Students calculate the volume and surface are of three-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson, students use the nets to prove their calculations of shapes. They identify the different parts of a solid using the nets.

Pupils construct a ribbon wand which, through the use of line, color, contrast and shape can be used to better express a given emotion. Students improvise a brief dance created through manipulation of ribbon wand using three distinct...

Students explore the concept of perimeter. In this perimeter lesson, students discuss how to find perimeter of various shapes. Students use the Perimeter Explorer applet to find the perimeter of various shapes.

Students sketch and identify properties of pyramids. In this geometry lesson, students create nets to identify three dimensional shapes. They sketch cones, prisms and pyramids.

Young scholars compare projectile point attributes, identify and classify points, and match projectile points to a chronology.

First graders investigate symmetry in patterns by utilizing unifix cubes.  In this pattern lesson, 1st graders practice creating patterns that are perfectly symmetrical no matter which way it's looked at.  Students utilize...

Students examine the attribute of equilateral triangles. In this equilateral triangle lesson, students examine a number of paper triangles to determine how they are classified. They determine how triangles are depicted in Navajo rugs.

Students identify and sketch the nets for sphere. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between two and three dimensional shapes. They find the surface area of each sphere.

Pupils examine works of art that depict two people who care for each other, and analyze how artists use line, shape, color, and space in works of art. They use line, shape, color, and space to create drawings that depict two people they...

Students use fruit counters. In this patterns lesson, students identify different fruits, sort the fruits by color, shape and size, and make a pattern using the fruits.

Students describe the physical forces that formed and shaped the Himalaya, then discuss the physical geography of Mount Everest and how it influences the routes climbers take to the summit.

Students listen to the teacher read "A Dreamer's Cloak." They examine the difference between squares and circles and create their own cloak by using a paper bag and different shapes.

Fifth graders investigate geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders classify and group shapes and patterns by likeness. They investigate patterns based on clues from their peers.

Students study the attributes of liquids. In this science exploration lesson, students participate in a hands-on activity that requires them to examine the volume and shape of liquid.

Sixth graders discover the patterns of sums of polygon angles. In this math lesson plan, 6th graders study the properties of geometric shapes to solve problems as they participate in hands-on activities.

Students construct using Cabri software. In this geometry lesson, students convert between units and apply the correct measurements to build objects. They create the room virtually and manipulate the shapes to the desired measurements.

Learners explore and learn about the habitats, diets, and specific attributes of various species of ducks. Students know the names of at least seven species of ducks and at least five criteria for identifying species of ducks.

Students observe the attributes of an object, infer their uses, and discover how archaeologists use objects to explore the past.

First graders study and define matter. They observe and identify states of matter along with common attributes and study how matter can change form or change its state depending on temperature.

Learners study Greek culture, particularly as it relates to Homer's Odyssey. They examine how human activities shape the earth's surface and identify forces that influence a culture's beliefs and traditions. They determine that...
