Students determine the contact angle of water on different surfaces. For this physics lesson, students calculate their percent error using a mathematical formula. They explain the advantages of using non-wetting surface for certain...

Students explore points, lines and planes as it relates to geometry. In this geometry lesson, students analyze space and explain wy it is 3-D and not flat or 2-D. They solve problems involving volume and 3-D shapes.

In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders define surface area, net and lateral face. They calculate the surface areas of cones, prisms and cubes. There are 9 surface area questions.

Tenth graders explore congruent triangles.  For this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate the conditions necessary to prove two triangles congruent.  The lesson combines dry erase board activities and the use of technology.

Learners investigate nets as they relate to volume and area. In this geometry lesson, students use nets as a visual to deepen their understanding of surface area and volume of objects. They make conjectures about different objects and...

Young scholars observe fluid motion. In this Physics lesson, students explore the principles of Pascal, Archimedes, and Bernoulli. Young scholars list their experiences with fluid movement.

Students create tessellations with computer software while applying their knowledge of reflections, rotations, and translations.

Students, in groups, determine the volume of a box large enough to hold a million dollars. They calculate the dimensions of a bill and the volume of the money.

Students construct a free-from sculpture. In this sculpting lesson, students use plaster of paris, a malt cup, and finishing tools to create a sculpture. Students share their finished art pieces.

Students use centimeter rulers and the attached worksheet containing a scale drawing of a stained glass window. The actual measurements of the stained glass window are given, and students are asked to find the actual measurement of the...

Students identify lines of symmetry.  In this symmetry instructional activity, students create objects and identify their lines of symmetry.  They answer questions about lines of symmetry.  Students cut shapes out of...

Sixth graders examine a blue print and discuss the reasoning behind using blue prints. In this proportionality instructional activity,  students collaborate with their teammates to create a scale drawing. Once that is complete, 6th...

Students investigate circles and spheres. In this space shapes lesson, students compare and contrast two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Students investigate the relationship between plane and space shapes.

Students visit a local lake refuge and identify shapes they find in nature. They take pictures of the various shapes and use KidPix to draw shapes around the shapes in the pictures. They watch a slideshow of all the shapes found by their...

Students investigate geo-profiling.  For this secondary mathematics lesson, students use geo-profiling to determine the most probable location of a criminal.  Students find the centroid of a polygon where the vertices represent...

In this water desalinization worksheet, students will design and construct their own desalinization plant. Then they will describe how they set up their experiment and if it worked or not.
