In this geometry activity, students differentiate between perpendicular and parallel planes and lines. They identify segments that are parallel and perpendicular to sides. There are  22 questions.

Students write equations of a line. For this algebra lesson, students investigate the assassination of JFK through linear equations. They calculate the length of given line segments.

Young scholars calculate the midpoint of a line. In this geometry lesson, students identify the different parts of the coordinate plane. They use the midpoint formula to find the middle of segments between a pair of coordinates.

In this measuring length learning exercise, students measure 8 line segments to the nearest 1/2 inch. An answer key and reference website for additional resources are given.

In this measuring length activity, students measure the length of given line segments. An answer key and reference website for additional resources are given.

Students explore volcanoes. For this science lesson, students discuss the characteristics of volcanoes and view a video segment about a volcano. Students examine plate tectonics.

Pupils watch segments of a video to explore portraits. They create a self portrait using mixed-media.

Students compare and contrast Jamie Foxx's early musical career with the careers of J.S. Back and F.J. Haydn. They watch and discuss a segment of "VH1 Driven: Jamie Foxx," listen to a hymn, and complete a worksheet.

Students think about several of the concepts from fractals, including recursion and self similarity. They use mathematical concepts of line segments, perimeter, area and infinity are used, and skill at pattern recognition is practiced.

Students determine the direction the river flows. They use a US map with rivers listed, colored pencils and a compass or transparency with directions marked. Students use a color key to determine which direction the river is flowing...

Students identify the quality and effectiveness of musical performances through the use of music telling a story. They will compare and contrast philosophy and form of song segments.

Students are introduced to macroinvertebrates (primarily insects), the major segments of aquatic insects (the head, thorax and abdomen) and also differentiate between larval, nymph and adult stages. They investigate the head, thorax and...

Fifth graders experience a lesson to investigate the methods for finding the area of a circle. They use the drawing of segments in order to visualize how a circle can be proposed of many parts. Then students brainstorm in order to derive...

Eighth graders become engaged in a lesson plan in geometry to improve mathematical skills. They construct triangles, segments, and points using Geometer's Sketchpad to demonstrate how dilations of triangles and rectangles change...

Young scholars brainstorm a list of symbols that represent our cultural values. They research symbols of China and Japan. Students create a timeline showing how symbols have evolved in these two countries. They view the video "Showing...

In this math worksheet, students find the information concerning the line segments and angles. They define the complimentary and supplementary angles.

For this spatial relations worksheet, students solve three-dimensional problems. They find the total number of triangles in a given figure, the number of line segments that endpoints and use integer points to solve two problems. This...

In this spatial relations worksheet, students identify the number of triangles in a given figure, identify the number of cubes that a plane intersects, and determine the number of line segments in a given cube. This three-page worksheet...

In this circle worksheet, students solve problems involving the circumference, area and arc length in a circle. They explore the union of circles and semicircles, as well as the line segments tangent to the circle. This two-page...

In this classifying triangles worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 11 different types of problems. First, they state whether each segment shown is an altitude, median, or neither. Then, students solve for x and find the requested...

Students listen in on American historical events. In this colonial America instructional activity, students participate in an activity that requires them to watch video segments that feature Revolutionary War battles and the...

Students explore early civilizations. In this ancient history lesson, students research Neanderthal and Egyptian civilizations for information regarding how the civilizations flourished. Students also watch Discovery video segments to...

Students explore the foundations of America. In this early American history lesson, students watch Discovery video segments regarding the Boston Massacre, the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights....

Students examine the settlement of the Louisiana Territory. In this Westward Expansion lesson, students watch segments of the Discovery video "East Meets West: Americans on the Move". Students conduct further research...
