Fifth graders create a reflection of a poygon using a Mira. They discover that a line connecting a vertiex of a polygon and the corresponding vertex of its reflection is perpendicular to the line of reflection. Students create a glide...

Third graders complete scientific investigation to determine what volume is and how it is determined by size not by mass. They discuss what they know about volume before proceeding with the demonstration and experimentation. After the...

In this metric system activity, learners read about metric and place value relationships, examine some sample problems, and then complete 5 conversion charts.

Students use graphs to calibrate an RCX car. They must then program the car to traverse a maze using their calibrations

Students investigate how to find the density of fluids and solids using math. Students also learn how to find the density of regular and irregular shaped objects.

Students work collaboratively to design and construct a roof out of Legos for a house that was built in a previous lesson plan. The roof must be structurally sound and pass certain criteria determined by the teacher.

Learners develop a line graph based on distances that an RCX car drives in specified amounts of time. They then are given a specific amount of time for the car to drive and be asked to extrapolate the car's distance from the graph.

Fourth graders build an explorer vehicle which they program through an obstacle course to enter the tomb or temple to discover artifacts.
