Students collect and interpret data to make predictions about the levels of ozone in the atmosphere. Using the internet to collect data students use their collected data to create a line graph for analysis. Students make mathematical...

Here is a geology lesson plan which invites learners to explore a variety of rocks. They find rocks in the schoolyard and classify them according to size, color, and weight, then read the book Everybody Needs a Rock. Good lesson plan!

Who wouldn't want to wear four pairs of sunglasses? Each pair of sunglasses reduces the percent of incoming light by one-half. An interactive tutorial helps young mathematicians build a graph that models this scenario. They...

Historically, scientists had to be creative to study subatomic structure. Scholars step into their minds to recreate the procedure Rutherford used to create his atomic model. Learners identify the creative efforts of early scientists...

How does the Earth continually repair itself? Explore the answer to this question, and others, with a unit on plate boundaries and interaction. Pupils classify the types of movement at plate boundaries and identify the...

Ninth graders investigate the cause and effect of severe weather. In this Earth Science lesson, 9th graders use a learning contract and a rubric to develop a presentation about severe weather.

Students blend phonemes. In this guided reading lesson, students create words by blending isolated phonemes. Students read a book discussing families.

Students watch as the teacher makes sounds with her hands. They think of a word to describe the sound. Students discuss the way the word sounds like the sound. They complete the "The Sound Monster Activity." Students are told that...

Students discover shapes on a playground. In this guided reading lesson plan, students discover new vocabulary words related to shapes as they read Shapes Where We Play. In small groups, students use picture clues and one to one matching...

Fourth graders investigate ecosystems. In this ecosystem lesson, 4th graders explore producers, consumers, and decomposers and study the interdependence of each.

Students examine how U.S. population patterns have changed over time. Using the growth of major league baseball to illustrate these patterns, students create maps, examine regional migration patterns, and make predictions for the future.

In this weather activity, students photograph and record the weather conditions for a week. Then they list the types of clouds observed and the weather conditions they noted associated with each cloud type. Students also write a...

Ninth graders create a report that will show an in-depth knowledge of the various geographical and climatic features of Atlantic Canada. They produce various items, on paper and using the computer, to demonstrate knowledge of outcomes,...

Collaboratively, students partake in a hands-on activity in which they build models of a watershed. Each group member draws an elevation map—a bird's eye view—of their model and predicts how water will flow from the high to low points....

Fourth graders conduct surveys to collect data. They analyze and interpret the data, then determine which type of graph is appropriate for the data. Students use the data to make predictions, discover patterns and draw conclusions...

Students examine scatterplots and determine the equation of a line using the slope-intercept method. Students interpret graphs, draw inferences, and sketch a curve of best fit for the graph. Based upon patterns in the graphs, students...

Students examine various inheritance patterns using pedigrees. In groups, they predict what might happen to the offspring of a woman with normal vision and carries the recessive allele gene. They determine the genotypes of the man and...

Ninth graders explore linear functions.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders collect and analyze date as they investigate the question of how long will water last if you are trapped in a desert.    Students create...

Learners factor trinomials using patterns and their TI to graph their results and make predictions through this lesson. This is accomplished by solving quadratic equations through FOIL and algebra tiles.

Fourth graders investigate several cycles such as life cycles, and the moon cycle. They examine the sequences and patterns that are associated with daily life by keeping a daily journal for three days, and comparing it with others....

student make predictions or draw conclusions based on physical and visual representations of profit and sales. They model problems with physical materials and visual representations, and use models, graphs and tables to draw conclusions...

Students recognize different types of cloud patterns and associate these patterns with certain types of weather. They predict the weather for the next 6 to 24 hours. They then improve their observation skills as they check on the weather...

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.

Second graders read "The King's Chessboard" by David Birch. The teacher reads the story aloud and pauses at several points for students to calculate the next number in a pattern of doubling.
