Eleventh graders examine four different kinds of human rights.  In this American Government instructional activity, 11th graders research the assigned human right in their groups.  Students create a presentation about this...

In this prehsitory worksheet, students read a 3-page article about antropological finds and then respond to 2 short answer questions based on the article.

Third graders use a number of problem solving strategies in this unit of lessons. They determine how to draw and model three-dimensional objects, use co-ordinate systems, determine probability of events, and identify paths of simple...

Learners discuss the life and significance of Saint James. They identify details and features of New Spanish sculpture that make it unique.

Students learn the history of Christianity in New Spain. They learn the story and significance of the Virgin of Guadalupe. They compare and contrast images of the Virgin and religious art to European counterparts.

Fourth graders using the idea of "how many more squirts" fill a container to develop multiplicative thinking. They also investigate the idea of conservation of volume when working with oddly shaped containers. They attempt to use...

Students explore mathematical problem solving. Given a case problem, students write a rule to solve problems involving decimal multiplication and division. They invent problems, share them with the class, and solve other student's...

Students recognize the daily motion of the Sun across the sky, defining the main directions of east, west, south and north. They see how the first calendars were based on changes in the Sun's noontime elevation, and on locations of...

Learners are introduced to the apparent motion of the Sun across the sky and the way it changes in summer and winter.

Young scholars observe the daily motions of the sun and relate them to the functions of a sundial. They determine the locations of sunrises and sunsets and determine how the elevation of the sun effects temperature.

Young scholars discuss relief sculptures and examine many examples of Roman urns with relief sculptures. They consider the information these urns give us about Roman culture and then use drywall to design and create their own relief...

Students examine the traditional dress of the Chinese people and create a new story line for "The Emperor's New Clothes" set in China. This creative project allows students to illustrate pages for the new class book.

Seventh graders demonstrate basic English skills. They demonstrate multi-tasking skills when working with computers. They respond to the information by asking probing questions about basic technological terminology.

Eighth graders write a multi paragraphed, expository composition that explanins how one would conduct themself before, during, and after a job interview. In order to be prepared for the interview, 8th graders complete a thesis, have an...

Students discuss the purposes of persuasive speaking and writing with emphasis upon what makes them different from other kinds. They brainstorm and discuss ways to select "The Greatest American Who Ever Lived" and prepare a persuasive...

This unit encourages students to assess the validity of a set of statements and then plan and carry out investigations to find out whether the statements are true. Students then carry out statistical investigations of their own.

Students use the lesson, "Squirt", to support students' development of multiplicative thinking. Squirt encourages students to anticipate multiplicative measurement relationships, e.g. three measures of A fit in B, by partially filling a...

Third graders estimate the volume and mass of one marshmallow using appropriate standard units. They design and carry out an investigation to find the average of volume/mass of one marshmallow.

Students use seconds, minutes, and hours. They then discuss the size of a thousand. After that they read time in digital or analogue form.

Students examine the math problem, think about it and discuss with their classmates. They work on the rest of the problems in pairs using problem solving strategies and fractions.

Students listen to the problem read to them. They answer some simple questions using number sentences. They then compose a written record of the solution and share their approaches used.

Fourth graders read Mary's problem and make sure that they examine it. After some discussion, let the class work on the problem in their groups. They then take turns in putting a picture of their arrangement on the board.

Young scholars look for patterns to solve problems involving statistics using different colored gumballs. They should be able to look for and find out all the possible outcomes based upon inference and trials.

Young scholars need to be able to calculate the volume and surface area of a cuboid as well as present a systematic list of results in order to justify the minimum case. The use of three factors of 100 is also important.
