Middle schoolers explore the concept of core democratic values. After completing a survey of student populations regarding bullying, small groups analyze their findings and present their findings to the Student Council, principal,...

Students experiment and analyze triangulation to assess degrees of combined angles, predict polygons that tessellate as well as extending of shapes to create tessellations. They explore the concept of why some polygons tessellate when...

Students investigate the concept of tessellations and how they are formed using angles. They categorize how different patterns do and not tessellate and separate them into two different places for assessment. The teacher draws examples...

Students identify how we use water everyday. They determine the amount of water used in different activities. They finally explain why the water supply is limited and how we can conserve water.

Students work together to discover the concept of echolocation. They examine dolphins and their behaviors. They discuss how humans could use this information to help them in their everyday lives as well.

Scholars show what they know about data collection and analysis with an activity that examines a smaller population of Houghton, Texas. Independently or in pairs, learners identify their research question, gather, graph, and analyze...

Young scholars solve the problem that comes up in the story. They realize the explosive growth of the powers of 2.

Students explore probability through cooperative group activities and interactive video technique.

Second graders solve number sentences and examine how to apply basic operations of mathematics to those problems. They also use symbols to represent unknown numbers and how they are used in equations.

Students sing a song during group time each day to learn the names of the days of the week. They learn the song lyrics and sing them often.

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