Tenth graders explore mathematics by participating in hands-on daily activities. Learners identify a list of different shapes and classify them by shape, size, sides and vertices. They utilize tangrams and geometric pieces to gain...

While this lesson is based on the Bruchid beetle, the focus is on conducting a scientific investigation. Ecology explorers vary the temperature or the type of leaf that Bruchid eggs are laid on and test for effects on the development...

Ninth graders, in groups, research a Canadian astronaut, developing a profile of their astronaut for presentation in a learning center. They visit the other groups' centers to explore more astronauts.

Get out the goggles and conduct a simple experiment to model and explore the harmful effects of acid rain (vinegar) on living (green leaf and eggshell) and non-living (paper clip) objects. Young chemists observe and describe the harmful...

Explore the powers of ten while examining a Blue Morpho butterfly wing. Learners discover there is a lot more than meets the eye when one looks close enough.

Putty is proof that learning can be fun! Share the wonderful world of polymers with your class through an experiment. Young scientists create their own silly putty, then examine its properties.

Students explain the complexity of resource, land use, and conservation decisions.

Fourth graders are given a scenario in the lesson that presents a problem that needs to be solved. They conduct research from multiple sources in order to gather information. This is used to contribute to possible solutions proposed by...

Students explore solar energy, why we use it and how we use it.  In this renewable energy instructional activity students compare active and solar techniques.

Students investigate how to create drawings using a word processing program. They examine the use of draw tools in Microsoft Word. They combine drawing with the patterns they made for a truss bridge projects. They follow the teacher's...

Students listen to a read aloud of Shel Silverstein's, The Little Blue Engine. They design and build a Lego train that climbs a three foot incline, one foot at a time. They draw and write about their design.

In this environment worksheet, high schoolers find the solutions to building an environmentally friendly home and they examine the long-terms costs associated with ownership.

Young scholars work together to design a new sport for disabled persons. They share their new sport with the class. They discover how mechanical and biomedical engineers use information to test prosthetics.

Pupils watch a video and answer questions based on wildlife jobs. In this wildlife lesson plan, students learn that biologists don't just play with animals but that there is a lot of study involved.

Fifth graders use a mystery bag to discover ways in which humans endanger the life of animals by changing their habitat. In this animal habitat lesson, 5th graders work with a partner to design a solution to the problem of habitat...

High schoolers understand the need for carefully defining the problem before searching for a solution. They understand the need for carefully defining the problem before searching for a solution. Students compare a variety of catapults...

Learners solve problems of inequalities and equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students add, subtract, multiply and divide to solve inequalities. They graph their solutions on a number line.

Eighth graders practice technology skills through the use of a spreadsheet and a discovery lesson focusing upon linear equations. The technology allows for the visual changes to be displayed for different lines of equations.

Students are introduced to the concepts of molarity and titration. As a class, they develop a list of the correct steps they need to follow to create a specific concentration of a solution. They design and complete an experiment in...

Students create friendship bracelets using a circular pattern. In this friendship lesson, students use visual aides such as Kidspiration and use a problem solving method to learn more each other.
