Students investigate how the age of sedimentary strata is determined. In this sedimentary strata lesson, students work through problems that show that geological history covers millions of years. They distinguish between relative and...

Young scholars research the ancient Olympic Games. In this Olympic Games lesson plan, students discuss Pierre de Coubertin, Greek culture, and ancient Olympia. Young scholars complete two readings. Students write an essay about the...

Students collect data on different events and word problems. In this algebra lesson, students use a table to organize their data. They graph their coordinate pairs on a coordinate plane and make predictions.

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 reflect on the events of the year 2000 by creating timelines that note memorable events in the news and in their won private lives. They combine individual timelines into a larger classroom timeline.

Tenth graders investigate the historical events surrounding the founding of the European Union. The teacher provides a handout to guide the lesson and research. They answer questions verbally in the form of a class discussion. The...

Middle schoolers are introduced to the concept of probability. In groups, they make a prediction about how many times a coin might show heads or tails when flipped. They carry out the experiment and record their results to compare it to...

Sixth graders study the probability of single events. Given a bag of marbles, they discuss and find the probability of single events. In groups of two, 6th graders complete additional activities, predicting the probability. Students...

Students explore the profession of astronomy.  In this social studies lesson, students read articles on astronomers contributions to society and history.  Students reference the Bible for recorded astronomies impact on the...

Sixth graders investigate probability. They use ratios to solve simple probability situations. Students express their solutions in the form of fractions or decimals. They predict outcomes and complete probability worksheets.

Students relate to the idea of periodicity & give example of other periodic events and identify and use the periodic table as a useful resource. They also identify the relationship of elements to certain groups & periods &...

Middle schoolers apply probability to real life situation. In this statistics lesson, students play poker and make predictions on what hand they will get next. They apply their knowledge of how probability works to make their predictions.

Fourth graders discover how weather predictions are made. They list the responsibilities of a meteorologist. They identify weather instruments and state their functions.

Fourth graders predict future outcomes with an investigation of the mathematical principle of probability using spinners constructed by them. The spinner is a hands on application an they combine it with writing a ratio for the...

Learners engage in a reading of "An Occurrence At Owl Creek" in order to work on the reading comprehension skills of prediction with looking at the ending. They predict the next events leading to the ending and summarize how it could...

Fifth graders investigate buoyancy by conducting a science experiment.  In this water properties lesson plan, 5th graders predict which of their different paper boat designs will float for the longest period.  Students conduct...

Students study weather systems, hurricanes and tropical storms. They predict landfall of hurricanes and tropical storms.

Learners read an article about changes is the landforms in Scandinavia. They identify the main ideas. They eliminate or combine to make 4-7 main ideas. Finally students write about what they predict happen share, and discuss.

Students calculate the theoretical and empirical probability by dropping coins on a grid. They record their data and compare the theoretical and empirical data. Students make predictions about the results before conducting the experiment.

Fourth graders investigate how weather conditions and phenomena occur and how they can be predicted. They complete an internet search. Students create a weather fact sheet over a selected weather phenomenon.

Students brainstorm ideas about the future of our galaxy. In this space science lesson, students research the three main events happening in the Milky Way. They write a report about their findings.

Students end up learning the formula for density and calculate the densities of various materials, and predict if they sink or float.

Students conduct Internet research to identify the cultural aspects of the Miao minority group from China. They, in groups, create a brochure with their research and write an essay on the predicted future of the Miao culture.

Students interact with the main concepts of a narrative text in the six lessons of this unit. The setting, prediction, retelling, sequencing, and the identification of the beggining, middle and end of a story are investigated.
