First graders participate in a simulation involving newspaper, food coloring, water, and more to observe the debarking process of producing wood. In this wood lesson plan, 1st graders also measure, and learn about reducing, reusing, and...

Students participate in an experiment and learn to record it using the scientific method.  In this biodegradable plastics lesson, students follow the scientific method to complete an inquiry. Students complete an experiment with a...

Students set up and conduct a scientific experiment to demonstrate data collection. In this scientific process instructional activity, students complete an activity with the specific objective of using a slingshot to fire a t-shirt into...

Students define vocabulary related to geometry and calculate the volume. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate flow rates, and volume as it relates to a water plant facility. They calculate the volume of three dimensional...

Students estimate the thickness of coins. In this stack up lesson, students stack pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. They calculate and record the thickness of each coin. Students stack coins and estimate the height of the stack.

Students research the skeletal system. In this anatomy instructional activity, students measure their bodies to find the approximate length of their bones. They draw and cut out each of the bones and then attach them using brads or...

Students examine several concepts about weather in the seven lessons of this unit. This year long activity helps students to gather data seasonally about wind, clouds, precipitation, and temperature. Earth's three climate zones are...

Students investigate density and salinity of water. In this density and salinity lesson plan, students find the density of objects and liquids and show the relationship between the salinity and density of water. Students add salt to...

Students use vocabulary to describe the quilt making process. In this quilting lesson, students collect needed materials, sequence the steps for quilting and create an original peace quilt. Students write about their quilts.

Learners explore grasshoppers. In this grasshoppers instructional activity, students measure the jumping distance of live grasshoppers. Learners then record the jumping distance of people in their group. Students record the...

Students create a Hexaflexagon using a formula. In this calculus lesson, students apply the definition of delta epsilon as it relates to limit to create a shape using creases. They relate the same rule to triangles and investigate angles.

Eighth graders draw right triangles and identify the parts of a right triangle: right angle, interior and exterior angles, hypotenuse and legs. They predict and identify any relationships that exist between the sides of a right...

Learners monitor a local creek. In this environmental water lesson, students conduct an environmental study of a local creek by monitoring the temperature and water quality over a period of time, then submit data to the Global Water...

Student use the scientific method to experiment with worms. In this characteristics of living things lesson, students predict and examine the reactions of worms to dry and wet soil. Students share their findings.

Students explore the relationship between a scale drawing and actual distance. In this mapping instructional activity, students use an amusement park map to determine distances and what they would be like in real life.

Students become forensic investigators. In this crime scene activity, students go to the science lab which is the "scene of the crime." They collect evidence such as fingerprints, "blood" evidence, chromatography, footprints, and...

Students explore the different properties of conics. In this algebra lesson, students calculate the midpoint of a line, the distances between two points as they get ready to find the focus and directrix in eclipse and other conics. They...

In this geometry worksheet, students solve problems based on the triangle inequality theorem(s) in which determine if the given lengths can form a triangle, given two sides of a triangle determine the range of the third side, and order...

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 build a telescope and give quantification of its magnification and field of view while making observations regarding images. In this telescope lesson, students use a simple lens to project a scene and examine various telescope...

Students investigate climate change and how the properties of carbon dioxide and methane play a part.  In this climate lesson students use a chemical reaction to trap CO2 and methane.

First graders identify, interpret, and gain proficiency in using a clock to tell time to the hour and determine how many minutes are in an hour. They identify and list what they do as they travel through their dayand how much time you...

Students determine the molar volume of hydrogen gas. In this molar volume lesson plan, students find the molar volume of hydrogen produced in a reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid. They use a eudiometer to measure the volume...

In this SI prefixes and mass worksheet, students are given measurements of mass and they covert to the given measurement by moving the decimal the proper number of places to the left or right.
