Learners identify the locations of the Hopewell culture. In this map skills lesson, students use a globe to mark several locations of the Hopewell culture.

Junior geologists examine topographic maps online and learn how to read them. they answer seven associated follow-up questions. This lesson plan is only a general outline and does not provide the details or the websites that you...

Students research and locate earthquake epicenters on a map using latitude and longitude. They determine if the depth of an earthquake has any relationship to the distance from a plate boundary.

Students investigate error. As shown in earlier activities from navigation lessons 1 through 3, without an understanding of how errors can affect position, one cannot navigate well. Students explore how computers can help in navigation....

Students are able to identify the units associated with linear work. They are able to calculate the work done on an object. Students discover how the force exerted on an object and the distance the object moves determines the work done...

Students explore the relationship between time traveled, distance and speed.  For this solar race car lesson students wire solar batteries using series and parallel circuitry. 

Students identify the route of Magellan's voyage. In this map skills lesson plan, students use a globe to identify various coordinates where Magellan traveled.

Students determine their own walking and running velocity. In this physics instructional activity, students calculate velocity using distance and time information. They compare human and animal speeds.

Students work together to test the strengths of various types of magnets. After testing, they create a graph showing how the strength changes as the distance from the magnet increases. They discuss how forces can act from various...

Students identify the different parts of a wave. For this physics lesson, students explain how animals communicate using sound waves. They discuss the effect of Navy's sonar on dolphins and whales.

Seventh graders explore the concept of integer addition. In this integer addition lesson plan, 7th graders tell stories involving addition and subtraction. Students walk on a number line given directions such as add 3 or add -2. Students...

Students place the stories of Chinese migration to Australia into geographical context, appreciating the distances travelled and the time involved - suggest reasons that people may have for migrating to Australia.

High schoolers get up close and personal with principles of motion. In this physics lesson, students collect and analyze acceleration data on amusement park rides. High schoolers use CBLs to collect data in this lesson.

Students build a realistic sense of geological time, seek clues of transition fossils and find them.  In this investigative lesson students complete several activities and worksheets on fossils. 

Students examine the aftermath of a volcano. In groups, they participate in activities focusing on the impact on plants and animals. To end the lesson, they discuss the positives to the environment after a volcanic eruption.

Seventh graders examine fossils.  In this vertebrate fossils lesson students view a demonstration.

Students solve triangles using the properties if congruency. In this geometry instructional activity, students apply congruent and similar figures to solve real world and math problems. They show they are able to follow instructions.

Students study the Civil War era in the US with a concentration on women during this time through literature and biographies. They create a timeline or multimedia presentation as one product of this series of lessons.

Students investigate U.S. Geography by creating a map in class. In this natural resource instructional activity, students create a map of the United States and research the Northeast based on their resources and recyclable...

As an enrichment or review of how to calculate equivalents in your cooking class, you could use this fun game. Plenty of time was put into designing this lesson, and plenty of time will be required for you to understand preparation...

Learners explore the extreme between the distance to the moon in comparison to the size of a particle of moon dust and solve problems related to the Apollo space missions.

Students examine a message sent from outer space and do their best to interpret its meaning. In this problem solving lesson, students investigate a code sent to them from "outer space." The students collaborate with their classmates to...

Students discuss how simple machines have made our lives easier and construct a compound machine. In this machines lesson plan, students watch a video on machines, look at websites, and follow task cards in order to make a simple machine.

Students calculate the circumference and diameter of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students construct a circle and calculate the distance of different sizes of circles. They define the relationship between the diameter and the...
