Students are introduced to the Caddo Indians of Texas. Using a compass, they draw a circle given specific dimensions and cut them out. Using the text, they read one section abut the Indians and complete the task listed on one of their...

Ninth graders measure the insulation properties of different fabrics by immersing cans of water covered with fabric "socks" in an ice bath and measuring temperature changes. They then calculate heat loss and graph the data individually.

Young scholars review the relationship between mass and volume is constant for a pure substance under standard conditions. They complete mass and volume worksheets using formulas for calculating density.

Students read "Geographical Mobility: 1995-2000." They examine the maps in the handouts and compare them with maps from an atlas. In the second part of this lesson, students read "In Harm's Way." They receive three more handouts, one a...

Students observe, speculate, analyze and evaluate conclusions about Mississippi River locations as well as illustrate their findings in drawings. They enhance themselves with their surroundings and landscape pictures at various places...

Students identify the implications of Manifest Destiny. In this Westward Expansion lesson, students view a PowerPoint presentation on the topic and then respond to questions based on the details of the presentation.

Students explore the concept of immigration. In this immigration lesson, students read literature, analyze photographs, and evaluate political cartoons that reflect feelings about immigration in America during Industrialization....

Students explore what causes differences in density. They observe an models depecting atoms, compounds, and molecules. Students determine if there is air in between atomic bonds. They study the structure and spacing of molecular bonds.

Students complete various activities in order to explain that ecosystems are complex and that animal behavior (mainly that of a predator) is not necessarily intentional or bad.

High schoolers consider density and how it affects sinking and floating. Students make predictions, test liquids, and observe why some liquids sink and others float. They perform experiments to determine relational causality and how...

High schoolers explore the causes of differences in density. Students choose objects, measure the mass and volume, and calculate the density of each. They perform additional density experiments to model atoms and their correspondence...

Young scholars discover that density is considered a property and that cutting an object in half does not affect its density. They examine the densities of many common substances and make connections.

Learners investigate density and its relationship to air and gas. Students perform experiments to determine if gases have mass. They explore possible ways to figure out the density of gases.

Students explore models of density; wooden balls and marbles discussing whether they think the volume and mass are the same or different. They then compare the density of a loaf of bread that is squished and one that is not compressed.

Students experiment with a jar, plastic bag and a rubber band to perform a science experiment. Students study the photocopy of Thinking About Relational Causality. Students explore the concept of a pressure-related phenomenon that...

Students describe migrations and life cycle pattersn of a key alfalfa pest, the Porato Leafhopper. They define the Economic Inquiry Level and Economic Threshold. Students evaluate data in relation to profit as it applies to IPM. They...

Students explore common law. In this sociology lesson, students discover what constitutes common law unions in Canada and then discuss how common law relationships compare to marriages.

Second graders investigate the effect of melting glaciers to sea level. In this earth science lesson, 2nd graders simulate the process in the lab by conducting an experiment using ice cubes and clay. They explain the consequences of...

Ninth graders analyze lifestyle factors that affect health and demonstrate an awareness of key lifestyle practices associated with prevention of disease.

Students identify the different types of weather conditions that occur in the United States. They discover how to adapt to weather and explain forecast and warning signals.

Students research and examine the lives and culture of western mountain guides during the early to mid 1800s. Students write reports about a guide they research, do a simulation of the guide by keeping a journal, managing money and...

Young scholars examine photographs taken of immigrants during late 1800s and early 1990s in America, and identify factors involved in immigration through examination of primary documents that include statistics, trends, graphs,...

Learners examine the Gilded Age in American history. Using the internet, they research the innovations, business, and immigration during this time period. They create a PowerPoint presentation to share their information with the class.

Students explore how density changes. Students read an article on density. They observe a ball and ring demonstration and discuss the outcome. Students draw models of the demonstration and explain what happened.
