It's all about density! Here's a dense workbook for young scientists; they solve (and show work for) 29 density word problems, including a problem where they solve for the density of Godzilla. They complete labs analyzing metal...

Students examine what happens when air temperature drops and gets closer to the dewpoint. They perform a lab activity which illustrates the effects on humidity, precipitation and barometric air pressure.

Learners discover the property of density while participating in a lab exercise. In this scientific measuring lesson plan, pupils utilize a scale to measure the density of different metal materials. They document their work and present...

Geometry students will be ecstatic about these engaging and enlightening end-of-the-year projects! Types of project ideas include interviewing a geometer, an ABCs of geometry poster, an engineering lab report, and origami work. 

Students discuss the role of the firefighter. In this firefighter instructional activity, students visit a fire station and see the equipment that firefighters use. They complete a math page on numbers and write a journal entry...

Students extend linear and directional patterns, identify patterns in classroom and community environments, create original patterns incorporating the senses of sight and sound, and operate video and recording equipment.

Student Teachers are given the opportunity to examine how to use a computer-based laboratory for inquiry. The practice is done to teach future teachers how to use these tools so they can be ready for use in the classroom environment.

Students after completing the Part II (of 2) scientific notation online lab exercises, manipulate and interpret large numbers expressed in the "mantissa and exponent" format of scientific notation.

Students identify and interpret how milk is processed and learn important concepts in food safety and quality assurance. They identify how milk is processed, the importance of food safety, and the quality assurance process. Students also...

Young scholars construct triangles. In this geometry lesson, students create equilateral triangles. They also construct triangles where the sides are different. They use the lab to create and move shapes around with the Cabri program.

Students describe safe practice when doing field and lab investigations in a estuary or wetland. They create a model of an estuary and describe their value and function. They participate in field study in which they collect and analyze...

The last segment of the nine-part unit makes a connection between springs and linear equations. Groups hang weights from the spring and measure its length. Then, using the data collected, they calculate the slope to find the k-value...

Practice converting a conventional number into scientific notation, and vice-versa. Using an applet, they perform the operations of multiplication and division on numbers expressed in scientific notation.

Explore four web-based interactive sites to develop a baseline understanding of statistics. Learners play a series of penny basketball games and collect data regarding their shooting statistics. Groups decide who is the "top" penny...

Students after investigating examples of exponential growth students have an intuitive feel for the concept of exponential growth of a system.

Learners collect data, organize and analyze the data and compare it to real life scenarios. This assignment requires two class periods.

Learners use Excel spreadsheets to organize purchases, discounts, sales prices, and sales tax. Students follow step by step instructions and enter formulas as well as use the auto sum feature to calculate required calculations.

Students investigate the Napoleon triangle theory. In this polygon lesson, students  differentiate between the boundary points, interior and lattice point of a polygon. They apply concepts of equilateral triangles to solve...

Young scholars create a compost cake. In this gardening and decomposition science instructional activity, students review and describe the "nutrient cycle." Young scholars create a compost pile, measure and record the dimensions and...

Students manipulate and interpret large numbers expressed in the "exponent" format of scientific notation.

Seventh graders, in groups, complete an Isotopes model and notice that atomic masses are decimal numbers. These masses are an average of all the isotopes of that element.

Pupils construct perpendicular lines. In this geometry instructional activity, students use a compass and straight edge to do construction. They start from a point to a line.

Students identify lines, and line segments. In this geometry instructional activity, students divide line segments into equal congruent parts. They complete a laboratory activity dealing with lines and segments.

Students construct midsegments. In this geometry lesson, students make conjectures and apply properties of triangles to solve problems. They complete an activity on the computer.
