Students discover their learning styles. In this language arts lesson, students read about the various learning styles. Students determine their learning style and discuss how they can use this knowledge.

Ninth graders investigate the application of populations that exists in one's everyday environment, in order to develop an understanding of how mathematics is a key component in the understanding of population dynamics.

Learners develop and apply a variety of strategies to solve problems, with an emphasis on multi-step and non-routine problems. They acquire confidence in using mathematics meaningfully.

First graders explore counting and classification. They sort leaves, create graphs, write sentences for the data in the graphs, develop graphs for shapes, favorite animals, birthdays, and participate in a die prediction game.

Seventh graders examine and evaluate different perspectives of human and wolf interactions. They develop a conclusion based on research through the use of electronic resources.

Young scholars use films to identify the characteristics of a good parent. In groups, they research the different types of parenting methods used during colonial times, the Civil War and the Civil Rights movement. As a class, they...

Middle schoolers are introduced to the nine planets and countless moons of the solar system. Using the internet, they research one of the planets to determine if a manned mission to the planet would be possible. They share their...

Twelfth graders brainstorm where they think wild things exist. Then using the same strategy they discuss natural surroundings from using prior life experience. This part of the lesson can also be done with using a nature hike. Students...

Fourth graders explore fractions. They compare different fractions using fraction bars. Students find equivalent fractions and they use fraction bars to visualize addition of fractions.

High schoolers study the effects of different salients and temperatures on vertical movement of an organism.  For this experimental lesson students design different shapes of foil to simulate drifting planktonic organisms.

Students explore earthquakes. In this earthquake lesson, students research earthquakes and identify where they take place. Students use map skills to track down earthquake locations. There are internet sites suggested in this lesson.

Students consider the best place to plant a tree. In this environment lesson, students identify urban locations that are compatible with particular tree types. Students decide what trees would go where and why they would survive.

Students explore the concept of fractals. In this fractals lesson, students play the "Chaos Game" via an applet. Students place dots on the screen to recognize that they have created Sierpinski's Triangle.

Young scholars explore the concept of fractals. In this fractals lesson plan, students discuss Sierpinski's Triangle using an applet. Young scholars discuss the patterns involved with fractals. Students discuss the area of Sierpinski's...

Learners read a collection of student essays addressing racism and racial disparities and discuss them. In this racism lesson plan, students discuss the essays and talk about their impact.

Students evaluate the friction of tennis sneakers and redesign them to increase friction. In this physics lesson, students calculate starting, sideways and forward stopping friction. Using quantitative data, they prove that redesigning...

Eighth graders examine the cultural conflicts that occurred when Europeans moved into the land the Native Americans lived on that would become West Virginia. In this West Virginia history lesson, 8th graders visit the state history...

Students examine parallax and angular measurements.  In this investigative lesson plan students calculate distances of objects and map their results.

Fourth graders make necklaces out of petroglyphs that they stamp into clay. In this petroglyphs lesson plan, 4th graders draw designs and explain where they come from as well.

Students estimate and calculate the distance of a shape. In this algebra activity, students differentiate between a horizontal distance and it's reflected image. They measure the reflection and the point starting at the eye of the observer.

Students determine the exact relationship between the height from which a ball is dropped and the distance that it rebounds.

Students develop an equation for finding the volume of a commonly known piece of candy (M&M, Hershey's Kiss, Tootsie Roll Pop, Life Saver, etc.) by using calculus.

Fifth graders study English reading and writing skills as they participate in exciting interdisciplinary hands-on activities using a basal reading series.

Middle schoolers research a country using the Travel Languages Web site. Using MS Publisher, they create a travel flyer about the country. Using Inspiration, they develop a concept map of what they learned about their country.
