In this exploring pendulums worksheet, students experiment with pendulums they make in the lab. They vary the length of the strings and the weights to observe the changes in the pendulum's amplitude and frequency. They answer 3 analysis...

Learners investigate measuring angles correctly through projectiles. In this geometry lesson, students launch a projectile to investigate the importance of how to measure an angle correctly and to explore trajectory. They collect...

Learners understand how their food moves through the digestive system. In this digestion lesson, students measure the length of the digestive system from a projection of it. Learners draw their own pictures of the digestive system.

Students practice estiminating and measuring angles. After watching a short video, they identify angles in objects in the classroom and their homes. In groups, they participate in activities in which they are given a scenerio and are...

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 experience and visualize first hand the importance of proper hand washing through a hand washing experiment with different temperatures of water and with a different length of time to wash. They prevent food-borne illness and...

Sixth graders conduct a controlled investigation to determine the length of the sun's shadow on a fixed object (i.e., flagpole, telephone pole, etc.) over a three-day period (one day in the fall, one in the winter, and one in the...

Students design and create water rockets using recycled materials. In this technology lesson, students measure and sketch their project design before drawing them using SolidWorks. They construct the bottle as accurately as possible.

In this angles of polygons worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 18 different problems that include determining various interior and exterior angles. First, they determine the measure of various angles described in the first half of...

Second graders explore geometric shapes. In this lesson about geometry, 2nd graders create their own vest using geometric shapes. Students work with a partner and fit their partner for the vest they design. Students understand geometric...

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...

Students engage their critical thinking skills to solve challenging math problems. In these problem solving lessons, student work with tessellations, weights/measurement, reasoning, surface area, geometric shapes, and algebraic procedures.

Students explore pentominoes in this activity. They build shapes as directed and color the tiles on their grid sheet.

Use several shapes to practice finding the perimeter and area. Each page presents examples of different items, including money, the floor plan of a room, and a parking lot.

This two-part reading comprehension exercise asks kids to read a short passage about cubes, rectangular prisms, spheres and pyramids, and then to respond to a series of questions about the article.

Wrap up a lesson on surface area with a resource that asks scholars to use the idea of wrapping paper to investigate surface area. They draw representations of rectangular prisms on graph paper to find the areas of the respective...

The Pythagorean Theorem is a staple of middle school geometry. Scholars first investigate angle relationships, both in triangles and in parallel lines with a transversal, before proving and applying the Pythagorean Theorem.

Individuals consider why is it important to respect family members as they complete a self-respect survey to assess their respectful behaviors at home. They then choose three items from the survey and write about how they plan to improve...

Students explore the concept of scale. In this scale lesson, students create a scale model of a room. Students calculate the area of a room. Students determine what percentage of the room is occupied by furniture.

Fourth graders study the Civil War and discuss what soldiers ate during that time period. In groups, representing Union and Confederate soldiers, they follow recipes, prepare, eat, and share Union hardtack and Confederate Johnnie Cakes.

Second graders learn about plant systems and how plants grow and function. In this plant lesson plan, 2nd graders collect data based on roots, leaves, terrariums, plant uses, and locations of certain kinds of plants. They fill out...

Students collect data, use a computer spreadsheet program to create various graphs, and compare the graphs. They state the findings of each graph in writing and decide which graph type best represents the data.

A well-designed, comprehensive, and attractive slide show supports direct instruction on how sonar and echolocation work. Contained within the slides are links to interactive websites and instructions for using apps on a mobile device to...

Pairs of geometry whizzes work together to determine which of three differently shaped cylinders will have the greatest volume. Pupils cut out the three rectangles embedded in the plan, and tape them together to form a cylinder. From...
