Learners identify and use the similarity theorem. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between congruent and similar triangles. They solve problems using the computer modifying shapes by dragging.

Students collect and analyze data using a graph. In this algebra lesson, students explain their findings orally and with a graph. They use their knowledge to solve real life scenarios.

Young scholars examine the history behind the frisbee and how Bernoulli's principle and Newton's law plays a role.  For this flight lesson students complete an experiment on how the rim of a frisbee effects flight. 

Students participate in monthly scaffolded lessons that focus on working with whole numbers from 1 to 10. They work with tiles on exploration mats, number tile mats, and a number representation book. Each month they complete activities...

Learners identify the pattern in a problem. In this geometry instructional activity, students make predictions, collect and analyze data. They apply the idea of scales and measurements to the real world.

Water conservation and management is the focus of this lesson plan. Students identify the need for being "water wise" in society through research and discussion. and present their findings in many different formats (short story, poetry,...

Students research, using the Internet, cultures of the world. They identify countries, their currency, holidays, climate and societal information. They look at the distance of international cities from their hometown.

Learners generate and choose specific skills and tasks to guide the work-based learning experience. They use the five steps to setting goals to help their goal planning to be more efficient. In addition, they view a Goals power point...

Students explore the characteristics of water. In this water exploration lesson, students participate in various learning centers to inquire how water drains and how to increase the flow of water. Students use estimation and measurement...

Students use cameras to take pictures of their community and create an exhibit to raise money. In this cameras lesson plan, students learn basic photography techniques and send their money to the "kids with cameras" project.

Students discover depth in photographs or paintings by creating a picture from scrap paper.  In this art analysis lesson, students practice creating depth by placing different elements higher or lower on a picture.  Students...

Young scholars identify the properties of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students find the slope of a line and calculate the distance between two lines. They differentiate between similar and congruent polygons.

Students define vocabulary words. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the graph as a line, ray or segments. They understand the properties of each and calculate the distance on a number line. 

Pupils examine the wattage of a light bulb using math. In this algebra lesson, students find the inverse square of given parameter. They work in groups collecting and analyzing data.

Students explore how Newton tied together the gravity observed on Earth and the motion of the Moon. They apply an earlier lesson about centripetal forces.

Students are introduced to the primary, secondary and tertiary colors. Individually, they are to create a color wheel with all three levels of colors in a creative way. To end the lesson, they present their wheel to the class and...

Students are introduced to a variety of different fibers. After acting out a short story, they discover how yarn and basic weaves are made. To end the lesson, they practice making their own weave pattern using paper strips and then yarn.

Learners complete a pre-test to determine what they already know about what to do in an emergency. In groups, they read real-life scenerios and decide what the proper way to handle the situation. To end the instructional activity, they...

Students identify various units of measurement. In this measurement instructional activity, students learn several chants that combine metric vocabulary words and actions to reinforce the concepts learned.

  Students practice measurement.  In this fractions lesson, 6th graders measure volume of a liquid, e.g. 1/5 liter, and learn the vocabulary of fractions (numerator, denominator). Students solve sample problems in small...

Fifth graders use various strategies to find the area of land, the area of forestry and the population of Japan and the US. In this size per unit lesson, 5th graders explore how to figure ratio. Students draw pictures to...

Fifth graders investigate and compare the behavior of magnetism using magnets. In this physics lesson plan, 5th graders write about the similarities and differences of a variety of magnet types.
