Eighth graders determine the location of specific features of the stimulated ocean floor. The features include the continental shelf, continental slope, an ocean trench, and a mid-oceaniz ridge.

Students discuss and experiment with the phases of water.  In this phases of matter lesson, students recognize the different states of matter.  Students measure and record changes and understand when the state changes.

Young scholars examine the major plant and bee parts and the interdependency between bees and fast plants. They observe and record the stages of growth of fast plants, take photos of the plant's life cycle, and cross-pollinate plants.

Students view a video that presents how viruses attack the body and how the body's immune system responds. They simulate the spread of an infectious disease and establish the identity of the original carrier.

Students practice ways to better manage their time. They keep track of their current use of time. Students prioritize and schedule events and use a daily planning calendar to schedule their time.

Young scholars investigate different geometric patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create different shapes using toothpicks. They create different patterns and designs and complete a charts using different measurements.

Students figure the best gas prices. In this math instructional activity, students add and multiply with decimals. Students complete a worksheet to find which supplier offers the best gas prices.

Students explore and analyze the relationship of buoyancy and displacement needed to make an object float. They examine various boat designs, then design and build clay and aluminum boats that hold a cargo of marbles.

Students examine tree-ring dating and discuss the lack of water the settlers in Jamestown faced. They create paper tree rings, simulate rain patterns, and describe the history of construction paper tree sequences.

Students use Geometer's Sketchpad to examine the scale factor when in is applied to the length of a figure's sides. They look at how the scale factor affects the side lengths, perimeter, and area of the figure that result. They work with...

Students solve problems using the Fibonacci Patterns. In this geometry lesson plan, students trackthe growing rate of a rabbit population. They collect the data and graph their results. They make predictions based on their results.

Students discover how the Earth's axis of rotation affects the angle of sunlight and the length of day. They take a survey and give the survey out to family members and friends. They tally their findings and then determine the correct...

Sixth graders conduct and analyze a survey that explores public perceptions about the reasons for seasonal change. They measure the changing length of days, observe shadows and discuss how the Earth's axis of rotation affects the seasons.

Students become weather reporters for the Martian Sun Times newspaper to gather. interpret, and compare current weather information for Mas and Earth. Final articles be posted on-line. There are seven investigations in this unit.

Students perform outside activities to determine the amount of insects, flowers, or common weeds within an area. They predict the number of insects they will find within their square area. Using calculators, students organize the data...

Young scholars explore percent increases and decreases. They calculate the percent increase and decrease. Students use math to solve problems and communicate. They apply the given formula for percent increase/decrease.

Learners are introduced to the concepts of probability and chance. Using data given to them, they organize and create a chart to display the information. Using this chart, they calculate the percentage of chance and probability and...

Ninth graders investigate the Cartesian coordinate plane.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders explore the coordinates of a drawing of a fish and examine the effects of moving the drawing on the ordered pairs. Students predict the...

Students analyze the bell curve and make predictions. For this statistics lesson, students calculate the percentile to the left of the curve. They then are given the percentile and create the graph from the data.

Fourth graders identify the origins of meats and vegetables consumed by humans on a daily basis. They classify foods (meats, dairy products, grains...) and create a food pyramid.

Twelfth graders discover how to calculate the total costs for a party. They determine the unit prices of food and supplies, the quantities needed, and complete a chart displaying their findings. Students calculate the costs per serving...

The student calculate area and perimeter based on the dimensions of a living room. They determine the amount of supplies needed for painting and carpeting the room. Learners create a portfolio of their information.

Students examine the effects of acid rain by performing a simulation experiment. They also view the effects of acid rain and erosion on the reservation and record observations in a science log.

Pupils discover scales for both the solar bodies' relative sizes and their distances from the sun. They find equatorial circumference and volumes of their solar bodies. Students apply estimation strategies and proportioanl reasoning to...
