Students learn how to count animal populations by the Mark and Recapture method. In this counting animal populations lesson plan, students begin by predicting amounts of different candies in a jar. Students then simulate using beans, two...

Students make a sundial. In this time lesson, students determine the time of the day by creating a sundial. They check the time on the sundial, hourly, for one week. Afterward, they explore what happened to the shadows in reference to...

Learners identify the characteristics of a bridge and build with junk materials.  In this bridge building lesson, students use cereal boxes, paper towel or toilet paper tubes and tape to create their bridges.  Bridges must...

Students design and build a balance using LEGO, string, and a set of standard metric weights.

Students practice descriptive writing. In this unique writing lesson, students hear a story about a mitten. Then three grade levels come together to first, create a mitten on KidPix; second, describe the designed mitten; and third, try...

Students simulate stars in the Milky Way Galaxy using newspaper prints. In this space science lesson, students compare the number of 'stars' on their page to familiar things. They calculate how many pages they need to have the same...

Students identify the equation to represent a circle. In this algebra lesson plan, students review properties of conics and how they are related. they use a robot to create a visual of circles and their application to the real world.

Young scholars use the Internet to answer lab questions about fractals, and then construct fractals using the initial stage and iteration rule. They complete tables and generate rules for the "nth" term and create their own fractals.

In this math test instructional activity, students complete 10 multiple choice questions covering a wide variety of math concepts. An answer link is included.

Students use a similar method to the Lincoln Index to estimate a population size.

In this simple past tense worksheet, students use words and phrases given to form positive sentences in the given tense. Answers may be submitted online for review. ESL appropriate but not exclusive.

Students examine plant systems. In this life science lesson, students explore leaf and root systems on paper in a terrarium that they design and construct.

Students connect different mathematical concepts. They create a circle graph. Students then create a question in which they collect data in order to convert fractions to decimals and decimals to percents.

Students solve problems using mathematical skills. In this math lesson, the students use math concepts, to design a virtual path for a ladybug. The students will reinforce their skills in algebra and geometry concepts.
