The learners choose and read a Native American Folktale, analyze and sequence the story-line using a graphic organizer, then make a "woven" story blanket (from construction paper) depicting character, plot (including problem) and outcome.

Students estimate how many games are played if six teams play each other once. They investigate their own way and discuss possible strategies they might use. They then share their findings with the class.

Fifth graders examine how anatomical adaptations make it possible for a bird to survive in various habitats. They discuss and list birds and their unique characteristics, and create an imaginary bird, illustrating the environmental...

Students examine standards for obtaining a license to run a day care. They study ratios for age groups and answer questions on improving public policy. They identify current childcare licensing standards and laws and what they could...

Sixth graders examine the use of probability and compare it to actual real world results. In groups, they flip a coin a specific number of times while their other group members roll a set of dice the same amount of times as the coin. To...

Students collect water samples from a local source, test it, filter it and identify the materials suspended in it. Students disucss the possible sources of sediment in their watershed.
