues and create a 3-D painting/mobile.
Curated OER
Spring Egg
First graders create a spring egg out of pastels, construction paper and glue, create and continue a pattern, and experience a different type of art media.
Curated OER
Know Your Polygons!
Students identify and categorize different polygons. In this polygons lesson plan, students research and identify properties of polygons, identify different polygon shapes, and categorize different triangles and quadrilaterals.
Curated OER
Shape Hunt
Explore the world of shapes! After free tangram exploration and pair share time, learners describe various patterns and shapes in both the natural and designed world. They investigate the use of tangrams to create patterns and shapes.
