Young scholars explore the oceans from their origin. In this oceans lesson, students read and discuss excerpts from the Book of Genesis regarding the creation of the ocean. Young scholars then clean up a mock oil spill, measure the...

Humans have been developing number systems for thousands of years, and while they can be very different from one another, they can also share surprising similarities. Take your young mathematicians on a journey through the history...

In this geometry worksheet, students define important vocabulary dealing with circles. They measure cricles to the nearest degree. There are 11 word problems to be solved.

Several real-world problems are posed as a way to learn about vector fields in order to make some predictions after analyzing the data. The main problem comes from the tv show NUMB3RS and is based on solving a crime where a body has...

Learners explore the expanding universe.  In this science lesson, students use balloons to model the expansion of the universe. Learners take measurements of the balloon expansion and answer questions directed to develop their...

Auntie Litter is here to educate young scholars about water pollution and environmental stewardship! Although the 15-minute video clip is cheesy, it's an engaging look at the water cycle and conservation. Learners start by illustrating...

Young scholars use tables of fish collection data to draw conclusions about where fish live in the Hudson Estuary. Given available data they interpret organized observations and measurements and recognize simple patterns, sequences, and...

Students explore fieldwork.  In this seventh or eighth grade mathematics lesson, students watch a video on data collection in the field.  Students use fieldwork to gather data about their school environment. ...

The class explores a real-world application in which the data represents rental prices of beach condos. They problem solve by multiplying matrices to determine the cost of each property in each season. Several scenarios are presented in...

Geometric transformations are explored by high schoolers. They will create a set of instructions for plotting coordinates representing an original transformation of a real-world figure. These instructions are shared with middle...

Students explore circles.  In this geometry lesson, students explore the relationship between the circumference of a circle, the distance a ball travels, and the number of rotations the ball must make in order to travel a certain...

Students graph data of sea turtles hatching rates from Watamu/Malindi Marine National Park and Reserve in Kenya.  In this math lesson plan, students use real life science data to calculate mean and median values. Students...

First graders develop problem-solving skills by designing methods for keeping lunch boxes cool. Once they determine the amount of sunlight and heat generated in shaded and unshaded areas, they explore ways to provide shade. Finally, 1st...

Do you have financial goals? How will you make them happen? Help your pupils answer these questions through this interactive project. They create goals and a plan for reaching them as one of many high school algebra projects.

Students analyze data to make hypotheses and conclusions regarding the predator/prey relationship between moon snail and surf clams.

Students explore water properties by conducting a class experiment. In this buoyancy lesson, students make predictions as to whether or not specific objects will sink or float in water. Students conduct the experiment and record their...

First graders measure weight and capacity. In this measurement lesson, 1st graders explore visual examples of weight and capacity comparisons. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Students explore recognizing, counting and sequencing numbers 1-10. In this primary math introduction lesson, students participate in 6 computer sessions that integrate short films, music and drawing in order to bring beginning math...

Students explore problem solving strategies.  In this middle school mathematics lesson, students investigate the guess and test and make a table problem solving strategies.  Students work in pairs to apply the problem solving...

Students explore ocean biology by capturing organisms on a beach. In this clam collecting lesson, students identify the clam species and discuss the anatomy of a clam as well as the importance they provide as a meal. Students utilize a...

Students explore predator/prey relationships. They research information on moon snails and claims. Students draw conclusions from the data collected. They use math and graphing to determine if there is a relationship to the clam's size...
