Students investigate the interior angles of a triangle. For this geometry lesson, students create the formula to calculate the angles inside a triangle. They observe the total sum of a triangles angle on the navigator.

Students identify chords and angles. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the length of the chords inside and outside of-the circle. They differentiate between tangent and secant lines.

Students explore proportional reasoning.  For this middle school mathematics lesson students investigate scale drawings as they create a proportional representation for the carvings on Mt. Rushmore.

For this worksheet, students are asked 11 questions about AC currents and transformers and volt meters. Students can check answers online.

Students investigate the growth rate of a man named Bob Wadlow.  In this growth rate of a man lesson, students determine if the growth rate of this particular man was normal or abnormal.  Students bring in data of their height...

Pupils explore circumference manipulating Moon Pie wrapper. In this geometry lesson plan, they manipulate snack wrappers to find circumference, diameter, radius and distance.

Pupils investigate segments in a triangle by constructing a triangle using Cabri Jr. They construct segments within the triangle that lie on the midpoints of the triangle's sides. Learners then compare the slope of base of the triangle...

In this language of science activity, students use the list provided to guess the meaning of each of the list. Students apply root words, prefixes, and suffixes to gain meaning of other science words.

In this moon learning exercise, learners read about the data collected from the Deep Impact/EPOXI and Cassini missions to the moon that have detected the presence of hydroxyl molecules under the moon's polar craters. Students solve 4...

Here is a lesson that has learners take a look at corresponding parts of similar triangles, ratios of similarity, reductions and enlargements. They'll manipulate the scale factor (r) to observe the changes in similar triangles and then...

Learn how to calculate the length and midsegments of triangles. Students differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. They create a spreadsheet with their findings.

Students perform transformations and translations using polygons. In this geometry lesson, students perform transformations on a coordinate plane. They identify the image and pre-image of each figure.

Students examine the importance of good quality safety gear. In this investigative lesson, students will tests various polymers, collect data, and analyze the data to determine which polymer is best for safety helmets. They will design a...

Young scholars perform an experiment with different types of bird eggs to determine what factors make them strong and able to stay on a cliff without rolling off.

In this Kelvin temperature scale learning exercise, students solve 6 problems using the equations for the conversion of Centigrade to Fahrenheit and Kelvin to Centigrade. They convert between Fahrenheit and Kelvins and Centigrade and...

Students find percents and unit price using popcorn.

Students, in groups, determine the volume of a box large enough to hold a million dollars. They calculate the dimensions of a bill and the volume of the money.

Third graders are introduced to the importance of science safety. As a class, they role play through different safety procedures and decide which senses need to be protected for different scenerios. They discuss how to avoid hazardous...

Students visit a website that features online interactive geology and biology simulations. They observe and estimate the amplitude of the largest wave and transfer the information to a nomogram. Based on the nomogram students will...

High schoolers differentiate lines and angles using betweenness in this geometry lesson plan. They differentiate angles and lines using Cabri Jr. and analyze the data and make conjecture.

Students compare the colloquial definition of temperature with the scientific definition. They, in groups, then explore the changes of water under different temperatures and calculate and compare their findings on three different...

Students explore the human anatomy. In this respiratory system instructional activity, students conduct an experiment to simulate the capacity of human lungs. 

Young scholars decide whether or not there is or has even been water on Mars. They analyze temperature and pressure data from the Pathfinder mission to Mars, and then they analyze images of Mars, interpreting the landforms they see and...
