Students study the effects of dietary supplements on bodily functions.  In this health lesson students calculate their caloric needs and research dietary supplements. 

Students discover about the form and function of traditional musical instruments, then use this knowledge to create non-traditional instruments that replicate the sounds of traditional instruments. They use vegetables to create their...

Students consider that under certain conditions in nature tend to remain the same or move toward a balance. They observe populations and determine the functions (e.g., de-composers, producers, consumers) they serve in an ecosystem. They...

Studetns use a spreadsheet to organize data on the sides of a triangle. They use the Pythagorean Theorem and the If then spreadsheet function to decide whether the three sides determine a right triangle. Students work individual...

Pupils relate real life situation to the equations, graphs and inequalities. They model real life scenarios using matrices and draw conclusions from their data. This lesson plan is aligned with FCAT.

Learn how to investigate matrix multiplication.  In this secondary mathematics lesson, learners examine matrix multiplication in the context of a Homes-Rahe stress test which is similar to the process used to score figure...

Students identify positive and negative angles using the Unit Circle. In this pre-calculus lesson, students identify the different angles on a unit circle using the coordinate plane and the four different quadrants as a guide. They...

High schoolers explore the pattern created by a sequence or series. In this geometry lesson, students relate the spread of a virus to the growth of exponential functions. They collect data as they analyze the sequence created by the growth.

Learners relate polynomials to a rollercoaster track as they translate a graph around on a coordinate plane. They differentiate between different forms of algebraic expressions.

Learners explore the human brain and nervous system. In this brain awareness instructional activity, students examine specific terms with regards to the human brain. Learners discover the brain's structure and function and how it...

Students explore how the five human senses function. They work in small groups, each group focusing on a specific sense. Each group then creates a 'Sensing the World' poster which combines all of the information gained through in-class...

Students study that the human body is made up of different systems whose functions are related. They draw and label their traced body outlines which include at least five body systems.

Students explore the reaction rates of an enzyme-mediated reaction through experimentation. In small groups, they use everyday objects to demonstrate the effects of environmental variables on enzyme function. Students graph and...

Students examine the molecular studies of organisms that have led to a new era in their understanding of speciation and evolutionary relationships. Students study the allelic frequency of genes controlling specific molecules and assess...

Students study the human digestive system in order for the students to relate common kitchen items to the function of specific digestive organs. They list major organs on one side and find the item or appliance most analogous to the...

Ninth graders participate in talking circles about how their classroom will function. In this self-governance instructional activity, 9th graders participate in talking circle activities to create rules that will govern their class....

Students solve problems by identifying exponential growth and decay and differentiating between patterns, relation and functions. In this algebra lesson, students apply concepts of exponential growth to solve problems.

Students study the concepts of polymerization and the function of crosslinkage.  In this polymer lesson students complete a lab activity and write down their observations. 

Middle schoolers, with an emphasis on problem solving, students given a patient with some background information and symptoms. It is up to a pair of middle schoolers to diagnose their patient and then inform the relatives of the patient...

Students observe, compare and describe cell organelles in terms of their function, structure and operation. They enter and edit information in a database, build and sort a student-designed database and find records in a database.

Students participate in a "hands-on" activity, to explain that African masks were and are more than aesthetic artifacts, they are functional implements of the many cultures of the African continent.

Students research structure, function and primary responsibilities of each office of the Executive branch, create a chart displaying their research.

Students build anatomically correct dragonflies of polymer clay, use vocabulary for body parts, and define the function of the body parts as adaptations for survival.

Fifth graders inspect the basic functions of the immune system and determine how viruses and bacteria invade the immune system. They also explore what happens to the immune system in outer space.
