In this algebra activity, students review geometric and algebraic concepts for the state exam at the end of the year. They discuss factoring and volumes, prisms and measuring. There are over 16 pages of questions on this lesson.

Students create three-dimension models demonstrating exponents, multiplying and dividing of fractions, and the use of repeating patterns in tessellations, mirror images, and tiling.

Students explore the observable properties of matter. They develop two binary classification systems using concrete objects. based on two different properties of the concrete objects.

Students explore magnetism. They make observations of everyday items regarding their magnetic attraction and use their experiences to make a prediction.

High schoolers view a video clip about special effects. They use geometry to determine how it changes one's perspective. They work together to construct their own room and comparing their room with other groups, noting the type of...

Students investigate how seeds sprout. In this scientific inquiry lesson plan, students make predictions on which seeds will grow the fastest and observe the seeds over a period of time. Observations are recorded into a journal.

Students understand the stages of a plants life. In this stages of plant development instructional activity, students read about bean plants and grow their own. Students record growth and photograph changes in their plants. Students...

Students construct a water filter. In this engineering lesson, students discover how to construct a water filtration system. Students work in groups to sort tools by their properties. Students analyze and construct a water filtration...

High schoolers construct a water table elevation contour map and consider the direction and rate of groundwater flow to predict the actual runoff pattern. They discuss their findings and evaluate a hypothetical landfill site based on...

In this math worksheet, students will work independently to trace a stencil on an x-axis. Then students will follow a procedure to trace the image on the horizontal line of reflection. Students will observe that reflections and rotations...

In this state testing worksheet, students solve problems on a variety of topics studied throughout the year.  They find the median, solve algebraic equations, solve proportions, simplify expressions, find percents, and complete...

Students conduct a hands-on experiment growing crystals to demonstrate the nature of science as inquiry. They discuss and test variables that affect crystal growth. They research mineral crystallization and mineral formation on the...

Students are asked have they ever seen a pig? They are asked what are young pigs called? Students are given the Pigs Display Sheet. They see that on the sheet there are two piglets and their mother. Students are told that mother pigs are...

Students in a Kindergarten class measure each other's height using large building blocks and then visit a 2nd and a 4th grade class to measure those students. They display the results in bar graphs, comparing the different age groups.

Middle schoolers measure the dimensions of different sizes of paper. Using a copy machine, they discover dilations. After enlarging and shrinking particular copies, students examine rates, ratios and percentages and discover the...

Students participate in an experiment to measure the weight of air by measuring the weight of the mass it displaces. They lift up a desk and a textbook using a toilet plunger, and calculate the weight of the air, or air pressure.
