Young scholars are asked how do they calculate velocity? They take a trip to the school's track and have a series of timed races. Students return to class and calculate their velocity and see who is the fastest. They summarize what...

Students learn the four concepts of flight; drag, lift, thrust, and weight. In this scientific inquiry lesson, students participate in a flight activity where they jump as high as they can to stamp a large sheet of paper and measure and...

Students use the scientific inquiry method to identify the changes in a plant's life cycle. In groups, they plant different types of plants and use a chart to compare and contrast their growth rates. They share their conclusions with...

Students discover how to find the mean, median, and mode from sets of data. By using statistical techniques such as whisker plots and bar graphs, they display the data gleaned from problems. Individually, students complete projects...

Students read and demonstrate eight measures of four beats. For this music reading lesson, students read and demonstrate through movement their mastery of eight measures of four beats. Students also classify instruments.

Students solve problems with percents, decimals and fractions. In this algebra lesson, students convert between fractions, percents and decimals. They estimate their answers and calculate their answer.

Pupils investigate circles and its arcs. In this geometry lesson, students identify the relationship between an circle and its intercepted arcs. THey identify the central and inscribed angles.

Students identify the relationship between chords, secants and circles. For this geometry lesson, students calculate the length of the chords. They sketch the secant lines on a circle.

Pupils identify the interior and exterior measures of polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the formula for interior angles of polygons. They differentiate between triangular and polygons angles.

Students create and give oral proposals for the construction of a gazebo using a blueprint created with Geometer's Sketchpad. They then build a gazebo model using the blueprints created and provide evidence why it should be selected for...

High schoolers examine how to apply the principles of trigonometry in authentic measurement situations. They work in groups to determine the height of an object such as a flag pole by determine the angle from their position to the top.

In this linear equation worksheet, students use the iterative method to solve systems of equations. Explanations and examples are provided. This four-page worksheet contains approximately three problems.
