Pupils create a table of values to graph a line. In this algebra lesson, students identify the slope and intercept of a linear equation. They use a Ticalculator to graph their function.

Students identify a plant in a given community and make a variety of measurements. They determine how a plant meets its basic needs. In addition to identifying plant parts, they observe seasonal change and compare plants within a community.

Students design and build a balance using LEGO, string, and a set of standard metric weights.

Students answer questions about how microorganisms can affect our food supply and how they can be controlled. The first set of inquiry activities are directed by the teacher. Subsequent activities are based on students generating their...

Students use a modified version for the steps of writing.

Ninth graders read a novel for their foreign language class which is also used in their history class. In groups, they work together to complete stations and other assignments.

Students program previously constructed bumper cars to keep bumping and reversing indefinitely. They use touch sensors attached to separate ports and complete a worksheet.

Students develop and conduct an experiment to answer the question," How does cardiovascular exercise affect the pulse rate?". They record the changes to heart rate during different levels of exercise.

Eleventh graders analyze the cultural and social aspects of the 1950s. Using primary source documents, they work together to determine what society was like. They use that information to write an essay about how their information...

Students explore events of the Lewis & Clark expedition. Students observe a PowerPoint presentation. They demonstrate journal writing using first person point of view. Students describe life in North America during the early 1800s.

Students measure the angles of wings and tails of various aircraft using a protractor. They estimate and check their measurements. They investigate aircraft being developed and tested at NASA Dryden.

Students investigate chords and make predictions. In this geometry lesson plan, students graph circles and calculate the measurement of each chord. They perform the calculations and make conjectures.

Students solve several differential equations. In this calculus activity, students test their modulus calculation by testing different weights or beam lengths. They share their findings in class.

Students construct a bridge that can hold 100 pennies. For this math lesson, students evaluate the strength of their bridges. They predict how much weight a bridge can hold based on its design.

This article discusses the design process from the concept phase to the production phase and what's involved in accomplishing this in the shortest possible time with the least cost.

Teaching middle and high school students how to weigh constraints and criteria against various design solutions in order to select the best possible solution is an important skill necessary for engineering, as well as for life. The...

Practice what you have learned about identifying externalities and using graphs to identify both market equilibrium and socially optimal outcomes in this exercise.
