Students brainstorm the different uses of petroleum distillates. In this chemistry lesson plan, students explain the process of fractional distillation. They analyze the impact of oil extraction to the environment.

Add another strategy to the toolboxes of young mathematicians with this elementary math activity on using number lines to add and subtract fractions.

Students define and review techniques for integration by parts. In this calculus lesson, students solve rational expression using integration and apply the partial fraction rule. They practice solving  problems online. 

When your upper elementary or middle school class is learning about chemical changes, these activities help demonstrate the concepts. In Part A, they submerge and place a nail partially underwater, then after a week they make...

Oceans absorb half of the carbon dioxide and 80 percent of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Scholars learn how and why the oceans store heat more effectively than land and how they help mitigate global warming. Pupils...

Young scholars examine finding the sum of an infinite series as the limit of partial sums. Through hands-on activities, students create their own sequence by finding the area of a square and then cutting it in half-sized pieces. They...

Fifth graders solve division problems using partial quotients. In this long division lesson, 5th graders practice seeing division as a process of repeated subtraction and estimation. This lesson provides a script for the teacher.

Second graders explore fraction with Cuisenaire Rods. In this fraction lesson, 2nd graders recieve "recipe" cards for adding fractions. After practicing, students create their own cards then exchange  with each other to...

Third graders examine the attributes of Canadian legends by reading both Internet and written versions. They examine Arctic animals in order to determine which one they will write about. They work in pairs to write the first half of a...

This unit introduces a number of important concepts relating to fractions. The first of these is that fractions represent parts of regions and sets and so are useful in a large variety of situations. Whole numbers are not enough by...

Students participate in various activities to encourage speaking. They design a board game using the questions, dice and counters. Students are given partial information about a topic. They exchange information with their classmates...

Students explore the four seasons. In this seasons lesson, students create a class tree. Students make leaves for the tree for each of the seasons. Students mark their paper into fourths and draw a picture of the seasons.

Third graders examine items that make sounds. When given craft sticks, 3rd graders practice making different sounds with them. Sticks are rubbed together or placed partially on a desk and plucked. Afterward, students discuss the types of...

Give your pupils a front row seat at the biggest light show in the sky this year! In addition to admiring the total solar eclipse, young astronomers can explain the phenomenon with a little help from an inquiry-based lesson. The focus of...

Middle schoolers find the area of three figure by the traditional formulaic methods. Then they count the number of grid squares to double check. They show an intuitive sense of Pick's Algorithm by counting every two boundary squares as...

Students solve word problems and determine quotients of fractions and mixed numbers. They practice multiplying fractions by increasing a recipe found on a food website. In addition, they increase the numbers to feed the whole class a...

Here is a comprehensive package in which middle schoolers learn about types of seismic waves, triangulation, and tectonic plate boundaries. Complete vocabulary, colorful maps, and a worksheet are included via links on the webpage. You...
