The difference between accuracy and precision is fundamental for high school science learners. Using test kits for nitrate concentration in water, they compare readings with each other. They consider the accuracy, precision, and bias of...

Use this worksheet with the Hands-On Equations kit of manipulatives. Learners find the value of x in 5 equations, then check their answers. A great addition to your math lesson!

Pupils explore ecology and biodiversty. They use the wet-mount procedure to make several slides to view using the microscope and draw what they see.

For this angle worksheet, students match given terms to a picture that describes the term. Vertical angles, parallel lines, supplementary angles, adjacent angles, right angles are samples of the 20 listed terms. This one-page worksheet...

Symmetry, line, shape, art, and math are all connected through a fun hands-on craft. Included are instructions to a classic activity, where learners create butterflies to show symmetry in nature and then discuss symmetry in math. It is...

Explore the world of textured landscapes through the eyes of the famous artist, Grant Wood. Here is an elementary art lesson in which scholars learn about Grant Wood's life, view his work, draw their own textured landscape, and then...

Historical facts and some diagrams about the structure of a kite are given in this PowerPoint.  Interesting facts lead to the goal of individuals or groups designing and building their own kite. With this in mind, it might be useful...

Have your class use the engineering design process to program a vacuum robot. Using computer engineering concepts, teams program an automatic floor cleaner to traverse designated patterns. 

Scholars build robotic arms that swing back and forth and use them to collect velocity and acceleration data. To analyze the results, pupils compare data to the equations for angular velocity and centripetal acceleration.

How accurate are robots? Groups draw lines by moving robots backwards and forwards by one rotation of the wheels. Using the appropriate formula, they determine the percent error in the length of the lines in relation to the calculated...

Apply robotics to connect physical properties to chemical properties. Future engineers use robots to determine the melting points of various fats and oils. The robots can do this by measuring the translucency of the fats as they heat up.

What steps must you and your pupils take during a school lockdown or an evacuation? Reinforce school drills by keeping this poster displayed and easily visible in your classroom. The poster reviews the primary steps for a lockout,...
