Students participate in various activities which address Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. In this holiday lesson, students are exposed to Hebrew songs and construct Haiku poems about Yom Kippur.

Second graders wear a favorite sports jersey to school. They calculate the mean, median and mode of the numbers represented on the jerseys. They present and explain their calculations to the class.

Students discover the centroid of a triangle based on Euclid's constructions. They explore locus of points of a median. They understand properties of the segments that form the median and areas of the smaller sections formed by the median.

Third graders use nonstandard concrete methods to estimate and record measurements of their body.

Fourth graders measure to the nearest centimeter. They work together to create a portrait of themselves with an accurate measurement of their smile to the nearest centimeter. This is a creative way for students to explore centimeters.

Sixth graders identify and use area formulas for finding the area of geometric shapes.

Students study units of measure like cups, pints, quarts and gallons. They work in groups to create their own mixtures of trail mix using the measuring cups. Then they make a gorilla puzzle using a gallon bottle.

Students participate in a variety of activities to learn about apples. Students graph apples, learn about apple uses, taste apples, and observe what happens when apples are dipped in lemon juice.

Third graders estimate and measure the length of a whole color-segmented, candy gummy worm. Then, as students bite off each segment, they estimate, measure and record findings in an activity log.

Students use hypsometers to measure tall objects.

Fourth graders represent a new predator on a population of colored worms. They mathematically determine the effect of the new predator on the survival and reproductive rates of the worms, simulating natural selection at work.

Students investigate how human beings impact ocean ecosystems. In this ocean ecosystem lesson, students explore how marine debris affects marine life. Internet resources are provided.

Second graders measure surface area and perimeter using estimation. They complete a variety of measurement activities using Cheerios breakfast cereal.

Students use technology tools and resources for managing and communicating personal/professional information. They select and apply technology tools for research, information analysis, problem solving, and decision making in content...

Learners explore printmaking which began with the ancient Chinese who carved seals from stone, inked them and used the seals as identification symbols. They produce a print in this instructional activity.

Young scholars explore linear equations, parallel lines, perpendicular lines and slopes. Using computers with graphic calculators and word processing, students examine the relationship between the slopes of perpendicular lines and...

Eighth graders are introduced to the basic concepts of Geometry and their definitions in Euclidean space. They draw and define the following terms: point, line, and line segment. Students also define the terms colliner and...

Learners calculate pi using data on the circumference and diameter of various objects. They define key vocabulary terms, measure the circumference and diameter of various circular objects, organize the data on a table or chart, and...

Students develop an understanding of measurable attributes of circles; develop a formula to determine the circumference of circles. They approximate the value of pi.

First graders measure the length of pipe cleaners to form worms using rulers to focus on inches. They record their results and graph the measurement of each pipe cleaner. They measure their pipe cleaner "worms" in various colors and...

Learners use scientific methods during field and lab investigations. Students collect specimens and make measurements using the metric system. Learners describe biotic and abiotic factors in an estuary and design a model.

Students read the story Anansi Goes to Lunch and complete many language arts-based activities to go with the book. For this language arts lesson plan, students complete activities including phonics, writing, coloring, counting, role...

Pupils investigate Hohmann orbit transfers using cardboard and string while focusing on the orbits of Earth and Mars. They look at the planets orbits around the sun and transfer orbit form one planet to another to determine what a...

Learners research the concepts of center of mass and how to make different things balance. They make symmetrical cut-outs of different "creatures" and experiment with how they balance on a tightrope of string.
