Students identify plots on a graph while playing a game on a large coordinate grid and then on smaller grids.

Eighth graders create a survey, gather data and describe the data using measures of central tendency (mean, median and mode) and spread (range, quartiles, and interquartile range). Students use these measures to interpret, compare and...

Students collect and classify items. In this making predictions lesson, students go outside and collect specimens of plants, insects and minerals. They classify each item and place them in a Venn Diagram. Students compare and contrast...

Students watch "Cyberchase: The Poddleville Case" and analyze patterns. They complete a patterns assignment worksheet and then they make up patterns using numbers, shapes or colors, for their classmates to solve. They use patterns to...

Your class will complete research dealing with Pi and its value in mathematics, leading into a discovery lab to demonstrate Pi, how it is determined, and how it is used. In the end, students eat PIE!

Students measure and calculate the angle of the sun. They compare the leaf types on the north and south to compare the effects of the sun on the type of vegetation. They complete the activities inside the classroom or on a trip to a...

Prepare young scholars for life in the twenty-first century with this introduction to computer coding formatted as a fun problem solving game, this resource is a great way to develop children's sequential thinking...

Students investigate metric measurement. For this geometry lesson plan, students discover metric measurements of everyday objects as they compare them to US measurements.

Seventh graders explore the concept of ratios and proportions. For this ratios and proportions lesson, 7th graders work in groups to measure their heights and their arm span. Students compare their height to their arm span. Students make...

Students explore problem solving strategies. Given real life problems, students examine the sum of consecutive strings of whole numbers. Students use diagrams and sequencing to solve problems. Students justify their mathematical...

Students examine the components of a sonar system. In this physical science lesson students explain how multibeam and sidescan sonar systems are useful to ocean explorers.  Students simulate sonar operations in an activity using a...

Students will measure common everyday objects in order to calculate pi. In this measurement lesson plan, students measure the circumference and diameters of objects and fill them into a chart which helps them calculate pi.

Eighth graders resolve vector problems without the knowledge of math.  In this vectors lesson students with poor math skills get a chance of passing the course. 

Students practice continuous probability distributions. In this probability lesson, students calculate probability, use probability functions, and use rectangular distribution.

Young scholars investigate the importance of significant figures through measuring and estimating. In this estimation and significant figures lesson plan, students measure pieces of paper and round their figures to the nearest marking on...

Students take digital pictures of themselves before using a stylus pen on to trace their facial features on a graphic pad. Using an Internet gallery of body drawings they complete a caricature of themselves. In two other activities, they...

Students recognize preventitive measures that can be taken to reduce the risks associated with exposure to solar radiation. They explain why solar radiation can be harmful. They utilize beads that turn color when exposed to UV rays. Good...

Students investigate static and current electricity. In this electricity lesson plan, students observe 4 demonstrations and conduct 3 activities to explore the repulsion of electrons and the attraction of protons and electrons. They...

Students recognize and identify common objects that can be used as a lever. For this simple machines lesson, students experiment with materials to design and construct a machine that uses a lever. Students also design and build a catapult.

Students listen to The Archer and the Sun and participate in interdisciplinary activities related to the book. In this Archer and the Sun lesson, students discuss sun and weather and create a graph of the weather they like best- sunny or...

Students analyze the correct use of technology as it relates to math and science. In this science lesson, students investigate force and weight as it relates to building an object. They build a bridge and draw conclusion based on the...
