Students measure, weigh, and document the amount of trash and garbage generated by the school for one day. They brainstorm solutions for trash in the area and assist with the school-wide recycle program.

Students plan and design their project idea and demonstrate what their product looks like. They make a set of instructions describing a process that could be used to manufacture this product in an industrial setting. Students are given...

Students examine computerized data maps in order to create graphs of the amount of snowfall found at certain latitudes by date. Then they compare the graphs and the data they represent. Students present an analysis of the graphs.

Students compare and contrast the English and Metric system. In this chemistry lesson, students demonstrate how to convert English to metric and vise versa. They solve problems following the rules of significant figures.

Students gather scientific data and be able to utilize the data to generalize results over a long period of time. They use the appropriate tools to measure quanities of liquids and analyze the data to determine the cost of a leaky faucet.

Young scholars sort Lego Duplo pieces after determining the attributes to classify them by. They work in pairs to sort a group of Duplo pieces and explain their process to others.

Students calculate the moment of inertia of a disc. In this physics lesson, students differentiate the two methods used in finding the inertia. They construct their own pendulum for the lab.

Students discuss why the ocean is salty. They discuss what salinity is. Students are told that is they want to know how much salt is in a body or water, they would use a special scientific tool. They complete an Estuarine Layers science...

Students examine how heat moves from substance to another.  In this heat absorption lesson students identify ways that heat is transferred and analyze data.

Students find the percent composition of sugar in the gum. In this chemistry lesson, students calculate percent error from the experiment. They use dimensional analysis to convert between units.

Students explore geometric shapes. In this math lesson plan, students identify geometric and non-geometric shapes using the computer. Students research geometric shapes in art and architecture.

Students explore regular geometric shapes. In this shapes instructional activity, students investigate geometric shapes in the world around them. Students differentiate between regular and irregular shapes.

Learners make observations on the effects of a small, medium and large weight on the movement of a wig-wag apparatus. They use their observations to develop a generalized inference of the effect weight on movement patterns.

n this geometric lesson, students define and identify two dimensional shapes based on their attributes. They complete worksheets based on the geometric concepts.

Your class is asked to use inverse operations to solve eleven equations for unknown variables or to rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest. By using the same reasoning as solving one- and two-step equations, algebra...

Explore the concept of multiplication by using arrays. Classmates use arrays to gain a better understanding of multiplication. They break arrays apart to model the distributive property of multiplication over addition. The relationship...

Students design and create robotic cars using Legos and the Robolab program. They hold a "snail race" where the slowest car that can be determined to be actually moving is the winner.
