Seventh graders are introduced to the concept of box-and-whisker plots. A step-by-step process for creating a box-and-whisker plot is provided. The goal of the lesson is that students study the components of a box-and-whisker plot and be...

Students explore fruits and vegetables.  For this nutrition lesson, students generate a list of all known fruits and vegetables.  Students cut out and compile pages for a weekly fruits and vegetable journal.  Students...

Students differentiate between a feral cat and a domesticated cat. In this cat lesson plan, students use the scientific method, calculate averages, solve story problems, and learn how a caretaker can help a feral colony live safely.

High schoolers collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.

Students collect experimental data and record it on a frequency table. After accessing an Internet coin toss simulation site they discover that repetition of an experiment may result in different outcomes. They identify the mutually...

Fourth graders are involved in a lab experience to look at the concept of heating up various materials to see how they react to an increase in temperature. They make observations and record them in a lab journal. Then students discuss...

Seventh graders investigate the practice of purchasing a used car with the help of links and resources found in the lesson plan. They conduct research to find the right kind of car using a variety of resources. Students examine data in...

Learners learn about the importance and risk that stocks carry within a business. In this financial management lesson, students use role play and case scenario situations to decide what stocks are best for given companies. Based on the...

Students explore the concept of similarity and congruence. In this similarity and congruence lesson, students cut out strips of paper and form a triangle. Students try to prove that their triangles are congruent using the SSS theorem of...

Students review data analysis techniques. In this statistics lesson, students access statistical software regarding the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth. Students read and interpret the data as they complete the...

Students solve and graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and plot it to create a linear function. They identify the domain and range of each line.

Students explore the concept of similarity and congruence. For this similarity and congruence lesson, students identify and verify whether or not two figures are similar, congruent, or neither. Students use postulates and theorems such...

Students measure the heights of their fellow classmates and create a box and whisker plot to display the data. In this measurement lesson plan, students analyze the data and record results.

Students compare and contrast two dimensional polygons and three dimentional nets by examining the differences in drawings. They create three dimensional shapes and label the faces, edges, and vertices. After creating the shapes, they...

Students design a cafeteria floor plan. In this area and perimeter lesson plan, groups create an efficient lunchroom layout on poster board by using geometric shapes and formulas as the basis for their designs. In the accompanying...

Students explore functions using real world application. In this algebra lesson, students play a game as they apply concepts of function. They graph their findings and discuss it with the class.

Students investigate different geometric patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create different shapes using toothpicks. They create different patterns and designs and complete a charts using different measurements.

Students rewrite word problems using symbols. In this algebra activity, students rewrite equations graphically, algebraically and verbally. They relate the concepts to the real world.

Students explore probability by using games based on probable outcomes of events. They name all of the possible outcomes of an event and express the likelihood of such an event occurring.

Second graders are introduced to different types of motion. They make rolling spider toys and race them on different surfaces to invsetigate forces and motion. Pupils make glue "spider webs" for their spiders after testing different...

Fifth graders brainstorm the relationship between trees and humans to determine how humans benefit from trees and how they benefit from us. They discuss oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange, soil stablization, animal habitat, shade, medicine...

Elementary or middle schoolers use ratios to discover some nearly constant relationships between measurements of parts of the human body. They find and record pairs of measurements and determine the relationship between the pairs. Pupils...

Student observe the effect soap (or detergent) has on the movement of food color in milk. Pupils observe the properties of solids and liquids while making butter. They read a poem, Shaking, and listen for ryhming words. Studdents...

Students define the parts of a database, search strategies to locate information electronically, create/modify databases, etc. and enter data into a prepared spreadsheet to perform calculations.
