Students compare and organize different fractions. In this fraction lesson, students use wax paper divided into squares to represent fractions. Students put them in different orders based on their value to complete their mathematics...

In this fractions worksheet, students decide which number statement is true or not true. Students complete 5 problems and then draw the subtraction fraction problem that is true.

In this fraction worksheet, students take a pre-test about what they may already know pertaining to subtraction with fractions.   Students respond to 8 multiple choice questions and self check answers with this online...

Students explore the relative sizes of the Sun, Earth and Moon as they make an impressive large-scale model for classroom use throughout the unit.

Fifth graders explore the multiplication of fractions. Using paper folds, 5th graders observe multiplying by a fraction. They extrapolate multiplication problems from studying a written graphic.

Middle schoolers explore number sense by completing a number set worksheet. In this fractions instructional activity, students utilize pattern blocks as a visual reference to the fractions they practice identifying. Middle schoolers read...

Learners make models of sedimentary rock layers to explain how rocks form layers and represent ancient environments. Layers of sediment and fossils are added together to simulate the environment and connections to sedimentary rocks are...

Students investigate the concept of the solar system in our universe by constructing a model that is made to a measurable scale. Once the model is constructed it should be placed in a wide open space for observation and demonstration...

Pupils study the location of Earth's water and study the water cycle using a terrarium. In this water study lesson, students study a model globe for the Earth and find Alaska. Pupils locate the bodies of water and study an overhead for...

Fourth graders create a model of Utah wetlands using clay, sponges and soil. They identify the value the wetlands have to plants and animals. They simulate rainfall to observe how wetlands help filter silt and pollutants from the water.

Students construct and test balloon rockets and a model rocket. In this rocket science lesson, students use an inquiry-based method to master balloon rockets and have a shoot-off with the goal of attaining the highest altitude. Next,...

Young scholars explore water. In this water cycle lesson, students conduct a scientific investigation that requires build a terrarium models of the earth. Young scholars record their observations of the changes regarding water in...

Third graders create a model of the moon and use a flashlight to illustrate the various stages of the moon.

Students investigate Newton's Laws of Motion and the Law of Conservation of Energy. They examine how a ball and half-ball behave and relate these laws to what happens to the ball. Students produce a graph of the data collected and...

Students create a model of the phases of the Moon by giving students pictures of the phases of the Moon, a picture of the Earth, and a picture of the Sun. They then take a picture, and stand in correct place to make the phases of the...

Young scholars generate a radioactive decay table for an imaginary element, use their data to plot a decay graph, develop the concept of half-life, and use the graph to "age" several samples.

Seventh graders practice dividing fractions. As a class, 7th graders review multiplication problems and then use a model for dividing whole numbers to discover how to divide fractions. After exploration, the teacher demonstrates the...

In this number statement worksheet, students draw fraction strips to model number statements to determine whether they are true. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.

Learners create a creature using Amaco cloud clay. In this sculpting lesson, students use clay, toothpicks, and clay modeling tools to create a unique clay creature. Learners shape the clay into a four-legged animal.

Students classify the planets in the solar system, study planetary objects, and measure the relative distance between planets. In this solar system lesson plan, students use toilet paper to complete a scale model of the distance between...

For this problem solving worksheet, students solve a total of 7 equations, drawing models and using algorithm. A reference web site for additional activities is given.

Fifth graders explore ratios. Using models and real-world scenarios, they complete tables and generate comparisons. Pupils demonstrate multiple ways of writing ratios and describe the differences between ratios.

Seventh graders study equivalent fractions. They explore equivalent fractions in a story problem. After a discussion of strategies, 7th graders determine how to compare and simplify fractions. To reinforce the class discussion,...

Students interpret a rock core sample from a clay model. In small groups, they layer modeling clay in a plastic container using coarse-grained spices sprinkled in to represent fossils. They switch containers with another group and remove...
