Does the mention of proteins and polypeptide relationships in your classroom result in mass confusion? Does the attempt to teach this important concept generate multiple questions and, at times, lead to a room filled with blank...

Students investigate the concepts of geometry that can be grouped into a flip book that can be used for teaching and review purposes. They define the differences between two and three dimensional figures. Also polygons are reviewed and...

Fifth graders create a net for a given polyhedron. They determine the corresponding polyhedron for a given net. Students investigate several polyhedra (cube, tetrahedron, and one of their choosing) and their corresponding nets. They...

Students make and fly a sled kite out of plastic garbage bags, dowel rods, and more. In this kite lesson plan, students plan the kite to have symmetry and make adjustments as they test it.

Students follow directions in the ABC of Symmetry to make a butterfly which shows a line of symmetry.

In this volume worksheet, learners answer four multiple choice and four problems solving problems regarding the volume of a trench.  Examples, formulas, explanations, and answers are provided.

Learners create 3-dimensional works in clay. In this sculpture lesson, students discuss a theme and create a sculpture based on that theme. Learners express personal ideas and feelings through the arts.

Sixth graders explore the relationship between area and perimeter. After discovering the definition of perimeter, 6th graders work together to create designs for a flower bed. They observe that the perimeter remains constant even...

Students make conjectures of intersecting circles. In this geometry instructional activity, students observe circles and their position in space. They investigate and observe two and three dimensional objects.

Students make pictures with squeeze bottles of tempera paint, and fold the paper to show lines of symmetry. They complete a T chart to showing lines of symmetry. They access a website to complete a symmetry activity.

Students identify properties of circles. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the center of two intersecting circles.They use Cabri software to create circles and move it around to make observation.

Sixth graders compute the surface area. For this surface area lesson students are given a set of problems to calculate. They compute the surface area of cubes and rectangular boxes.

Students use 3-dimensional materials to create a simple 3-D object. They think about different ways the object could be sliced. Students choose one way to slice the object, and draw the sliced shape on paper or computer. Using a 3-D...

Students learn the difference between perimeter and area by watching a video and a hands on activity.

Students study rectangles. In this math lesson, students use numbers, measurements and geometry to draw rectangles of varying sizes.

Students calculate the volume and surface are of three-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students use the nets to prove their calculations of shapes. They identify the different parts of a solid using the nets.

Students classify polygons by name and shape. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the lateral surface of each conic. They differentiate between cones, cylinders and spheres.

In this art worksheet, students read a 1 page article on the history or art, prepare their background to making a collage, gather basic shapes, create their collage and then add in the finishing touches to them.

Students investigate the usage of parallel and perpendicular shapes in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students investigate shapes for properties that are related to the real world. They relate all the properties of shape tot he...

Fifth graders create a collage vase with tissue paper. Using the vase, they cover the material with tissue overlapping with other pieces. They use Mod Podge to get the wrinkled look of the tissue paper and make three dimensional...

Students identify the parts of three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson, students find the number of faces, edges and vertices. They differentiate between prisms and polyhedra.

Students define and identify shapes by name. In this geometry lesson, students construct, identify and compare polygons based on the number of sides. They classify each shape based on their angle sum theorem.

Students recognize and identify shapes in their environment. They investigate why objects can be composed of several different shapes. They follow a pattern to recreate designs using various shapes.

Pupils calculate the surface area of different prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify the shapes of solids based on the properties of that solid. They calculate the surface area using nets and properties of prisms.
