First graders explore patterns in mathematical context. In this patterns lesson, 1st graders inspect patterns shown to them, copy patterns, complete patterns and create patterns of their own. These patterns are shown by actions, drawing,...

Learners perform translation and reflection. They identify the coordinate points of the new graph and create a formula for the movement. They identify the pre-image the and after image.

Third graders study and diagram the positions of the Earth and sun during the four seasons. They predict weather for cities in the northern and southern hemispheres.

In this museum student guide worksheet, students make a mini-book about simple machines to be used during a visit to the Museum of Science and Industry. They locate the exhibits that demonstrate the wedge, inclined plane, screw, lever,...

Students examine the importance of good quality safety gear. In this investigative lesson, students will tests various polymers, collect data, and analyze the data to determine which polymer is best for safety helmets. They will design a...

In this SAT practice test activity, 12th graders answer 10 short answer questions. Questions are from a variety of topics, but mainly ask about geometry concepts. The test is self-scoring.

Students explore graphs and define the different ways they are used to display data. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and plot their data using the correct graph. They draw conclusions from their graphs based on their data.

Fifth graders, in groups, create paper bag "globes", complete with magnetic poles. They use compasses to determine and label various locations (N. and S. Poles, Prime Meridian, Equator, etc.) and finish it by drawing in the continents...

Sixth graders graph translations (slides) and reflections (flips) on a coordinate plane. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders write a paragraph telling...

First graders analyze characteristics of geometric shapes. They identify, describe, and create simple geometric figures. They analyze characteristics of geometric shapes and determine the defining attributes of a circle,...

Students construct a dichotomous key using 10 shoes from students in the classroom. For this dichotomous key lesson plan, students use the chalk board and their pile of 10 shoes to create a dichotomous key. They divide the shoes into 2...

In this trigonometry worksheet, students use triangle trignometry to solve problems in order to find the missing length, angle, or area of the triangle. The one page worksheet contains five ...

Sixth graders design two different solar ovens to learn about heat transfer. They investigate the movement of heat between objects by conduction, convection, and radiation. They become aware of things they can't control, like the...

Students model and solve a real-world problem by constructing the centroid of a triangle. They explore relationships of the medians of a triangle and investigate how the centroid partitions each of the medians. Students investigate...

In this vocabulary worksheet, students explore word meanings. Students determine the vocabulary word meaning for each of the ten sentences.

Students study trees in their natural habitat. In this tree lesson, students complete a number of outdoor activities to estimate the height of a tree, examine how bark can be a distinguishing tree characteristic, and how to make a bark...

Students practice fencing skills. In this physical education lesson, students develop fencing skills. Students watch a movie clip that shows fencing and then they begin their lessons. Students discover the rules and proper positioning...

Seventh graders create motion graphs using a motion sensor. In this physics lesson, 7th graders match the graph shown by moving their body. They relate the slope to the way they moved.

Students explore linear graphs, the parabola and the rectangular hyperbola.
