Pupils explore the concept of triangles.  In this triangles lesson, students are to propose a plan for a ramp at their school.  Pupils use the Pythagorean Theorem and trigonometry to determine the length, height, and angle of...

  Learners brainstorm about solar energy then construct a solar cooker to test the maximum temperature that materials can reach. In this solar energy lesson, students experiment and record temperature of water in their hot boxes...

In this geometry learning exercise, students solve missing parts of a triangle using the Pythagorean Theorem. There are 19 questions with an answer key.

Students test what they know about horses. This worksheet contains 10 multiple choice general knowledge questions about horses and an answer key.

Students design a "container" for his/her egg to determine whether the egg remain intact when dropped from a predetermined height.

Students name the properties of sand as related to the properties and the building of retaining walls. They build a retaining wall and state how retaining walls are used.

Students work together to complete an experiment calculating the amount of board footage in a tree. They record their data and answer questions at the end of the lesson. They create their own hypothesis as well.

Middle schoolers examine the many different burial mounds in Wisconsin. In groups, they use the internet to discover how long it took to build a specific mound. They must calculate the measurements of the mound to make a scale model.

Fourth graders, in groups, experiment with density and the displacement of water by creating and designing their own boats and seeing which boat holds the most centimeter cubes without sinking..

students identify and explore the connection between math and the bones of the human body. Students collect data about bones from their classmates and from adults, apply formulas that relate this data to a person's height, and organize...

Students explore what happens to water as it goes from solid to liquid and back. In this state of matter lesson, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state.

Pupils create an "skinny student" model of their own bodies on register tape. In small groups, they record measurements of their bodies then use these measurements to build and decorate the scale models including the positions of major...

Young scholars review and reinforce the concepts of mean, median, and mode based on the number of siblings the students have. They use Post-it notes to organize and re-organize the data.

Students need to be able to calculate the volume and surface area of a cuboid as well as present a systematic list of results in order to justify the minimum case. The use of three factors of 100 is also important.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders use the theorems regarding right triangles to find the missing length in a special right triangle. The one page worksheet contains eleven questions. Answers are included.

Students list four ways to identify trees. For this tree identification instructional activity, students use tree identification techniques such as leafs, bark, wood grain, soil type, and climate to create tables and graphs.

In this patterns in tables practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems that require them to write functions.

Learners explore volume with eggs. They design containers that can prevent eggs from breaking or cracking and test their containers with eggs to ensure that eggs will not crack or break. After ensuring their eggs will not crack or...
