Middle schoolers explore geometry by completing a physics activity on-line. In this mass measurement lesson, pupils define the terms mass, volume, and density and identify their relationship with each other. They complete an on-line...

First graders explore geometry by completing a worksheet in class. In this non-standard measurement unit instructional activity, 1st graders discuss different techniques for measuring items without the use of a ruler. Students read...

Students explore physics by conducting a class experiment. In this density lesson, students examine a list of items and discuss whether they will sink or float and then determine their density. Students examine the objects over five days...

In this basic mathematics worksheet, students locate and identify various vocabulary terms related to measurement. There are ten words/phrases located in the puzzle.

Middle schoolers explain that while cities have unattractive features, the density of human life enables energy efficiency, mass transit, recycling, and other benefits which are difficult or impossible in rural areas. This is the fifth...

For this measuring lines worksheet, students measure 6 lines and write the answers in centimeters and millimeters. Students measure 10 other listed objects and give their answers in large and small units.

The set for a play combines design elements (style, line, shape, mass, measure, position, color, and texture) and principles of composition (unity, harmony, contrast, variation, balance, proportion, and emphasis) to create a particular...

Students explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. In this surface area lesson plan, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons. Students...

Students explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry instructional activity, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Students use hands-on activities to explore transformations. They view a video segment that demonstrate how M. C. Escher employed geometry and transformations to create so many of his famous drawings.

Third graders explore tessellations and the spatial concepts used in creating them.  In this tessellations lesson, 3rd graders rotate, reflect and transform shapes to create tessellations.  Students become familiar with the...

Students explore the solar system. For this planets lesson, students learn about the other planets in the solar system. They watch a video clip from National Geographic on the solar system, compare and contrast the planets and create a...

Students recognize the three main types of clouds. For this clouds lesson, students create a cloud mobile to understand clouds.

Students explore clouds.  In this weather lesson, students identify the steps in the water cycle, define condensation and evaporation, and relate this information to cloud formation.  Students perform a cloud experiment,...

Learners analyze the architecture of the Red and Blue House in The Netherlands. In this architecture analysis lesson, students analyze The Schroder House and complete discussion questions. Learners also complete follow up activities,...

Students explore engineering by participating in a mechanical class activity. In this simple machines lesson, students identify many simple machines that allow them to perform tasks easily each day. Students collaborate in small groups...

The history and marketing of pop music is the subject of this lesson. Students first read an article detailing definitions and historical shifts of pop music in society. The activity then provides students with a few comprehension-level...

Students discover the focal point in pictures and create their own images using lines and space.  In this art analysis instructional activity, students create a black dot on a white paper which becomes a focal point for the lines...

Students create a torn paper landscape and use it to study clouds. In this cloud study and art instructional activity, students make a background art image from torn paper. Students create a torn paper landscape and use cotton balls to...

Students study and illustrate clouds. In this cloud study lesson, students study clouds and then illustrate what they see. Students use their imaginations to interpret images from the cloud picture they drew.

Students create their own timeline. In this social science instructional activity, students write the important events that happened in their lives on their timeline and then compare their timeline to Earth's timeline.
