Students complete readings on kite making and kite flying. They analyze how the parts of a system interconnect and influence each other. Students identifies and uses color and form in a 3D artwork.

In this math worksheet, students examine the graph of the derivative. Then they determine the critical points that correspond to the relative extrema.

In this rate activity, students read short word problems, and write equations to solve the problem. Equations include distance problems and rate of travel.

Students explain how sand dunes are formed, the different circumstances that effect the movement of or formation of sand dunes, and relate the information gathered to soil conservation. In this sand dunes lesson, students use pans of...

Students explore the concept of fractals. In this fractal lesson plan, students use applets to explore Koch's Snowflake, Sierpinski's Triangle, and other fractals. Students develop these concepts through exploration and teacher guided...

High schoolers study the history of kites and their fundamental properties.  In this kites lesson students divide into teams and build and fly kites. 

Students differentiate between similar and congruent polygons. In this geometry lesson, students define the theorems and reasons for polygons similarity and congruence. They are given pictures and patterns to differentiate and identify.

Ninth graders select and build one of five different paper airplane designs and test them for distance and for time aloft. Part of this activity is designed to explore NASA developed software, FoilSim, with respect to the lift of an...

Students study architectural elements, then develop a strong composition from an interior photographs. They explore color planning by developing a painting with a variety of values.

Young scholars differentiate between the two types of igneous rock and designate the area the rock comes from.

Students take an Internet field trip to research fractions. ESOL strategies include using pattern block manipulatives and pairing ESOL and non-ESOL students on computers.

Students participate in hands-on activities dealing with what lives in the ocean. They also read literature about the oceans.

Students work together to observe the bond lengths of single, double and triple bonds. They make their own predictions about the strength of the bonds and chemical reactions. They answer discussion questions to complete the lesson.

Students are introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They practice translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane. students use computers to learn about the three concepts.

Students explore comparing and ordering volume of containers. They use the context of Goldilocks and the Three Bears to compare the volume of various containers by packing or pouring.

Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to explore sailboat design. In this Pythagorean Theorem lesson, two sides of a triangular sail are measured, and the theorem is used to calculate the third side. A worksheet, bulletin board design,...

Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.

Students explore the concept of patterning. In this patterns instructional activity, students use recycled plastic tab closures as well as their problem solving skills to identify and create patterns.

Students examine the impact of glaciers on Great Britain. For this geological history lesson, students examine and measure a glacial valley and look at several types of glacial landscapes in Britain.

Students explore circumference and diameter. In this math lesson, students apply their knowledge of circumference and diameter to solve mathematical riddles. Students apply this knowledge to find circumference and diameter of various...

Pupils identify properties of parallelograms. In this geometry lesson, students label polygons as parallelogram or not. They define and label the properties of a kite.

Students build and apply concepts of geometry. In this geometry lesson, students create a building using proportions and scale drawings. They use Cabri technology to create a virtual drawing first.

Students find triangles in the real world. In this geometry lesson, students analyze and identify properties of two and three-dimensional objects. They differentiate between similarity and congruence.

Fifth graders use estimation to solve word problems. In this fractions instructional activity, 5th graders decide whether or not an answer to a work problem is reasonable by applying their knowledge of fractions, decimals and estimation....
