Students investigate proofs used to solve geometric problems. In this geometry lesson, students read about the history behind early geometry and learn how to write proofs correctly using two columns. The define terminology valuable to...

Young scholars investigate how to design and build items with a focus on structural strength as an engineer would. They complete a truss-building project as a final assessment.

Students make observations about shapes and 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional objects. They conduct observations and make predictions regarding transformations of simple geometric shapes. They identify shapes that occur in household items.

Students create squares of different sizes on a geoboard. They find and describe a pattern. Students use the pattern to determine the number of squares possible on a 10-by-10 geoboard. They create squares with a horizontal base (and...

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

For this multiplication worksheet, 4th graders multiply 8 multiplication math problems by different multiples of 10. Students answer 3 word problems on the lines provided.

In this energy in empty space worksheet, students use an equation for Cosmic Inflation to solve eight problems. They find the domain and range of the function of the equation, they determinethe axis of symmetry, they find the critical...

Students studykinetic energy, friction, drag and acceleration by relating it to the Winter Olympics.  In this physical properties lesson plan students create tracks and determine how the course conditions affect bobsled, luge...

Students are introduced to the concept of sound and how it is presented in the world around them. Using scientific terms, they describe the properties of sound and create their own definitions of sound, music, and noise. They demonstrate...

Fourth graders break into groups having 10 come to the front and figure out the fraction of students are wearing jeans, glasses, have brown hair, etc. They write the fraction together. Each student then makes a picture and be able to...

Pupils sort shoes. In this sorting lesson, students use shoes to explore attributes and practice sorting. This lesson encourages the use of a Venn Diagram to aide in student sorting.

Students are introduced to basic aerodynamics through a discussion of thrust and drag and a hands-on activity. They examine the forces of thrust, drag, air pressure, aerodynamic shapes and Newton's Third Law Of Motion.

Students practice drawing lines of symmetry after the teacher draws shapes on the board. They create a class symme"tree" using only symmetrical shapes to decorate it.

Second graders count by 2's to get to 100. For this counting lesson plan, 2nd graders use the program Kid Pix to create stamps two at a time until they get to 100.

Fifth graders build objects using various materials. They estimate the weight of the object using individual building pieces. Then they weigh the actual object and then tear it apart and weigh the pieces. They compare the two weights.

Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

First graders explore different types of Native American shelters. For this Native American homes lesson, 1st graders compare the shapes of shelters used by Native Americans. They build a home using the program "Community Construction...

Learners construct polygons. They identify attributes of three-dimensional shapes. Students name common three-dimensional shapes. They draw three-dimensional shapes, and sort three-dimensional shapes. Learners use K'NEX materials sets to...

Students explore animals that are endangered. They choose an endangered animal that they would like to keep from becoming extinct. Students create a persuasive presentation to persuade someone to understand why they feel keeping their...

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.
