Sixth graders examine and investigate the solar system. They participate in a Webquest, and create a Powerpoint presentation that is meant to be a research guide to help alien visitors find a suitable habitat in the solar system.

Pupils complete a variety of activities in their study of Chinese culture. They explore the Chinese New Year, zodiac, calligraphy, dragon kites, lanterns, games, and songs among others.

Learners observe water samples and measure the samples' water quality. Learners develop their own criteria for measuring water quality and test for temperature, acidity, oxygen levels, turbidity, conductance, sediment and hardness.

Eighth graders review their understanding about numbers and number systems through playing the Number Game. They create a list of numbers and based upon the characteristics and properties of the numbers they will earn points.

Second graders use physical models to represent and demonstrate place value concepts by using base-ten blocks and hundreds charts. They compare numbers to see which number is smaller or larger and put numbers in order from smallest to...

Sixth graders explore the relationship between area and perimeter. After discovering the definition of perimeter, 6th graders work together to create designs for a flower bed. They observe that the perimeter remains constant even...

Tenth graders apply their knowledge of angles related to a circle, radii, secants, tangents and chords of a circle. They practice using formulas related to a circle. They also apply what has been practiced to real life situations.

Seventh graders are introduced to the concept of box-and-whisker plots. A step-by-step process for creating a box-and-whisker plot is provided. The goal of the lesson is that students study the components of a box-and-whisker plot and be...

Sixth graders need to see the relevance in the mathematics they learn. This lesson plan builds on the concepts of least common multiple and greatest common factor. The lesson plan presents real-world problem situations for students to...

Fifth graders explore ratios. Using models and real-world scenarios, they complete tables and generate comparisons. Pupils demonstrate multiple ways of writing ratios and describe the differences between ratios.

Eleventh graders recognize some, but not all ethical processes (e.g., independent verification, clarifying assumptions, disclosing conflicts of interest) that shape scientific endeavors. Students build awareness of how various sources...

Students build three types of towers, engineering them to hold an egg one foot high for 15 seconds. They discover that engineering designs are subject to constraints such as time, money and size specifications. In this activity students...

Students measure their classroom and determine the area. They discuss the margin of error. Each class member will write up their results separately. Students must decide what measurements to make, and attempt to measure accurately.

Eighth graders measure temperature changes and make drawings of the interactions between matter and energy. By measuring the temperature students can conclude if there are changes in levels of energy. .

Students analyze North Korea's history and their nuclear weapons development. They view a Power Point and work in groups to prepare official United Nations resolutions. After presenting and voting upon the final resolutions, they write a...

Students use a graphic organizer create a character sketch of Trout Walker from the novel Holes. Using the provided worksheet, students fill in the important character traits of Trout. Worksheet and answer key are provided with the lesson.

For this chemistry worksheet, students engage in this activity that is focused upon the concept of a reagent. The questions are then answered by the students for review.

In this estimation and approximation instructional activity, students determine the estimated value of given multiplication and division problems containing decimals. They round answers to the nearest whole number. This two-page...

In this math learning exercise, students review integrating factors for linear equations. Then they read about the definition and solving of homogeneous equations.

In this math worksheet, students examine the coupled differential equations. Then they find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the 2x2 matrix.

In this matrix worksheet, students find the column space and nullspace of a matrix. They give examples of vectors. This two-page worksheet contains four problems.

In this math instructional activity, students review the concepts needed for quiz 4. Then they practice finding the answers to the linear systems using elimination.

In this math worksheet, students examine the operations of vectors and matrices. Then they use the operations to compare the vectors that are parallel and perpendicular.
