Fifth graders research rainforest destruction. In this geography and ecology lesson, 5th graders work as a group to research the effects of logging, farming, and mining on the rainforest. Students gather and display data and information...

Young scholars discover what the latitude and longitude of their location is. They start walking and measure their shadow. They fill in a chart to discover the approximate time.

Students read a textbook about aerodynamics. They find out the definition of Mach number. They complete problems designed to demonstrate their ability to solve Mach number equations.

Students examine how left-handed people function in a right-handed world using a web resource. They interview left-handed people to further understand the issue. They share the results of the interview with the whole class.

Students investigate various careers in the field of oceanography. They conduct Internet research, record data on a spreadsheet, write a justification to explain why someone should accept a position found online, and write a letter to a...
