Fourth graders measure the perimeters of several different rooms. They convert the measurements using ratios that allow them to draw the rooms to scale on paper. They draw the dimensions of a house to scale. They measure length to the...

Geometry adventurers study circumference of a circle as they listen to Sir Circumference and the Dragon Pi, by Cindy Neuschwander. In groups, they use string to measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects and...

Fourth graders, after being given a box of cornbread mix, follow the directions to make the cornbread. They utilize measuring cups to mix all the ingredients together and incorporate adding simple fractions while mixing up the cornbread.

Second graders discuss experiences of watching a rocket launch either on television or in person before making paper rockets. They make and color rockets which they attempt to launch using a strong breath blown through a straw at the...

Eighth graders create their own cane flute. They use a model flute to gain the correct measurements and use the scientific method to construct the flute to have sound quality and pitch accuracy.

Third graders use metric measuring for model and actual plan in designing a roof garden. They photograph the process, record results in a journal, and plant seedlings in small containers. Finally, 3rd graders complete an acid rain...

Students create projects on Astronomy using math concepts and use of Internet resources.

Students complete activities to examine the properties of water. In this water science lesson, students read a book about water's forms and study a map or globe of the Earth to investigate water. Students discuss living things that need...

In this temperature worksheet, learners analyze 6 Celsius thermometers and write the temperature under each one. Students find the pattern and write the next three temperatures that might come next.

Students examine collections. In these real-world collections lessons, students examine and describe buttons and shells. Students will then sort, classify, and graph items according to various indicated descriptors.

Sixth graders experiment with an atlatl and dart.  In this sixth grade data management mathematics lesson, 6th graders explore and determine the most suitable methods of displaying data collected from their experimentation with...

Students examine the effects of hearing loss. In this instructional activity on physical disabilities, students survey five older adults on hearing impairments. Students pool their data and compare their results with the results from...

Fifth graders identify, describe, and classify lines, line segments, rays, and angles. When given a diagram of a line, they classify the line as perpendicular, parallel, intersecting, vertical, horizontal, and/or diagonal.

Students explore linear relationships. The lesson uses science to develop an understanding of the expanding Universe. There are 3 Labs, only 2 of which are required. Lab C is an enrichment for higher level classes.

Fourth graders design and create a log cabin in this lesson. They use ratios to help make dimensions of a house. They draw out how they want their house to look and gather the materials they need to complete the house. The log cabins...

Students explore which fractions are made real in our world. They also show the relationship of cross multiplication and equivalent fractions To reinforce fraction skills.

Learners compute mean, median and mode and compare mean, median and mode to a real-world application to identify their practical uses. They apply mean, median and mode to real-world statistical data. Finally, students organize data into...

Students work to develop surveys and collect data. They display the data using circle graphs, histograms, box and whisker plots, and scatter plots. Students use multimedia tools to develop a visual presentation to display their data.

First graders sequence the development of a plant. In this plant life lesson, 1st graders listen to a story about how a plant grows, students view a PowerPoint presentation and learn new vocabulary. Finally, students sequence the stages...

High schoolers retrieve and map census data to determine the average rent and owners' payments made throughout Canada. They find out how many people are spending more than 30 percent of their income on housing.

High schoolers explore Literal Equations. In this literal equations lesson, students use the Internet to connect to links and solve linear equations. High schoolers investigate, analyze and record their findings on various activity...

Students collect data on the time of the ferry. For this algebra lesson, students use the data to predict a ferry schedule. They also compute the depth where oxygen would be needed when diving.

In this tally chart worksheet, learners use the tally chart on the page to answer 2 questions. They then solve the last 2 questions using their own tally chart.

Pupils estimate the size of a sea turtle nest, or clutch, that contains about 120 eggs. They decide what type of container that they are familiar with that could hold a complete nest or clutch. Finally, students calculate the volume of...
