Students identify the two-dimensional geometric shapes Lowrey utilized in the painting Untitled. Students compare the two-dimensional shapes in terms of equivalent fractions, congruency, symmetry and asymmetry. Students create their own...

Students explore the specific areas of the brain that process different types of information. They examine processing conflicts. Students participate in a hands-on minds-on activity using the Stroop Effect. They design psychological...

Students analyze and solve linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students solve inequalities using the slope and y intercept. They rewrite word problems into algebraic equations and solve for the unknown.

Learners study how to graph ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. After a teacher demonstration, students work together to complete problems. They explain and share their answers. As an activity, they solve a mystery story about the...

In this motion worksheet, students write 2 or 3 techniques for showing motion in cartoons. Students also draw 3 cartoon panels of 2 automobiles on a highway, one moving at a constant speed and the other one accelerating.

Learners construct a dichotomous key using 10 shoes from students in the classroom. In this dichotomous key lesson plan, learners use the chalk board and their pile of 10 shoes to create a dichotomous key. They divide the shoes into 2...

Sometimes graphing rational functions can feel a little "irrational." Starting with the basics, learners work their way through the pieces of these graphs and finish off with an application question. 

Students study the parts and functions of the human eye. They create dodecagons which are twelve-sided figures with twelve equal angles and share these with the class so that each student can begin to see how many different illusions can...

Students investigate the characteristics of eggs by playing and experimenting with them.

Learners discuss human behavior, sexual selection and the underlying genetic and evolutionary reasons for mate selection. The, in groups, they rate the attractiveness of certain individuals and measure facial features for symmetry.
