Students simulate the spread of a fictitious disease using an internet-based simulation. In this biology lesson, students predict the factors that could affect epidemic. They investigate these prediction using computer simulation.

Students examine and discuss a sculpture by the artist Jin Soo Kim. They explore and identify basic sculpture techniques, and create a sculpture using found objects, plaster, and cardboard.

Students create projects on Astronomy using math concepts and use of Internet resources.

Pupils explore finding the surface area and volume of cubes and cylinders. They construct similar three-dimensional figures from a two-dimensional drawing. Students derive the formula for volume and surface area through examination of...

Seventh graders investigate the area and volume of 2D and 3D figures. In this geometry instructional activity, 7th graders create a storyboard explaining their knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes. They analyze their data and interpret...

What is a ratio? How can we create equivalent ratios? Students work to express and extend relationships using ratios.

Seventh graders use ratio cards to find equivalencies and form partnerships for the week. As a class, 7th graders discuss and decide on classroom norms. Give each student a ratio card. Instruct students to find a classmate whose card has...
