Are you feeling weighed down by your current gravitation presentation? Assign a hands-on interactive instead! Physics scholars work through a series of progressively harder questions about mass, distance, and gravity using an online...

Here is a simple, yet well-designed worksheet on the parts of a snail for your young biologists. Learners label the five parts of a snail using words that appear on the worksheet. Then, they circle the words on the bottom of the...

Review advanced grammar concepts with this standard online interactive multiple choice quiz. Young grammarians must know simple grammar principles such as verbs, prepositions and adverbs as well as higher-level knowledge like passive vs....

A basic set-up leads to a surprisingly complex analysis in this variation on the question of surrounding a central circle with a ring of touching circles. Useful for putting trigonometric functions in a physical context, as well as...

Serve up a slice of math for Pi Day! A combination of fun, hands-on lessons and helpful worksheets encourage learners to practice finding the radius, diameter, and circumference of different circles.

It's all about lines when going around. Pupils graph the relationship between the length of a side of a square and its perimeter. Class members explain the origin in context of the side length and perimeter. They compare the graph to the...

In this circles learning exercise, 7th graders identify and complete 6 different problems that include determining various parts of a circle. First, they identify and define each circle term listed on the left. Then, students color each...

In this finding fractional parts word problem learning exercise, students draw and color to problem solve. Students solve six problems.

In this parts of a group worksheet, students write the fraction for how many shapes are shaded in the group. Students complete 8 problems.

Students locate the parts of a book and respond to a read aloud of that book. In this literacy lesson, students participate in an interactive read aloud of Nadia's Hands in which they locate the cover and title of the book. They discuss...

Use segmented shapes to introduce scholars to fractions before they even have learned about numerators and denominators (although this is a great way to introduce these terms!). The first section has four multiple-choice problems:...

Calling all fraction novices! Use sets of objects to introduce scholars to fractions before they even have learned about numerators and denominators (but this is a great way to introduce these terms!). The first section has four...

Round and round we go. Learners first complete a task on writing equations of circles. They then take part in a collaborative activity categorizing a set of equations for circles based on the radius and center.

Can you move like a photon? Young scholars use a maze to reproduce the straight line motion of a photon. The second in a six-part series of lessons on the sun has learners measure angle of incidence and refraction to determine the path...

There are so many wonderful parts to an animal: fur, antlers, tails, and legs, to name a few. A large diagram of an antelope is used to start a matching game, where the class matches body parts made of the same material. They discuss...

Explore the volume of solids with a real-life connection. Learners calculate the volume of a deep-dish slice of pizza to determine its price. They model the slice as a part of a cylinder and create a formula for calculating the cost.

Explication may sound like a fancy word, but it's just a fancy way to say analysis. Using a handout on poetry explications, part of a larger series on specific writing assignments, writers learn how to break down and analyze a poem. The...

Don't run from the resource—sprint to it. Using an engaging performance task, scholars consider a set of constraints on the creation of a track. Given several possible designs, they determine if the designs meet the constraints. If not,...

Students review the parts of a circle, calculate the circumference and area of a circle, and create student-made tests on the geometry of circles using educational software.

Young geometers flex their transformation muscles in this brief but powerful exercise using dilations and translations to develop the similarity of circles. The plan provides guidelines to help learners navigate a pair of...

Sixth graders discover what circumference is.  In this measurement lesson, 6th graders identify the radius and diameter of different circles. Students discover how to find the area of a circle using the radius and diameter.
