Feel the pull of science! The final installment of this 18-part series is an application of everything learned in the previous high school lessons. Scholars are given a magnetic field map and must propose an arrangement of magnets that...

So you built a magnetometer, now what? High school scientists use their magnetometer made in a previous lesson to map the union of magnetic fields of dipole magnets. They experiment with different alignments and draw conclusions about...

Find similarities in seemingly unlike organisms. The second instructional activity in a series of 12 builds the concept of a taxonomy and explores the use of a dichotomous key. Learners begin in part one by attempting to group a set of...

Young scholars survey people to find out what roller coasters they like, conduct Internet research to find information on dangers in amusement parks, contact experts on subject, and write feature that shows pros and cons of coasters.

Here is a great instructional activity on constructing line graphs. Learners identify common characteristics of birds, ants common needs of all living things. They also write a story from the perspective of an ant or a bird that has lost...

What makes each one of us unique? Lead your class in this exciting and educational activity as you uncover traits that show how each individual is different from another. Pupils explore facts about DNA technology and predict the...

Students investigate the reasons for taking a census and determine the problems that are involved in the process. They examine the population figure for Montana and Lake county before using the information to complete the included...

Students compare two nineteenth century family portraits using historical data, statistics, and historical context. Students analyze their own family pictures adjusting the criteria to the current decade. Lastly students study the...

In this describing trends worksheet, students read information about broadcast TV plus cable and satellite TV, observe an annual use of the media graph and describe the trends. Students also read a text about advertising, interpret a...

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...

Eighth graders research box plots on the Internet. They gather real life statistics and analyze the collected statistics by making multiple box plots on the TI-83 calculator.

If the flu outbreak continues, exams will have to be canceled. Investigate the properties of exponential and logarithmic functions. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI to examine and differentiate between exponential growth and...

Students analyze linear functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students create a linear model to relate coordinate pairs. They evaluate and solve equations.

Young scholars predict results, design a model, and carry out trials to determine probability based on their experimentation.

Young scholars identify relation, function, patterns and range. In this algebra lesson, students factor and graph quadratic equations. They use transformation to move the parabola around and make predictions.

Studens identify the properties of exponents. In this algebra lesson plan, students grapha nd solve equaitons of exponential functions. They add, subtract, multiply and divide using exponents.

Pupils use properties of exponents to solve equations. For this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide exponential functions. They graph and differentiate between exponential growth and decay.

Young scholars identify the slope of a line and use it to solve real life problems. In this algebra lesson plan, students write linear equations in slope intercept form and make a correlation to its relation to the real world. They use...

Learners investigate teachers and gender preference. In this statistic instructional activity, students collect data of teachers calling on learners to see if they are calling on one gender more than the other. Students examine the data...
