Students identify nonstandard units of measurement and investigate area of objects. In this geometry lesson, students trace their hands and glue cereal pieces to the print to find the area.

In this plasmasphere worksheet, students read about the dilute region of gases 10,000 kilometers above the Earth where atoms are ionized. Students use a photograph taken by the IMAGE EUV instrument to answer 3 questions about the...

In this mollusks learning exercise, students color several figures and label them with the correct parts. They complete 14 short answer questions related to mollusks.

Students explore space science by completing a worksheet in class. For this astronomy lesson, students discuss and identify star patterns in the night sky and relate these patterns to the approximate time they appear. Students complete...

Fifth graders use the activities provided on a web site to calculate the area of an object.

Students determine the center of percussion and the center of mass for a baseball bat.  In this projective motion instructional activity students demonstrate the relationship between the position of the baseball bat and when its in...

Students manipulate a variety of materials and computer applets in order to explore area and the units used to measure it.

In the allegory worksheet students analyze Paulo Coelho's novel, The Alchemist. Students analyze allegorical elements by answering guided questions.

Fifth graders define density as the amount of mass per volume a material contains, compare the densities of several types of materials, especially those that sink in water compared to those that float. They use two different methods to...

Students discover that sunspots are the result of intense magnetic forces on the photosphere of the sun by observing images from the SOHO satellite.

Fifth graders determine that carbon dioxide is a gas given off during respiration and that oxygent is the gas that is absorbed during respiration. They determine the air capacity of the lungs.

Students identify Ancient Egypt as the origin of the idea that moral worth as the key to eternal life. In this Ancient Egypt lesson, students discuss immorality or eternal life. Students then work the Osiris puzzle and discuss the legend...

Students compute the area of triangles in a computer program. In this measurement lesson plan, students complete 5 easy, 5 medium, and 5 hard problems.

Sixth grade students: design a stained glass window, submitting their initial plan detailing the measurements of all lines and angles. Seventh grade students: create a scale drawing of their own geometric family of four members.

Eighth graders take a quiz to review the different objects in space. As a class, they define terms related to galaxies. In groups, they make a model of the Milky Way galaxy using materials provided to them by their teacher. To end the...

Learners investigate how to draw and classify two and three dimensional figures (squares, triangles, rectangles.)

In this galaxies worksheet, high schoolers review 12 terms associated with the Milky Way and galaxies in general. Students fill in the blank of 12 statements.

Third graders participate in a game in order to review geometric concepts.

Students use scientific measuring tools to collect and use scientific data. They determine the density of four different objects by using their data to explain why objects have similar/different densities even though they are both made...

Students identify the different types of fractals. In this geometry lesson, students use math to analyze different biological phenomena. They collect data from the experiments and construct graphs.

Students are shown that numeracy is all around them. They use volume, and calculate the quantity of soil required to make a garden to given instructions. Students are asked how to calculate the amount of soil required for the garden.

Students investigate the concept of tessellations and how they are formed using angles. They categorize how different patterns do and not tessellate and separate them into two different places for assessment. The teacher draws examples...

Learners examine where pearls come from and where mollusks are found. They discover how pearls are formed in nature and how they are they made by humans. They use ordinary oyster shells to examine mother of pearl.

Students map an actual local waterway. They create full color scale drawings that include windfalls, plant cover, streambed composition, and landmarks such as trees, boulders, and slumps. This is a long-term project that involves...
