This lesson offers an interesting, hands-on experience for middle school students studying cylinders. Students will create cylinders, and measure and compare their volumes.

This all-interactive MSM 6 course is a complete and rigorous Grade 6 Mathematics course where the text is the support material, NOT the main content. The course includes instructional interactives, inline immediate-feedback (formative)...

Students observe reactions of liquids with different known powders in this lesson. Unknown powders are then identified using characteristic chemical changes.Site includes a procedure, teacher instructions, and video instruction.

Lesson plan in which students design an experiment to determine if different types of liquids affect the amount of dissolution of an M&M candy shell.

Lesson plan with mulitmedia links in which students identify and control variables to help design a solubility test for different liquids in water.

Complete biographical sketch of Cesar Chavez, founder of the United Farm Worker's (UFW) in 1962. Provides a detailed discussion of his early life, his family, and his work with labor issues.

Media-rich lesson in which students discover that it takes energy to break bonds, and that energy is released when bonds are formed during the process of dissolving. They also determine whether dissolving is either exothermic or...

After observing a demonstration of a chemical reaction between a burning candle and the oxygen in the air, students use atom model cut-outs to model the reaction and see that all the atoms in the reactants show up in the products.

Learners use their own model of a salt crystal and water molecule to show how water dissolves salt. Then, they relate their observations to the structure of salt, water, and alcohol on the molecular level.

Students first observe a solubility test between salt and sugar. Next, they design their own solubility test with four known crystals and an unknown to discover the identity of the unknown.

Young scholars investigate the concept of a precipitate by combining two clear, colorless solutions that produce a solid.

Students observe, describe, and draw a model on the molecular level, showing how energy is transferred from one substance to another through conduction.

Learners draw and interpret Lewis dot diagrams for individual atoms and both covalent and ionic compounds.

Young scholars observe and describe, on the molecular level, how heating and cooling affect the motion of molecules in a solid.

This site contains lessons using Geometer's Sketch Pad for elementary and middle school aged students.

Check out this informative site featuring an analysis of Shakespeare. The objective of this activity is for students to analyze a sonnet and present their findings via slide show. This lesson integrates technology into the curriculum.

Students identify and control variables to design an experiment to see whether the temperature of a solvent affects the speed at which a solute dissolves.

Students interpret the information given in the periodic table to describe the arrangement of electrons on the energy levels around an atom.

A six-part learning module with links to images, videos, texts, and websites to use while learning the elements and types of drama.

The details of Longfellow's life, and the influence of his "Paul Revere's Ride" are explored in this lesson. Extensive materials, links and background information are strengths of this site.

This lesson plan deals with tessellations and their geometric concepts. Upper elementary and middle school students will also explore polygons, symmetry, analyze patterns and explore the role of mathematics in nature and culture.

This robust lesson plan for upper elementary and middle school grades introduces the concepts for lines, rays, line segments, and planes. Resources are linked to it and ready for your use.

This collection of plans is designed for 7th grade, and includes interdisciplinary ideas for use in the classroom. Also included are student handouts and copies of the poems.
