Breath new life into your class's study of dinosaurs with this extensive collection of materials. Offering everything from a printable T-rex mask, word searches, and connect-the-dots activities to informational handouts, hands-on...

Students investigate cubes. In this geometric solids lesson, students review geometric concepts previously taught, then logon to a computer game in which they find cube figures and identify the shadow of hidden cubes.

Third graders, in pairs, complete Venn diagrams in the shape of kites displaying the attributes of a smoothly operating home and school. On the tailpieces they write roles and responsibilities for home and school. Once completed, 3rd...

Fifth graders classify blocks according to their attributes. For this math lesson, 5th graders will identify attributes of blocks, sort them, then form the groups into a Venn Diagram, and write ratios using the attributes.

Fifth graders participate in a class activity that helps them learn some geometric terms along with their definitions. They describe relationships between two and three-dimensional shapes and analyze attributes and properties of...

Pupils gain awareness of shapes in architecture by creating a painting of their school and writing a reflective summary of their study of architecture.

Sixth graders construct a unique collage that he or she believes represents his or her "SHAPE" (Spiritual Gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, Experiences).

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

Students construct a variety of four-sided figures using a K'NEX Geometry Set. They view and discuss pictures of shapes, then in small groups they construct as many four-sided shapes as possible using the K'NEX Rods and Connectors. As a...

Students observe and sort tree leaves. For this earth science lesson, students observe the attributes of real leaves and measure leaves using Unifix cubes.

Students define culture and examine how it affects them. They describe how their culture has shaped them, define the concept of culture, and explain some of the attributes of culture. The research the customs and culture of the groups...

Tenth graders investigate the history of geometry and its different shapes. In this geometry activity, 10th graders practice seeing three dimensional shapes and explain why there are only five polyhedra. They relate all the new materials...

Make connections about animal characteristics and the animal's environment. In this animal characteristics lesson, young scholars use a piece of art as a springboard for a discussion about animals and camouflage. Students choose an...

Learners use descriptive vocabulary to discuss the attributes of matter. Then, they sort objects or pictures by the type of matter they are comprised of. Finally, students match objects of matter with similar attributes and create a...

Students analyze objects by one or more attributes. In this sorting lesson plan, students use manipulatives and string or yarn to create a sorting game. Students read books and items from the classroom to sort. 

Students study attributes associated with concept of fiber optics is done using a labmade fiber optic from clear molded gelatin. A variety of shapes can be cut and pieced together to form a conduit to transmit the laser beam by internal...

Fourth graders discuss and examine examples of the different types of angles. After learning the names of the geometric shapes students identify the types of angles and then complete the Kidspiration activity, Identifying Angles.

Students, after exploring and analyzing diagrammatic and taxonomic keys and their association to marine sciences, identify and classify objects and organisms based on visual attributes/characteristics. They research and create their own...

Third graders explore vocabulary associated with three dimensional figures.  In this transformations instructional activity, 3rd graders create two dimensional nets for three dimensional figures.  Students become familiar with...

Students explore symmetry in architecture.  In this cross curriculum art  and architecture lesson, students fold paper to illustrate symmetry and identify symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes.  Students observe photographs...

Fourth graders identify and classify different triangles and quadrilaterals. Then they demonstrate an understanding of plane and solid geometric objects and use this knowledge to show relationships and solve specific problems. Students...

Middle schoolers identify lines of symmetry.  In this symmetry lesson, students create objects and identify their lines of symmetry.  They answer questions about lines of symmetry.  Middle schoolers cut shapes out of...

Young scholars explore basic shapes in Monet's paintings Wheatstacks, Snow Effect and Morning. They study about light and shadows through reading and experimenting with three-dimensional models and flashlights.

Students practice skills used in scientific investigation while studying the three main types of galaxies. Students identify Earth as part of Milky Way galaxy, the parts of galaxies, and the types of galaxies, as well as classify...
