Students design a rectangular box without a lid that has the largest possible volume using the supplied sheet of centimeter graph paper. They work in groups to construct different size boxes to determine the largest possible volume and...

Seventh graders design possible dream house layouts. In this architecture instructional activity, 7th graders use sketch paper and a ruler to develop several rough sketches of a dream house. Students discuss how to use a scale for...

If you are planning a unit on military history that includes a comparison between the Vietnam War and the Iraq War, this resource may be useful. It lists possible sources for pupils to use to complete the graphic organizer which prepares...

Remember reading "The Lottery" and "The Possibility of Evil" by Shirley Jackson? Learners can experience and analyze the tension, themes, and human experience found in these pieces through reading and class discussion. They use...

Young scholars read current event article with the purpose of highlighting possible questions and answers for the Jeopardy game. Each student picks a question and answer to use in the game.

Sixth graders identify the major obstacles in farming in Mesopotamia. They work together to design and build a model that solves these problems. They write a short essay that describes the problems and their possible solutions.

Sixth graders classify numbers as abundant, deficient, or perfect based on the relationship between the number and its factors. They review factor game using the completed lab sheet. When playing the factor game which type of numbers...

Eighth graders explore problem solving strategies to build a paper bridge with a partner. As a class they discuss a variety of techniques to solve a simple problem, then in pairs construct the longest non-supported single span bridge...

Ever wonder why your special-needs or autistic learners have out bursts in class? Use this ABC Data collection sheet to determine the antecedent, behavior, and consequence to help you determine a possible function for your student's...

Do your historians fully grasp the consequences of being at war? Help them connect past with present through this group research activity, which has students analysing repercussions suffered by citizens of countries in conflict. Students...

Students create a survey to hand out to determine the best field day park. Using their local area, they select five parks, if possible, that meet the criteria and calculate the distance and estimated time travel. They use this...

Learners plan a family fitness outing. In this physical education instructional activity, students will research possible physical activities which might be completed by a family during a daily-long outing in the Appalachian area....

Read a Hans Wilhelm story and complete creative writing activities. Start by reading Tyrone, the Horrible and discuss the behavior in the book. Then split your class into groups to create a "bully" situation and discuss possible...

Pupils keep a garden journal after planting a garden and discuss environmental stresses put upon the garden for growth. In this garden lesson plan, students plant the plants differently from one another and observe the outcomes.

Third graders flip a dime and a quarter to record and predict the probability of possible outcomes.

Young scholars look for patterns to solve problems involving statistics using different colored gumballs. They should be able to look for and find out all the possible outcomes based upon inference and trials.

Second graders use tree diagrams to predict the possible outcomes of coin tosses. The data they collect and graph also help them predict the likelihood of getting heads or tails when tossing coins the next time.

Students are able to assess a problem and use systematic methods to solve the problem. They also find out all the possible outcomes for a sequence of events using tree diagrams.

Young scholars try some new exercises involving probability. These are, first of all, that the probability of getting a given total when two dice are rolled is equal to the number of possible ways of getting that total, divided by 36...

Third graders focus on developing a systematic approach to problem solving while working on a problem that requires them to determine possible outcomes. They use a pegboard as a manipulative in this problem.

Eighth graders investigate the basic concepts of probability. In this probability lesson, 8th graders learn the associated probability. They work with spinners, colored cubes in a bag, flip coins, and choose colored candies while they...

Learners collect data and analyze it. In this statistics lesson, students make predictions using different outcomes of trials.

For this lunar cratering worksheet, learners use probability to determine the outcome of coin flipping. They use this to represent the probability that asteroids will strike the moon in already cratered areas.

Students read about a Native American dice game online. They make replica games, and practice playing with them. They predict the outcome of the dice rolls by completing a dice throw chart.
