Students analyze the relationship between speed, time and distance. For this math lesson, students plan a school trip. Students determine the efficiency and cost effectiveness of a trip.

Students sort, classify, and write about how they sort a variety of shells.

Learners demonstrate knowledge of sorting and classifying by color as they sort gummy bear candies.

For this turkeys in sequential order worksheet, students cut out and color four turkeys and then paste them in the correct sequential order on the worksheet.

In this circus pattern worksheet, students analyze 5 rows of circus pictures. Each row has a pattern or specific sequence. Students cut and paste the next picture that would follow.

Learners study the vocabulary of the states of matter. In this states of matter vocabulary lesson, students investigate and study the meaning of the words solid, liquid, and gas. They experience demonstration lessons that give them...

Students begin developing investigation skills. In this investigation skills lesson, students watch a demonstration of a teacher putting a skewer into a balloon. They observe that the balloon does not pop before discussing what they...

Fourth graders create an individualized wellness plan that addresses these controllable health risk factors:obesity, high cholesterol level, high blood pressure and inactivity.

Tenth graders investigate three different sets of data that relate temperature to another variable in the physical world. These illustrate linear, inverse and exponential relationships.

Eighth graders review their understanding about numbers and number systems through playing the Number Game. They create a list of numbers and based upon the characteristics and properties of the numbers they will earn points.

Middle schoolers are introduced to fractions, including operations with fractionsm converting fractions to decimals and percents. They are provided with activities that provide ample practice opportunities to reinforce the information...

Young scholars examine the patterns that exist in Pascal's Triangle. They explore multiples and factors. Sudents use an applet to create and color the multiples in Pascal's Triangle.

Students discover patterns and sequences. They use a website to explore patterns and fractals. Students share their discovery of fractals and their patterns with the class. They develop a list of patterns used in everyday life.

Students demonstrate the semi-permeability of a cell membrane. In this rubber egg lesson, students measure and record egg data, place the egg in jar with vinegar and close the lid, observe immediately and periodically for the next 3...

Students practice grouping in different ways by putting numbers up to 1,000 in the correct place value. In this place value lesson plan, students estimate items in a jar and then count them out by grouping them by 10s.

Students, working independently and in groups, apply the distance formula to practical situations. After solving various problems, students in pairs design coordinate planes from the school blue print to measure the distance from the...

Students construct a small greenhouse and plant lima beans. They read books about plants, tend the lima bean seedlings, observe and record plant growth, taste a variety of plants and maintain plant journals.
