Students work together to identify marine debris. They explain the effect of the debris on various ecosystems. They draw different types of ocean currents as well.

Students become familiar with the style of architecture of medieval times.  In this architecture lesson, students design a model of a medieval castle including its cornerstone. Students understand scale in their representation.

Fifth graders explore polygons. In this math lesson, 5th graders find examples of regular polygons in the classroom and measure the sides of figures to determine if they are regular polygons.

Pupils classify polygons by name and shape. In this geometry lesson, students identify the lateral surface of each conic. They differentiate between cones, cylinders and spheres.

Learners calculate the surface area of different prisms. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the shapes of solids based on the properties of that solid. They calculate the surface area using nets and properties of prisms.

Students study basic concepts necessary to produce beautiful, professional looking visual compositions (which can then be used in professional television productions).

Fourth graders apply their understanding of the elements of plot structure and conflict to cooperatively create storyboards and speak effectively as they present their products. They create storyboards for some of the classic Disney...

Tenth graders investigate the three D world of building. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate math as it relates to the real world, increasing their perspective on mathematical concepts. They realize there is more to math...

Young scholars find triangles in the real world. In this geometry activity, students analyze and identify properties of two and three-dimensional objects. They differentiate between similarity and congruence.

Fourth graders determine the value of ? by measuring the circumference and diameter of circular objects such as soup cans, Oreo cookies, etc..

Tenth graders explore DNA using online tutorial. They perform their own DNA extraction from a clove of garlic and identify the key components of DNA.

Students investigate the rigid motions of reflection, rotation, translation, and dilation. This investigation be accomplished through classroom instruction and exploration using Geometer's Sketchpad.

Students make animated houses using slab-built clay ceramic techniques. They treat the surface of the house with a technique known as majolica.

Fifth graders investigate the characteristics of owls through various science and art activities. They analyze drawings by J.J. Audubon and complete a Venn diagram comparing the similarities and differences of different kinds of owls,...

Learners investigate the ties that architecture and math have in common. They focus on works of architecture in the world that is considered of great significance. Students use the internet to find building images from around the world....

Fifth graders read the novel "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH." They discuss the various characters in the book, and the different types of conflict that take place within the book. They also research owls and rats to make comparisons...

Students determine how changes in the coefficients in a quadratic function affect its graph. They determine how to use the equation to determine the intercepts of a quadratic function. Students identify the location of the intercepts...

In this planes activity, students consider the position of given vectors and find the vector equation of a plane. They identify the points that lie on a plane and determine the equation of a line through given points. This two-page...

In this plane worksheet, students find the midpoint of a line, determine points on a plane, and use the cross product to find an equation with given parameters. This two-page worksheet contains three problems.

Students investigate symmetry in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students inter-relate math and technology. They create and name a variety of polygons.

Seventh graders investigate the area and volume of 2D and 3D figures. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders create a storyboard explaining their knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes. They analyze their data and interpret their...

Students listen to The Important Thing About Quilt Design and rewrite an original version using geometric terms.

Students gather and order historical evidence surrounding the Silk Roads. They identify key people, places, and events in the history of the Silk Roads. They gain an understanding of the rich diversity of peoples and places found along...

Eighth graders differentiate speed and velocity. In this physics lesson, 8th graders explain Newton's laws of motion. They calculate speed using a mathematical formula.
