In this Pythagorean theorem worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different word problems that include using the Pythagorean theorem in each. First, they determine the height of an equilateral triangle. Then, students determine the length of...

Students plant seeds and watch them sprout. Once growing plants are placed in different conditions and students record data about their growth. They graph the data.

In this powers worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different word problems that include various expressions with powers. First, they write an expression for volume of a cube that has a certain width, length, and height. Then, students...

In this science challenge activity, students construct a parachute that will have the longest time in seconds and best accuracy when dropped from a predetermined height. Then they use the formula given to determine the calculations.

In this science project activity, students construct a container that will prevent an egg from breaking as it is dropped from a spot selected onto a target. Then they score each by measuring the distance between the furthest edge of the...

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the measurement of a foot as a customary unit. They take part in a series of activities to help them acquire skills of using a foot to compare other units of measurement. The teacher...

In this area and perimeter worksheet, students find the length or area of seventeen figures.  The figures examined are triangles, trapezoids, parallelograms, rectangles, and hexagons.  Some examples and solutions are...

In this mental math activity, students calculate area, volume, perimeter, and convert units in two mental math tests of ten problems each. 

In this distance worksheet, students calculate the lengths of sides and diagonals of figures.  Students also compute lengths in shadow problems.  The solutions are provided by clicking on the "show answers" tab at the bottom of...

In this parts of similar triangles worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 15 different statements related to naming the parts found in similar triangles. First, they identify each definition stated that describes an everyday usage of...

Students use chips to represent units to show examples and non examples of fractions. In this fraction lesson plan, students show what chips can be used for different fraction scenarios.

Young scholars examine how professionals use science to solve practical problems.  In this scientific process students divide into groups and complete a class activity on building strategies.

Enhance your states of matter lessons with a hands-on science investigation that compares six different balls' color, texture, size, weight, ability to bounce, and buoyancy. 

Students will measure each other and record the data in inches. They will use a stem and leaf plot to display data and figure out the average height of the students in a class. The other statistical data will be collected like the mode...

Young mathematicians collect data and graph it. They work collaboratively to collect data regarding the span of arm length versus height and graph the data they collect.

Seventh graders complete a visual acts project that focuses on eye level, center of vision, station point, cone of vision, vanishing points, true height, and drawing a box in two point perspective. They work on a number of still life...
