Students solve real life scenarios using math. In this geometry lesson, students collect, predict and interpret data. They measure a chair using different measurements and choose what would make the chair the best design.

Eighth graders research highway designs and create a marble maze to illustrate a highway system. They test their designs and write reports defining the project and analyzing the results.

Students explore a case study of a hearing impaired person. They evaluate obstacles the patient may face in a school setting. Students determine strategies to help the patient adapt to his hearing loss. They present their solutions to...

Young scholars investigate zen. In this design lesson plan, students use ideas from zen to create a study area. Young scholars understand how different environments affect work habits. Students research how young scholars in other...

Learners solve and verify the solution for unknown measures. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of circles. They use the arc, angle and segment relationship to find the missing measures.

Students examine the difference between psychological needs and wants to control spending.

Sixth graders examine and investigate the solar system. They participate in a Webquest, and create a Powerpoint presentation that is meant to be a research guide to help alien visitors find a suitable habitat in the solar system.

Students name objects that are the same size, shape, and weight as the human brain. They touch the model brain, feeling the folds, etc. They make connections to the chart displaying the brain-like objects. They touch the 'potato flake'...

Learners graph system of linear inequalities in this lesson. Your class will use the Inequality Graphing App to enter linear programming functions into the calculator that can be stored for later use. They then determine the maximum for...

Students investigate patters for area and perimeter. In this Algebra I/Geometry lesson plan, students explore two different patterns as they write a formula for the nth term of each pattern. Students graph their results and determine if...

Learners use a Colorimetric test to measure pH and gain the importance to life in an aquatic ecosystem pH is. They explore the dramatic effect pH level can have on a water body. Learners test the pH level of many water samples.

In this ESL activity worksheet, students consider cultural differences as they read a paragraph and find its text in the word maze.

Students learn how a pendulum works in the concept of an amusement park ride. In this pendulum lesson, students are introduced to Newton's first law of motion and how it works in an amusement park ride. Continuous motion and inertia are...

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

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

Students explain the complexity of resource, land use, and conservation decisions.

Eighth graders collect data from Bottle Biology compost columns and record using Excel spreadsheet.

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 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 define the term acid rain, and the causes of acid rain. They locate regions where acid rain is most affected, and what can students deduce from maps of geology and soils in New York State. Students answer the questions why are...

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.

Students identify the differences between non-renewable and renewable energy sources. They construct a PVC wind turbine and design a set of blades to extract as much energy as possible from low and high wind conditions.

In this alphabet and numbers worksheet, students cut out and place in sequential order the uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers a-z and 1-10.

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