Students define keywords that are important to solve problems. In this geometry lesson plan, students find the arc length and angle of a circle. They convert between radians and degrees.

Students investigate and solve Pythagorean triples. In this geometry lesson plan, students find the missing sides and angles of a right triangle. They graph right triangles and move the sides around to create different angles.

Students investigate the Pythagorean triples. For this geometry lesson, students solve for different parts of a right triangle. They identify the missing side or angle using the pythagorean theorem.

Young scholars investigate graphing a line. In this algebra instructional activity, students collect data on the path of a skateboarder. They collect how fast the board is traveling along a straight line and graph their results.

Students examine what a Wimshurst machine is and how it operates.  In this mechanics lesson students build a Wimshurst machine and watch it in action.

Students study chloroplasts, their structure and evolution.  In this photosynthesis lesson students experiment with polarized light and the production of chlorophyll.

Students analyze an article about fight traffic and answer questions.  In this investigative lesson students study flight and fill out a worksheet pertaining to the information that they just learned. 

Third graders represent fractions as part of a whole. In this fractions lesson, 3rd graders use manipulatives to show how a fraction is a part of a whole. This lesson includes individual practice and an assessment instead of direct...

Seventh graders investigate the mathematical concept of a sector. They apply the concept to an example problem and then move into a more complex application. They find the area of the side of a cone. This is done as students calculate...

Seventh graders complete activities to perform transformations of various figures and describe the transformations. In this transformations lesson, 7th graders perform a translation, a rotation, and a reflection on graph paper. Students...

Third graders use fractions to describe part of a set. For this fractions lesson, 3rd graders are introduced to fractions through a book and use pattern blocks to describe a fraction as a part of a set. This lesson includes a scripted...

For this English worksheet, students read "Superstition Forces Airline Logo Change," and then respond to 47 fill in the blank, 7 short answer, 20 matching, and 8 true or false questions about the selection.

Learners investigate the concepts relating to creating a tessellation. They include using pattern blocks in order to create interconnecting patterns. Students review translations, rotations, and reflections.

Second graders use a checklist to construct a Geo-Town map including a compass rose, a map key, and a paragraph about a walk around Geo-Town, using appropriate geometric and directional vocabulary to identify the two-dimensional figures...

Young scholars view photographs on Web module, practice answering questions of analysis, and identify artistic qualities of photographs by applying the analysis of elements of art.

Students study structural elements of a picture's composition. They scan images and compare the structural elements of the images.

Students recognize how parabolas are used in architecture and calculate a constant of variation.

Students create paper airplanes. They compare and contrast the airplanes created in class and test them out. They adjust their airplanes until they all fly. They discuss the forces that allow flight to occur.

Students develop definition for parabola, explain relationship between properties of the graph of a parabola and its equation, explain how the equation of a parabola can be written in different forms, and solve problems that relate the...

Learners develop a definition of parabola and explain the relationship between the properties of the graph of a parabola and its equation. They explain how the equation of a parabola can be written in different forms and solve problems...

Students view examples of man-made structures and create a building that matches the style. Using the internet, they research the style of Frank Lloyd Wright and create plans for creating their own community. They use a painting of...

Students participate in a class discussion about Bernoulli's principle while looking at cross-sections of an airplane wing, and discussing the sail on a sailboat and the spoiler on a race car.

Students use funnels to put the five solid materials into clear bottles with caps. They observe how the particulate materials look, sound, and move when they shake and roll the bottle. Finally, students write "sound and touch" poetry.
