Students examine the differences between elements, compounds and mixtures. Using diagrams, they compare and contrast atoms and molecules and describe various chemical reactions. They distinguish the differences between ionic and...

Students conduct an ice melting investigation in which they observe and measure the melting of two ice spheres. They develop a hypothesis as to which sphere will melt the fastest, collect data every ten minutes, and graph the data using...

Students investigate patterns and functions. In this algebra lesson, students examine the repetition of integers and objects. They create formulas for the repetition and identify them as function using equations.

Readers learn to ask questions about text with an activity based on Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea. As they read, class members craft questions based on Bloom's Taxonomy and then find the answers themselves.

Pupils make a table on the computer, but create fractions and equivalent fractions through the use of color. They are able to manipulate fractions in order to gain a greater understanding of the meaning of whole number that is broken...

Students are introduced to fractions, including operations with fractionsm converting fractions to decimals and percents. They are provided with activities that provide ample practice opportunities to reinforce the information from the...

Students solve multiplication and division problems using Unifix cubes. They explore multiplication and division through equal grouping of objects and sharing. Students discuss the task they completed and share how they completed the...

Fourth graders study fractions. In this fractions instructional activity, 4th graders define fraction-related vocabulary words. Students use beads to study fractions. Students draw shapes to study fraction equivalency and brainstorm...

Students practice simple addition and subtraction. They identify relationships among whole numbers.

Students construct a book to illustrate number concepts. They write their numbers on a sheet of paper. Students in grade 1 discuss counting to 100 by different numbers. Pupils in grades (2-4) write basic addition or subtraction story...

Eighth graders extend skills for representing and solving linear equations to linear inequalities. Lesson activities build understanding and skill by plotting ordered pairs of numbers that either satisfy or do not satisfy a given...

Students use estimation and pencil-paper calculations to help Jack and his mother solve a variety of life problems. They solve problems using various math operations, i.e., addition, subtraction, and measurement.

In this algebraic equations instructional activity, learners read a 2 page explanation of algebraic equations. They then use the information they just learned to solve the following 14 questions in which they solve algebraic equations.

Students are introduced to the notion of a complex number and function iteration in order to motivate the discussion of Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set.

In this place value worksheet, 5th graders have the opportunity to work with a calculator. Students complete 15 problems ordering the correct operation, using greater than and less than, and arranging digits into new numbers.

Third graders view a demonstration of a teeter totter as a basis for assessing pre-knowledge of a lever. They create a KwL chart. Students work in small groups to conduct a variety of experiments. The first requires students to tie books...

Students answer questions after a story is read aloud, identify and recall the three major body parts of a spider (head, body and 8 legs), construct a spider when given parts of a spider on a handout, and draw and decorate a spider using...
