Students construct a sketch of the planets in our solar system using concentric circles and angles. In this solar system lesson plan, students plot the position of each planet on concentric circles using graph paper. The sun is included...

Fifth graders use the SMART Board to demonstrate how to use a protractor to measure acute, obtuse, and right angles. For this protractor lesson plan, 5th graders also complete an angles worksheet.

Students examine how light waves travel. In this properties of light lesson, students observe how light travels in water, how light is reflected and refracted, and how light is pure energy.

Students explore how the angle of sunlight affects the Earth's temperature and seasons and then apply this understanding to their local situation.

Sixth graders explore line segments, rays, parallel, perpendicular and intersecting lines. The teacher discusses, with the class, real life items that represent each geometric idea studied. They use cotton balls, strings and popsicle...

In this geometry instructional activity, students match the appropriate formula or definition that goes with the vocabulary word that includes angles and shapes.

Sixth graders examine how the angle of the sun's rays is a factor in determining the seasons. They watch a teacher demonstration of the concepts and write a paragraph demonstrating their understanding.

Learners investigate the relationship between angles and their sides. In this geometry instructional activity, students prove why SSA does not work as a true angle side relationship theorem.

Tenth graders investigate the theorems of ASA, AAS, AAA and ASA. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders discuss the theorems of triangles and how it is used to solve for missing sides or angles. They review how two angles are formed by...

Tenth graders investigate the theorems of ASA, AAS, AAA and ASA. For this geometry lesson, 10th graders discuss the theorems of triangles and how it is used to solve for missing sides or angles. They review how two angles are formed by...

Students study elevation of the Sun above the horizon and the angle of the rays and their heating power.

Pupils, by conducting simulations, explore the effects of direct and indirect sunlight on heating of the Earth.

In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders determine the answer to a vocabulary questions and then follow the give rules to place the answer in the appropriate place on the crossword grid.   The one page...

Fourth graders combine geometry and language arts skills while examining quilt-making. After identifying the geometric shapes contained in quilts, they write stories to encompass the quilt border. Students conclude by creating and...

Students research and describe how currents are formed. In groups, they relate specific terms to the formation of currents and locate different currents on a world map. They also examine tides, how they are formed and how they are...

Young scholars explore geometry by participating in a shape rotation experiment. In this symmetry lesson plan, students identify the term symmetry and a list of other geometry vocabulary. Young scholars analyze shapes as they are turned...

Students explore and discover how the sun provides heat to the earth, depending on the surface as well as the angle of the sun's rays.

Students watch a video clips before problem solving the use of angles in real world situations. They problem solve using spatial reasoning while connecting math to a sports activity that investigates the path of a bouncing ball.

Students describe how wedge and lever makes work easier. In this physics instructional activity, students analyze experimental data by creating a graph to see the trends. They calculate the work done and mechanical advantage of these...

Students use NASA satellite data to correlate cloud cover over Africa to the solar declination.

High schoolers draw a diagram that shows the law of reflection. In this physics lesson, students investigate the relationship between the angle of incidence and angle of reflection. They explain how light travels as it reflects on a...

Students identify types of arcs and angles in a circle, find the measure of arcs and angles, and solve real world problems involving lengths of segments in circles, lengths, and areas.

All aspects of the path of light are included in a great summary. Internal reflection and the angles of paths in different materials are explained and the behavior of visible light through lenses and the effect on focal points are...

Eighth graders complete a unit of lessons on basic geometry concepts. They participate in a variety of activities, culminating in a project that involves publishing a booklet or a poster that presents the major geometry concepts from the...
