Learners experiment with simple pendulums to determine the validity of an equation for all angles. Students discover the usefulnes and limitations of approximations in science. Using spreadhseets and a java applet, learners observe the...

Students choose a math fact or number sentence to illustrate. They then use KidPix to illustrate a story problem for the math fact or number sentence using pictures, stamps, numbers, and symbols.

Students conduct an 8 hour Annual Summit Meeting on the Cultural and Biological Diversity of a Latin American Country. They construct a Rainforest, coffee and banana plantations, and a street scene of a typical large city.

Students use comparisons, graphing, patterning, and sorting, and develop language skills as they explore the five senses.

Students explore the relationship between velocity and pressure of a fluid. After a lecture/demo, students engage in an experiment which demonstrate the Bernoulli Effect and enhance their understanding.

Young scholars participate in physical activities coordinating to divisions on a map.

Pupils create a set that captures the essence or feeling of a public space.

Students draw a colored feather out of a turkey made from a bag and colorful paper feathers. Each color feather corresponds to a different exercise that students must perform.

Students use the concepts in statistics to make decisions. They calculate the mean, median and mode. They compare one firefighter against another and analyze the data. They share their information with the class.

Pupils explain the processes involved in the cleansing and purifying of surface water. After a lecture/demo, students engage in an experiment that illustrates how water is cleansed before we drink it.

Students test their knowledge of the Wright Brothers and their aircraft, and compute ratio of two numbers to determine the ratio between wing span and length of aircraft.

First graders experience addition through the exploration of a virtual pond. They categorize the various plants around the pond, count the number of various types of plants on the pond shore, and calculate the number of shrubs.

Seventh graders study a SouthEast Asian language and culture. They say, translate, and interpret three Asian proverbs and complete a discussion worksheet about what they experienced.

Students use a given spreadsheet to investigate an iterative process by changing the variables. They design their own spreadsheet to investigate the iterative process.

Students investigate the concepts that are related to finance and how it is used in the world. They take part in activities that are focused around the use of a spreadsheet while using a T-chart to simulate a ledger of credits and debits.

Students create a trail with numbered specimens. Students complete an accurate and functional interactive trail activity brochure. They complete a web page tree identification guide and interactive identification activity. Students...

Second graders work in groups to bury a variety of trash items and arrange them in a mini-landfill. They predict which items will biodegrade and then keep records of what the items look like every ten days. Students consider how...

Students investigate the reasons for taking a census and determine the problems that are involved in the process. They examine the population figure for Montana and Lake county before using the information to complete the included...

Students investigate the sense of touch as they examine the texture of items in the classroom and from their homes. They watch a computer based video about the senses and draw items that are rough, smooth, soft, and hard.

Learners expand their knowledge of quadrilaterals and identify basic symmetrical forms. Over three weeks, they explore the math, application, and discussion of symmetry. After conducting Internet research, students create symmetrical...

Students identify and define several movements physically acted out. They participate in a freeze activity in which they line up performing different movements. For example, they line up (1) if they are doing a strength exercise, (2)...

Pupils examine the population of aphids. They identify adaptations they have made for their environment. They make predictions, test their hypothesis and collect information that either proves or disproves their theory.

Students often classify objects by size and shape. Now they will look more at the properties of objects such as hardness, flexibility, and texture. Included in this lesson plan are examples of student's science journal entries, a video...
