Students explain how manufactured products depend on its function for a purpose.  In this sticky tape instructional activity students test the strength of different tapes, take measurements and record data. 

Students identify the parts of an engine using a graph. In this statistics lesson plan, students make a graph from their collected data. They calculate the volume of a cylinder using a line of regression and a scatter...

Students discuss the importance of water in our daily lives. In this physics lesson, students calculate the pressure of water tower systems. They investigate the effect of certain variables using a computer simulation.

Second graders investigate the stages in the life cycle of the butterfly. They create a picture using Kid Pix tools. They give a description of the picture that they have created.

Fifth graders conclude that each color of the spectrum has a different amount of thermal energy by measuring temperature with a thermometer. They infer that there is an invisible band of the spectrum by measuring temperature beyond the...

Eighth graders practice technology skills through the use of a spreadsheet and a discovery lesson focusing upon linear equations. The technology allows for the visual changes to be displayed for different lines of equations.

Students go on a GPS scavenger hunt. They use GPS receivers to find designated waypoints and report back on what they found. They compute distances between waypoints based on the latitude and longitude, and compare with the distance the...

Students explore how different textures provide varying amounts of friction to objects moving across them. They build a tool to measure the amount of friction between a note card and various surfaces by measuring the distance that a...

Students investigate how humans impact the environment and compile an organism database into an e-book field guide. They name muscle groups and develop specific exercises to strengthen these groups. Students utilize technology for data...

Sixth graders compare and contrast incomplete and complete metamorphosis using a Venn Diagram. They predict, observe, measure, and record data on the life cycle of mealworms. Students write and illustrate the life cycle of the mealworm....

Students challenge "common knowledge" against newly learned estimation strategies and put those strategies into use. They consider variables in estimating different groups of objects and practice skills of representing numbers.

Eighth graders create a website using FrontPage. They use inserted forms to collect survey information and use Microsoft Excel and MS Word to create a presentation of the survey and the results.

Students construct a model airplane, measure distance, and calculate velocity.  In this creative lesson students work in groups to build a model and use it to calculate distances and velocity.

Students identify different types of special right triangles. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between right triangles and isosceles triangles. they construct the triangles using geometry software and make conjectures...

Learners calculate the distance a car travel using CEEBoT. In this algebra lesson, students apply the distance formula to real life scenarios. They use a measuring tape and a formula to measure the distance the ceebot travels.

Fourth graders explain the novel through creative descriptions, learn importance of word choice in descriptive writing, and implement technology skills of searching the Internet, typing, cutting and pasting, graphic designs, and...
