Students read a current science article. They write a summary of the article, take notes, write and edit a summary, and print their work.

Students define probability, and predict, record, and discuss outcomes from a random drawing, then identify most likely and least likely outcomes. They conduct a random drawing, record the data on a data chart, analyze the data, and...

Students compute the slope of a line based on the coordinates of two points on the line. In addition, they examine the relationship between the numerical value of slope and its properties on a graph.

Students explore the concept of ellipses including finding the center, vertices's, foci and eccentricity. They assess how to graph elliptical functions and solve application problems involving ellipses. This assignment is to be completed...

Pupils find the center, vertices, foci, and eccentricity of ellipses using the subscriptions website www.explorelearning.com. They graph elliptical functions and solve application problems involving ellipses.

Young scholars research the damage to the environment by certain plant species. They create an experimental design which they test how these species take over certain habitats. They share their information with the class.

Students investigate mixtures made of water and familiar solid materials. They observe and discuss the changes that occur immediately and set the mixtures aside for a day. Finally, students observe the mixtures, note changes, and graph...

Students examine the dust in their classroom and relate it to the dust in space.  In this investigative lesson plan students collect dust and graph their findings.

Eighth graders discuss perimeter by relating it to the path they would take while walking their dog around a park. They find the perimeter of regular polygons and one irregular polygon. Students use graph paper to draw their own examples...

Students work to complete various algebraic equations using different methods. Given a word problem, students create a poster identifying the various parts of the equation as well as the solution to the problem. Posters are presented...

Pupils use maps and globes to locate and describe locations, directions and scale. Using the maps, they identify man made or natural features of different environments. They practice using geographical terms to describe a specific...

Learners factor trinomials using patterns and their TI to graph their results and make predictions through this lesson. This is accomplished by solving quadratic equations through FOIL and algebra tiles.

Pupils explore motions, forces and magnetism. They investigate magnetism as a force and examine the construction of a magnet. Students examine the force that magnetism produces.

Eighth graders practice calculating the perimeter of different shapes. As a class, they work together to calculate the area of rectangles and triangles using the proper formula. To end the lesson, they determine how many feet are in a...

Third graders listen to a teacher led lecture about species living in different parts of the world. They study how the species spread to different parts of the world and examine the concept of dispersal. As a class, 3rd graders...

Seventh graders recognize and solve functions. To reinforce the solving of word problems, 7th graders play a guessing game where they try to identify the functions used. They complete worksheets and draw graphs to match the problem in...

Students see pictures and learn vocabulary of basic computer hardware and software. In this computers lesson plan, students are shown pictures of a screen, mouse, keyboard, and other computer parts that they should know and fill out a...

Students investigate circles and compound locus. In this geometry lesson, students identify the distance from a point to a line. They use Cabri software to create lines and circles.

Students explore the evolution of time measurement, and explain the relationship of sunrise/sunset to length of daylight. They collect data and calculations to determine length of daylight during a given day.

In this earth science worksheet, young scholars complete a series of multiple-choice and short-answer questions on solar radiation, temperature, porosity, and rock formations.

Students import ocean bathymetry data from text files. They then graph these observations along with model predictions to assess the model's ability to simulate observed topographic features of the North Atlantic. Students use Excel to...

Students import ocean bathymetry data form either the topex web site or text files. They then graph these observations along with model predictions to assess the model's ability to sumulate the observed topographic features of the North...

Students import US Historical Climate Network mean temperature data into Excel from a station of their choice. They are guided through the activity on how to use Excel for statistical calculations, graphing, and linear trend estimates.
