Young scholars see circles in real life and have fun with them

Students represent algebraic patterns in various ways.

Students complete a variety of bear-related activities. They sort and graph teddy bears, distinguish between real and non-real bears and research bear life cycles and habitats.

Middle schoolers make a rocket out of paper. They follow the given instructions and test to see if it will fly. They write about the experiment and are given the opportunity to change their varibles to make their rocket work.

Students assume the role of a scientist hired by the North Carolina Pork Council to mediate legislative reform and farming needs. Students work with the research group to design a more efficient yet cost effective hog lagoon. Designs...

Students study the sense of touch and various degrees of heat. They design a model that displays how the human hand reacts to heat using a touch sensor.

Fourth graders participate in a lesson that explores probability. They use candy and model cubes to experiment with different outcomes that can be charted if the students can proceed to the objective of the lesson. They discover how...

Third graders use a number of problem solving strategies in this unit of lessons. They determine how to draw and model three-dimensional objects, use co-ordinate systems, determine probability of events, and identify paths of simple...

Learners use pattern blocks and triangular grid paper to review shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked: "Have you ever seen a floor or a wall...

Students review the days of the week and tell what the current day is by singing a song. They fill in the sentence telling the day of the week it is and then discuss what day yesterday was and the name of the day tomorrow and then talk...
