Students research the four geologic eras of Earth's history. In this extension on a fossils lesson, students research the different eras of Earth's history. Students use AppleWorks to create a bar graph containing information of the four...

Seventh graders use accessible technology to explore active research projects currently taking place, choose a current research project to study and create a presentation using the information that they have gathered.

Learners work together to create a model of the Earth. They label and identify each layer and describing its properties. They discover how engineers use models to test different concepts.

Students investigate the biodiversity found along the coast of South Africa. They conduct research using a variety of resources. They use the information in order to write lab reports with the data. The instructional activity can be...

In this ESL conversation about school worksheet, students complete a dictation activity and read and discuss several articles about various aspects of school. A reference web site is included.

In this Solar System Investigate, young scholars will determine ways to order the planets. Teacher directed inquiry will suggest that they first order the planets according to their distance from the sun. Students will then work on their...

These weekly activities are cross-curricular but emphasize Social-Emotional Learning, Math, and Literacy development. This week children will learn that they can make choices that can reduce their impacts on the land, water, air, and...

This is a student led activity in which students have to accomplish the task of choosing the most entertaining way to relay written expository information. Art/self expression along with technology are utilized to develop a classroom...

Practice Space Math! Math is the cornerstone of space travel. Familiarize yourself with all the ways math can help you study the solar system. Practice math problems in areas such as speed of light, the distance of planets to the sun,...

Use this activity to teach students to represent numbers in scientific notation, and use geometry to solve problems related to three-dimensional figures. Explore distance and capacity problems about planets in the solar system. The...

Demonstrate the ability to apply the use of decimals, fractions, ratios and proportions to situations based upon given information about planets in the solar system.

Explains how simple polygons translate into matrices and how to use 2x2 matrices to represent transformations in a plane. Includes video demonstrating an example where a vector must be rotated 90 degrees using matrices. [4:18]

Get information about solving systems of equations in three variables by viewing examples and a video lesson. [6:35]

An exponential function is a nonlinear function that has the form of y=a*b^x, where a != 0, b > 0. An exponential function with a > 0 and b > 1, like the one above, represents an exponential growth and the graph of an...

A system of linear inequalities in two variables consists of at least two linear inequalities in the same variables. The solution of a linear inequality is the ordered pair that is a solution to all inequalities in the system and the...

The absolute value of a number a is written as |a| and represents the distance between a and 0 on a number line. An absolute value equation is an equation that contains an absolute value expression. The equation |x|= a has two solutions...

This resource is about factorizing trinomials of the form x^2+bx+c by making them into a product of two binomials x^2+bx+c=(x+m)(x+n) where m+n=b and m*n=c

You can factor polynomials of the form ax^2 + bx + c. If a is positive, then ax^2+bx+c=(x+m)(ax+n) where c = m*n, a*c = p*q and b = p+q = a*m + n

A nonlinear function that can be written on the standard form ax^2 + bx + c,where a is not = 0, is called a quadratic function. All quadratic functions hava a U-shaped graph called a parabola.

A quadratic equation is an equation that can be written on the standard form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a is not = 0. One way of solving a quadratic equation is by factoring. Another way of solving a quadratic equation is to solve it...

Students learn about the distance and relative size of the rest of the planets compared to the Earth and Sun. The lesson plan includes an assessment and extension activities.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart contains a cumulative math review for each day of the week.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Use this flipchart to review math facts. Each student goes to the board and gets a math problem to solve on the baseballs. The class then votes whether the answers are correct. This flipchart can be...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart reviews multiple math concepts in a baseball game format. It was created to be used as a daily math review (in place of calendar math) for a 2nd grade classroom.
