Sometimes a test page loaded with text can make a student's face go blank. Help them decipher what a text question is asking with a series of tips focused on reading comprehension, vocabulary, and language arts mechanics.

Delve into the middle of calculus. The resource is the second eBook of three that covers the complete calculus content. Seven chapters begin with integrals and different methods of integration before moving on to differential equations....

Learn about constructing figures, proofs, and transformations. The seventh unit in a course of nine makes the connections between geometric constructions, congruence, and proofs. Scholars learn to construct special quadrilaterals,...

Everyone loves a good mystery ... can your class actually solve one? Partnered pupils take on the role of forensic investigators during a three-part activity focusing on DNA evidence processing. Learners discover the methods used to...

Gain information about Clara Barton, a Civil War hero, and enhance reading comprehension skills with a worksheet that challenges scholars to read an informational passage and answer five short answer questions.  

In this recognizing patterns worksheet, learners identify problems with patterns and draw the number of pencils that most likely come next. Students solve four problems.

Learners gather information about gene sequencing. In this biology instructional activity, students use the Internet to access information about gene sequencing, then work in pairs to read and record a gene sequence. Lesson includes...

Students analyze DNA sequence differences between organisms in order to establish a reasonable picture of the evolutionary relationships between them. They take the role of molecular biologists and make genetic changes and constructing...

Students explore the Sanger sequencing method which produces a nested set of radioactive fragments from a template strand. They simulate the Sanger method of sequencing DNA, both visually and kinesthetically.

In this algebra activity, 9th graders analyze patterns and figure out the next number or pattern in the series using explicit and recursive formulas. There are 44 questions with an answer key.

In this algebra worksheet, students solve sequences using the geometric mean for sequences and series. They have to find the next number in the pattern using the formula for geometric means. There are 23 problems to be solved.

Ninth graders use this activity to simulate the sequencing of gene and to detect the presence of possible genetic defects. They use diagrams that represent bands of nucleotides in order to determine the sequence of a small piece of the...

Students place events in sequence and assign relative times to each event. They gain an understanding of relative and numerical time and become familiar with the methods used by scientists to develop the Geologic Time Scale.

For this pyramid graphic organizer worksheet,students use the story organizer to sequence the events in a story. Students describe the five parts of the story.

In this discovering new planets learning exercise, students read about how the Kepler spacecraft detects new planets by observing the dimming of light emitted by stars as the planets pass in front of them. Students solve 2 problems using...

In this sequences and probability activity, students solve 3 problems by writing out all the possibilities for the solution and they use probability to find their answers. They determine the probability of solar flares happening on a...

In this filling in the blanks and sequencing learning exercise, learners use words from the word box to complete the sentences and number the pictures to show the order of events in the short story. Learners write 8 answers.

In this identifying words spelled with "-ang" activity, students use the word bank to fill in the blanks with -ang words and then number the pictures in order. Students write 9 answers.

In this algebra worksheet, students solve word problems using algebra to rewrite and solve for the next number in the sequence. There is an answer key.

In this counting activity, students count items in sequence and circle the total. Students recognize and choose from numbers 2-5 and determine the total amount.

Students count and keep track of objects using one-to-one correspondence. By moving, touching and pointing to objects they organize counting to determine the number in a set accurately. This helps students to practice the skill of...

Seventh graders practice dramatic acting skills, using three words - why, oh, and sorry in different contexts. Working in groups of two or three, they create scenes in which the three words are the only ones spoken and are used to convey...

Fourth graders complete a unit of lessons on the first seven presidents of the U.S. They conduct research, write a four-paragraph essay, and create posters and speeches for a simulated campaign convention.

Sixth graders study number patterns. They observe dominoes to determine the next domino in the sequence. After studying the dominoes, they write an expression to represent the pattern.
