Fifth graders create a net for a given polyhedron. They determine the corresponding polyhedron for a given net. Students investigate several polyhedra (cube, tetrahedron, and one of their choosing) and their corresponding nets. They...

Fifth graders record measurements and calculate the volume. They select and use appropriate units and procedures to measure volume # use tools such as technology to solve problems

Learners participate in a theme study while teaching primary students basic skills according to Individual Education Plan (IEP) goals in Reading, Math, and Writing. The instructional activity is concerned primarily with the concept of...

Pupils explain why some objects attract and some do not. In this physics lesson, students investigate the magnetic properties of objects using CEENBoT. They give some important applications of magnets.

Students are involved in hands-on activities to determine how course conditions affect bobsled, luge, and downhill ski races.

First graders make ice cream and determine what makes this liquid turn into a solid.

Students create a design for a school garden. In this garden design lesson, students analyze what plants grow best in their school's climate and work in teams to design a garden. Students measure the existing space, determine the...

Young scholars explore encryption. They discuss the importance of cryptography in our daily lives. Students use games and cryptography to discover transformational geometry and modulo systems. They design their own encryption puzzles...

Second graders use a magnet to "race" objects from one side of a racing track to another. They predict what the results are, then run the race. Pupils sort and graph which items were successfully moved, they attempt to race again. This...

Students observe seeds growth and examine the different parts of the seedling. In this biology activity, students compare the growth of seeds planted in soil and in hydroponics. They record their observations in their science journal and...

Students identify characteristics of water. They describe the process by which light decreases and pressure increases as water depth increases. They demonstrate the principle of water pressure in a small group experiment.

Students become aware of the differences between ocean water and lake water by smelling, tasting and seeing. They distinguish between land and bodies of water on a globe and gain increased awareness of oceans and life.

Students observe the growth of a seed, predict what will happen when seeds are planted without soil, and conduct an experiment using a hydroponics system.

Students will use inquiry science to complete an investigation. They create hypotheses predicting the changes water undergoes in becoming ice and determine how much ice needs to be melted to create one 8 oz. glass of water.

Second graders complete a variety of bee-themed activities. They consider the importance of honeybees in food production, conduct Internet research, prepare foods using honey, complete puzzles and compile a portfolio of their work.

Fourth graders use computer drawing tools to create a house of geometric shapes.

Students engage in a lesson to find the purpose for the forests of Oregon. The role of the forest is researched according to different geographic perspectives. The information is portrayed in graphs and presented by group members to...

Learners explore the geometric and topological properties of three-dimensional objects. The lesson plan includes an overview and a lesson toolkit.

Students learn how to construct shapes and understand the properties of these shapes. The lesson plan includes an overview and a lesson toolkit.

Quadrilaterals-parallelograms, rectangles, and trapezoids-are thoroughly introduced in this lesson plan for upper elementary and middle school students. Lots of resources are linked to it to help support the teacher and students....
