Over four sessions, learners survey the production and use of polymers and petroleum products. First, they participate in a kinesthetic activity to demonstrate how polymers act, and review a list of common products made from...

Student observe the effect soap (or detergent) has on the movement of food color in milk. Pupils observe the properties of solids and liquids while making butter. They read a poem, Shaking, and listen for ryhming words. Studdents...

Students investigate right angles. In this geometry lesson plan, students define the word "angle" and create a right angle finder from an index card. Students find right angles in their classroom. As an extension activity, students try...

Examine the science behind computer communication. After defining the properties of magnets, learners simulate how a computer hard drive works by sending each other binary codes using the magnets. They use these communications to...

Students investigate and apply properties of math. In this algebra and physics lesson plan, students define important vocabulary words to create a basic understanding of keywords. They perform experiments using concepts of electricity...

Learners, through lecture and guided practice, discover the properties of similar triangles. They use given measurements of one triangle to find a missing measurement of a similar triangle. They apply this knowledge in real-life...

Students discover the importance of knots to mathematicians in developing scientific theories. In small groups, they examine knots and make obeservations about them. Students discuss the ways to distinguish knots and make lists of...

Students, as a final project, draw a picture of their ideal neighborhood on a sunny day. In addition to the sun, their drawings include homes, trees, streets, and selected objects. Each object in their drawing has a written description...

Pupils draw diagrams demonstrating how it is possible to two central angles to be congruent and their minor arcs are not congruent. In groups, they illustrate theorems with their constructed circles, create diameters of circles that are...

Students define matter, the chemical properties of matter, and the physical properties of matter. They name physical and chemical properties of matter (by classifying using a Tree Map). Students determine the mass, volume, and density of...

First graders explore the zero property of addition and subtraction through the creation of a class book. Includes an assessment sheet.

Students create building and models using scale factors. In this geometry lesson, students apply the properties of ratio and proportion to solve problems. They identify the means and extremes property of cross multiplication.

Tenth graders explore the properties of the incenter of a triangle. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders construct a triangle and the angle bisectors of each angle. The dynamic properties of Cabri Jr. allow students to locate and...

Students explore the identity properties of multiplication and of addition. They answer riddles that have to do with the identity properties and observe the teacher explanation of each property as they are modeled on the board. ...

Students investigate mining and economics. In this mining lesson, students play a game in which they purchase property, mine the property, and pay for reclamation.  Students earn money for each ore mined. 

Young scholars identify the different properties of polygons. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate between polygons and non-polygons. They review important vocabulary to help them understand the properties of polygons.

First graders identify coins (pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters), and their attributes, including physical characteristics and value.

Students explore the concept of paragraph proofs. In this paragraph proofs lesson, students make flow charts of the process of getting ready for school. Students convert the flow chart to a paragraph proof. Students use geometric...

Students explore the physical properties of density. In this hands-on lesson, students calculate density and distinguish between intensive and extensive properties.

Students define important vocabulary words using a dictionary. In this geometry lesson, students identify and use properties of triangles to solve problems. They identify the median. altitude and angles as well as properties of...

Students solve quadratic function by completing the square. In this algebra lesson, students use the quadratic formula to factor quadratics and find the roots. They graph the parabola and identify its properties.

Students identify the properties of solids and polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the different measurements of a triangle. They use congruence parts and theorem to prove their answer.

Students identify the properties representing quadrilateral. In this geometry lesson plan, students differentiate between special and regular quadrilaterals. They discuss and demonstrate hierarchy of quadrilaterals.

Students study polygons. In this math lesson, students play a game in which they learn the classification system for polygons. Students identify the properties of quadrilaterals.
