In this physics worksheet, students identify and describe the correct and incorrect features in electric field lines. Then they qualitatively sketch field lines for a charge distribution and a charge given the field lines.

Learners make simple observations and identify relevant variables, such as frequency and diameter. They then discuss the relationship between variables. The task assesses students' abilities to make simple observations and make...

Ninth graders identify and describe in their own language, the following 2-dimensional shapes: square, circle, box, pentagon; classify objects by shape attributes. They then list a number of properties that distinguish squares from...

Eighth graders engage in a lesson that is concerned with examining two dimensional figures with different properties that include circles, triangles, queadrilaterals, etc... They identify the types of figures that is identified as polygons.

Students discuss the sum of central angles and use string to create them on circles. They find the measure and length of both minor and major arcs. Students give examples of concentric, similar, and congruent circles and congruent arcs.

Learners examine how to investigate polygons using an instrument of their own construction. They should be able to prove the general formula for the number of degrees in any polygon (including a triangle). Finally they investigate an...

Students examine a math worksheet and determine how to divide a single triangle into four of equal area. Using geometric principles, they sketch two additional ways to divide into into four equal triangles. To conclude, students...

Students become acquainted with linear graphs, the parabola and the rectangular hyperbola. Also prepare tables of paired values as preparation for plotting a line. They study the cartesian equation of an ellipse, with a worked example.

In this long U worksheet, learners say the name of 12 pictures. Students circle the symbol for long or short U to match the sound that the vowel in the word makes.

In this picture/word association worksheet, 2nd graders circle pictures of words that are used in 4 short readings. They find the correct "th," "qu," and "wh" pictures in this digraph activity.

Third graders search TDC database for images of our hemisphere, continent, ocean, country, state, and city. They identify their place in the hemisphere, continent, ocean, country, state, and city.

Students use their county's information page to gather information about their community. Using the information, they create graphs from the tables provided and interpret the data. They write a paragraph showing their interpretation of...

Students investigate the Richter scale and seismology in a teacher-led lab in which they are introduced to the concept of seismic waves and epicenter location. They further investigate the inner workings of a seismograph and practice...

Young scholars are given data and are to calculate averages and yearly totals of how many cars travel the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. They also make a graph of the data.

Ninth graders find the height of an object that would be difficult or impossible to measure directly. They construct and use a Clinometer to measure the angle of elevation (or depression). Students create a sketch of the measurement...

Students, through books, videos, and readings, explore characteristics of insects. In groups, they choose an insect to research. Students discover their insect's diet, how they move, and where they live. Afterwards, they use the facts...

Students work in groups to determine the political, economic, and social makeup of the slaveowner. They complete a worksheet.

Students complete activities to learn a phenomenological approach to polygons. In this polygons lesson, students use the materials in the directions to make demonstration models. Students use a wooden wagon model and liquid to learn...

Students investigate the similarities and differences in soils from different states with an analysis of its physical and chemical properties.

Students, as a final project, draw a picture of their ideal neighborhood on a sunny day. In addition to the sun, their drawings include homes, trees, streets, and selected objects. Each object in their drawing has a written description...

Students explore the pattern of the unit cell. For this science lesson, students color the unit cells on a worksheet and create a pattern using unit cells.

Students problem-solve how to log five acres. Working in pairs, they construct models of logging sites before and after the trees are harvested. they paint their models and include other environmental details.

High schoolers create their own personalized Zodiac page on a word processing document after researching and discussing the origins of Zodiak signs. This lesson plan does include resource links and may be controversial.

Learners determine whether a hit baseball is a home run or not by utilizing parametric equations to describe the path of the ball. They assess the importance of angles and velocity needed to hit a home run. In addition, in their own...
