Young scholars discuss the importance of examining crystals and experiment growing them. In groups, they complete a project in which they use groups in geometry just like crystallographers. They practice solving the groups and proofs...

Learners create a wheel from construction paper to use to create sentences. The wheel consists of four concentric circles, beginning with the largest being 8 inches in diameter. Each circle represents one part of a sentence. Students...

Students interview classmates and record their findings on a coordinate grid using Inspiration or Kidspiration and digital cameras. This lesson plan is technology-based and includes resource links.

Twelfth graders solve problems involving linear and angular speed. Using information about a compact disc, they solve the problem using multiple rates and conversion factors. Students also solve additional problems involving bicycle...

Fifth graders create a compass, with the help of written instructions and then write six sentences discussing how compasses work and why they are helpful. They discuss the different types of navigational tools and how they are helpful.

Students copy and practice familiar transportation vocabulary words. They write senteces using contractions for simple directions. They listen to a traffic hews report and summarize the report in their own words. They compare and...

Students work with their partners to role play giving and receiving directions to familiar and unfamiliar places. Students practice verifying directions through verbal repetition. This lesson is intended for students acquiring English.

Students compare the speed at which they write with their left hand to the speed at which they write with their right hand. The experiment serves as a vehicle to help students develop a conceptual understanding of the three different...

Young scholars investigate how to measure the speed of wind. They do this by building their own anemometers. Students calculate the air speeds while using their own projects and make observations. They conduct a mathematical discussion...

Students investigate some of the mathematical concepts involved in the study of circles. They first practice finding the circumference of a circle by finding the diameter and performing the calculation. The lesson delivery is done using...

Sixth graders develop an understanding of Christmas traditions of other countries and well as the United States. They discover the meaning of other holiday celebrations and utilize computers and other technology as an integral part of...

Students explore the features of a topographic map. They make paper models that portray, in three-dimensions, features represented by contour lines on a topographic map. Students demonstrate different elevations shown on a...

Young scholars use coordinate graphs in order to identify objects and their locations. They are shown how to plot the x and y coordinates and then are given values to be plotted during guided and independent practice. Students are...

Students solve word problems which involve graphing systems of equations. After discussing methods of solving word problems, the teacher demonstrates how to solve problems which involve graphing. They work together, at their desks, and...

Students explore the difference between drawing and constructing a triangle utilizing The Geometer's Sketchpad on the computer. They create, develop and script constructions for both isosceles and equilateral triangles. Each student has...

Students use a shoe box to create a seafloor model and use cardboard for layering inside of the shoe box to simulate the ocean floor. They probe the ocean floor to simulate sonar echoes. Finally, students graph their data to get a...

Third graders describe and compare attributes of two-dimensional shapes. They explain geometric terms, angles and shapes. Students demonstrate each vocabulary word with their body and they mirror the body positions associated with each...

Fourth graders complete activities to increase their understanding of coordinates. They listen to Julie Glass' book, The Fly on the Ceiling, before playing fly tic-tac-toe and Swat the Flies, in which they use ordered pairs to state the...

Learners define and discuss salinity, conduct classroom experiment to determine salinity of water sample by using hydrometer, record predictions, and demonstrate understanding of how salinity influences object's ability to float in water.

Students generate their own definition of documetary. They watch and discusss a series of extracts that demonstrate the breadth of the documentary form. Students create a defintion of the term documentary that takes into account the...

In this technology worksheet, students examine the definitions. The words are used in order to match the them with the bullet points.

In this math worksheet, learners practice solving systems of linear equations using the elimination and substitution methods. They also graph the solutions.

For this math worksheet, students eliminate the parameter to find a Cartesian equation of the curve given by the parametric equations.

In this math worksheet, students find the vector parametric equation and symmetric equations for the line using two coordinate points.
