Sixth graders sketch their own kites by creating a scale drawing of an original design.  In this designing kites lesson, 6th graders draw a rough sketch, then accurately draw their design on large paper with a ruler, measuring...

Students use the Live Access Server (LAS) to form maps and a numerical text file of snow cover for each continent on a particular date. They analyze the data for each map and corresponding text file to determine an estimate of snow cover...

Students solve systems of equations with radical expressions. After reading real life situation, they translate the problem into algebraic expressions. As a class, students solve quadratic equations and inequalities by graphing and...

Students observe liquids in different containers and then explore the concept that liquids have level surfaces. They identify those who are not at the center to reinforce the concept of liquid levels with a representational puzzle and...

In this length worksheet, students number the objects in order from longest to shortest. Students compare the objects using the longest side of each object. Students write 1 next to the longest length and 3 next to the shortest for the 9...

Students examine sampling by investigating rocks found in the schoolyard.  In this sampling rocks lesson students collect and analyze a sample of rocks.

Students weigh objects using a triple beam balance. For this mass lesson, students use an inertial balance made with a metal rod to measure and graph vibrations of varying numbers of pennies in a bucket. References and discussion prompts...

Learners discover the properties of matter and how they change when composite materials are produced.  In this informative lesson students write up a question and procedure to an experiment then analyze and draw conclusions based on...

Students investigate different liquids to develop their concept of a liquid. They work at a center to tip, swirl, shake, roll, and otherwise investigate seven liquids in small, clear plastic bottles: plain water, corn syrup, liquid...
