Your pupils may believe that you and their parents are the oldest things in the universe, but surprise! There are elements of the universe that are even older. Elementary scientists create a class timeline to demonstrate the...

Referring to the periodic table of elements, nuclear physics learners determine the resulting elements of alpha and beta decay. Answers are given in atomic notation, showing the atomic symbol, mass, atomic number, and emission particles....

Not only do future engineers learn the difference between accuracy and precision, they also get some hands-on experience using different measuring tools. 

Make Newton proud. Scholars apply their understanding of forces and energy to an engineering design challenge. They learn about simple machines, create a presentation on Newton's laws, and develop a balloon-powered car.

Twelfth graders practice skills adding and dividing decimals. They examine the help wanted ads and compute the hourly and weekly wages. They discuss the real life value of understanding the importance of decimals.

Pupils examine human health by reading a children's book in class. In this breakfast lesson, students identify the importance of starting the day with a good, nutritious meal. Pupils read the book I Think I Forgot Something and answer...

Learners explore eating, cooking, and life in France and identify table-setting vocabulary and restaurant conversational skills. After reviewing the crepe recipe, students pair up and do a mini WebQuest on crepes and find cultural...

Students discuss the many processes involved with personal banking. They create their own budget based on their career choices. They also practice balancing a checkbook.

Students answer short answer questions, state their likes and dislikes, say what roles they have, and more about themselves. For this all about me lesson plan, students read books about how we are all different and the same.

Second graders examine the artwork of Robert Harris and discuss how trees are an important part of their lives. In groups, they discover how people's use of the environment has changed over time and describe the climate and vegetation...

Students calculate percentages using the Percent Tricks method. They multiply and divide whole numbers. They count total number of candies in a bag and calculate the percent of each color.

Students conduct a lab experiment using the scientific method. In this interdisciplinary lesson plan, students will test the difference in popping white and yellow corn. Students will write their lab report in their science, math,...

Students use candy and pizza to identify concepts associated with fractions. They work together in groups to create fractions. They complete a worksheet individually to complete the activity.

Studnents examine the degree of biodiversity that exists in one's everyday environment, in order to develop an understanding of how scientists classify organisms and to explain why biodiversity is important for living things.

Students explore physics. They investigate the strategies used by an engineer to solve a problem. Students construct various models to solve the problem. They display their solutions and explain how they solved the problem.

Students explore tessellations as well as various types of polygon. Students examine tessellating patterns in the world around them. Students examine tessellations by creating their own tessellations and completing the included worksheet.

High schoolers examine tesselllations and their geometric properties. They have a better knowledge of polygons, can identify types of symmetry in tessellations. Also students use visulization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling...

Middle schoolers investigate water usage, water available, and water demand historically in the local area. They use projections of water usage, availability and demand up to the year 2050. Students use graphs to relate as well as...

Ninth graders establish a food budget based on individual needs and resources. They evaluate grocery stores and establish guidelines for purchasing specific foods.

Students explore how landscapes undergo constant changes with urban development. They plan and build their own "city" by including features that have minimal resource demands to sustain the city itself.
