Learners study the Gilded Age in American History. They present a speech demonstrating knowledge of the platforms of the Progressives and Populists.

Sixth graders examine the research that archaeologists have done on a Late Bronze Age shipwreck in order to work out the extent of trade in the Eastern Mediterranean during this period, with emphasis on the involvement of the Mycenaeans...

Students create handcrafted paper Hawaiian quilt squares. They do this to show the concept of symmetry across two lines of reflection.

Students use an online dictionaries to define key geometric terms. They explore several websites to help them differentiate the terms reflections, translations and rotations as they apply to geometry and then complete an assessment...

Students study the geography and resources available to the ancient Egyptians and create a multimedia tour that demonstrates this learning to others.

Students pretend they have visited a forest research station on an overnight field trip. They study forest fires, use compass directions, read maps, interpret imagery, and think about the impact of fire on ecosystems.

Third graders in groups research the different regions of Canada. They create a timeline to put the major events of Canada's history in order.

Students are introduced to the concepts of a watershed, stream flow and water quality. This five-day plan is an excellent way to introduce students to the concepts involved. They create their own watershed using a paper bag, water and...

Students examine the advantages and disadvantages of being a very small European country in today's world. They locate each country on a map using the coordinates, discuss the governments of each country, and develop a list of...

Eighth graders locate the major land forms and bodies of water on a map of Louisiana. In groups, they discuss the role of the Mississippi River in the Battle of New Orleans and how land and water affect the outcome of battles. To end...

Collaborative groups work with geometry manipulatives to investigate conjectures about angles. They create a graphic organizer to use in summarizing relationships among angles in intersecting, perpendicular and parallel lines cut by a...

Students study vocabulary associated with the Mayan Empire; its art, daily life, inventions, and religious beliefs. They examine why the Mayan culture is considered to be one of the most advanced of the ancient civilizations by...

First graders use geometric shapes to create and extend patterns. Students read a book and view African garments. They identify patterns in the garments. Students create and decorate a paper vest with geometric patterns.

Students are able to answer basic questions about the region and the use of natural resources, sketch a mental map of the story's setting, and find their way through the thematic maze/map.

Students are drawn to those activities that are in line with their individual intelligences. They use classroom computers to find fruits and their names in other languages. Once a fruit is identified, students practice saying the name of...

Sixth graders graph translations (slides) and reflections (flips) on a coordinate plane. They visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. Finally, 6th graders write a paragraph telling...

High schoolers investigate linear equations as they use technology (Cabri, Jr.) to explore the equations of lines in slope-intercept form. The technology allows learners to manipulate the line and observe the changes in the parameters of...

High schoolers investigate parallel and perpendicular lines. They use Cabri Jr. to construct and explore the relationships between the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. The drawing and measurement tools available with Cabri Jr....

Students explain habitats. In this model based lesson students create a model to help describe a habitat that is typical of deep-water. Students will describe how organisms such as coral and sponges add to their habitat.

Students explore four Native American tribes from Nevada. In this Native American history lesson, students identify and generate important corresponding attributes of the Southern Paiute, Northern Paiute, Washoe, and Western Shoshone...

Students are introduced to tall tales. In this introductory tall tales unit, students explore the tall tales of Casey Jones and Johnny Appleseed. This unit includes many interdisciplinary lessons including graphing skills and geography.

Learners explore types of water reserves. In this water conservation lesson, students brainstorm ways water are used in their homes. Learners use a graduated cylinder to simulate the amount of water on Earth and the amount that humans use.

Tenth graders study graphing exponential functions. In this transformations lesson, 10th graders apply inquiry to determine how changes to a parent function affect its graph. Students analyze transformed graphs and generate the function...

Third graders observe angles in their classroom and create an angle finder to represent them.In this angles lesson, 3rd graders classify angles as acute, obtuse, right or straight. Students find the differences and similarities in angles.
