Third graders view a demonstration of a teeter totter as a basis for assessing pre-knowledge of a lever. They create a KwL chart. Students work in small groups to conduct a variety of experiments. The first requires students to tie books...

Students describe the five senses. They perform an investigation using sensory organs associated with each of the senses. Students identify, describe and extend repeating relationship (pattern) found in common, objects, sounds and...

Students explore coffee production.  In this cross-curriculum rainforest ecology lesson, students research regions where coffee comes from and investigate how the native birds in the rainforest are effected by coffee...

Pupils model quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students are given data to graph using a function. They investigate vertex and transformation of quadratic functions.  

Students identify the ratios of trig identities. In this geometry lesson, students solve the missing sides and angles of triangles using trig ratios. They relate the graphs and waves to real life scenarios.

Students identify the different systems of equations. In this algebra lesson, students solve systems of equations using graphing, elimination and substitution. They use the Ti to graph their systems.

In this polynomial worksheet, students explore functions, determine the least square error, and explore quadratic spline interpolation. This two-page worksheet contains approximately six problems.

Students investigate quadratics through word problems. In this algebra lesson, students models the number of registered males in apprenticeship programs. They investigate the transformation of quadratic function on a coordinate plane.

Students work with a set of objects to set up both quantitative and qualitative classification systems. As a group, students follow an example to design and complete two classification systems using a set of objects provided. ...

Learners discuss the relationship between a habitat and the environment. In groups, they use the internet to research the relationship between the animals and the habitat on their card. They present their information to the class to...

Students track and record data on the Sun's position in the sky and on the output of a solar panel tracking the Sun. On a second day, students graph and analyze the data to identify relationships between (1) the time of day, (2) the...

Learners observe a jar of pond water and predict how much life they think exists in the jar and watch a "Bill Nye: The Science Guy" video regarding protists. They participate in an online virtual pond dip where they begin to familiarize...

Pupils share with the class how they think plants are classified and are assessed on their prior knowledge. They use a packet to complete throughout the week at their own pace, which includes various activities to familiarize themselves...

Students examine wetlands and what the effects of destroying them will do.  In this wetland lesson students relate the importance of wetland functions to their own needs. 

Students create a domino course to represent different human body systems. They discover the systems relationship to each other and their functions. They answer questions to complete the lesson.

Students will identify cause and effect relationships in issues relating to Agriculture and the environment.Ask students to describe what farmers do. Then ask students to define the word "environmentalist." Ask students if they have...

Students collect data for a bouncing ball and select one bounce to analyze. They explore the relationship between velocity, position and acceleration. They seek out connections between the graphs and the physical motion of the ball.

Students examine a web page on food webs and select a habitat to research.  In this research lesson students identify the organisms found in the food web and present their findings to the class.

Students calculate the measurement of a central angle. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of circles. They use Cabri software to create and analyze graphs.

Students use Biology Workbench to explore DNA sequence data for the GULOP gene in humans, chimpanzees, orangutans, and crab-eating macaques and the beta globin gene and its pseduogene in humans, gorillas, and chimpanzees.

Pupils build and program a Lego Mindstorms Roverbot to travel for a given amount of time. They gather data on time versus distance traveled to determine a calibration constant for their robot, which relates time to distance.

Students explore codes, decode secret messages, and create codes of their own to use with their friends. They examine the use of gestures, letters, symbols and numbers in codes.

High schoolers 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.

Students explore the motivations and consequences of seeking attention, including sexual attention from peers, by interpreting segments of "The Lost Children of Rockdale County" video. They conduct further research on the Internet and...
