Students discuss "How can we measure (or make it easier to record) the speed, distance or acceleration of the balloon?" They told that they are going to make a balloon racetrack. Pupils use meter sticks to accurately measure length and...

Young scholars recognize, describe and extend patterns in three activities. They organize data, find patterns and describe the rule for the pattern as well as use the graphing calculator to graph the data to make and test predictions. In...

Learners investigate the process necessary to construct regular polygons. They explore the degree measures of the angles in a regular polygon. Using this information and technology in the form of Cabri Jr., your pupils will construct...

In this SI prefixes and mass worksheet, students are given measurements of mass and they covert to the given measurement by moving the decimal the proper number of places to the left or right.

Students solve quadratic equations and identify functions. In this algebra lesson, students graph parabolas and identify properties describing the shape of the parabola. They find the vertex and rewrite the equation in standard form.

Third graders investigate the events of geological time using a chart called a "Clock of Eras". In this geological events lesson plan, 3rd graders compare a standard clock to a geological clock. In addition, students consider periods...

Fourth graders examine soil to find its contents, and how much water and air they can measure.  In this soil composition lesson, 4th graders perform three experiments and record their results.  In one experiment they examine...

Students observe the inherited traits in earthworms and mealworms. In this organisms lesson, students view a live mealworm and earthworm on a tray and identify the body parts. Students measure the worms and observe the behavior....

High schoolers explore the concept of circles as they construct a circle using a program such as Cabri Jr. Learners construct a chord and a diameter that are perpendicular, then measure the bisected chord and notice that both sides of...

Investigate the properties of the shape formed by connecting the midpoints of adjacent sides of a quadrilateral. In this properties of the shape formed by connecting the midpoints of adjacent sides of a quadrilateral lesson, students use...

Students investigate time. In this investigative lesson, students run through an obstacle course using standard timers. They record the time and apply this knowledge to problems in math. Students record their predictions, and graph...

I bet the kids in your class will love to eat their vegetables after an engaging lesson about edible plants. They read information about vegetables and edible plants, sort vocabulary words, identify plant parts, measure and graph the...

Middle schoolers perform mathematical operations to create proportional measurements, after listening to the David Schwartz book, If You Hopped Like a Frog.

Sixth graders calculate a light day, light hour, and light minute from the standard of a light year. After establishing the distances, a one meter scale is created to demonstrate the distance between the sun and the planets of our solar...

Students explore different organizations working to stop terrorism. They examine international summits and their recommendations. They participate in a debate about the effectiveness of the measures proposed.

Students are able to analyze gravity as an universal force. They are able to demonstrate ways that simple machines can change force. Students are able to determine how the force of friction retards motion. They are able to describe...

Eighth graders create a survey, gather data and describe the data using measures of central tendency (mean, median and mode) and spread (range, quartiles, and interquartile range). Students use these measures to interpret, compare and...

Fifth graders identify, through experimentation, what properties of substance are, determine what variables tested will be, identify constants and variables of experiment, conduct experiment to conclusion with measurable, recorded...

Students discover scientific facts about the Moon and how some American Indian Tribes used the moon to measure time. They accomplish this by listening to stories and poetry, writing stories, communicating with an astronaut,...

Students investigate the concept of earthquakes and the different types of magnitudes. They research the Richter scale and how it is used to measure the intensities of earthquakes. Students then apply the concept by completing a...

Students explore, research and examine the causes of natural disasters and how to survive them. They research on the internet world climate, recent disasters, how they happen, what to do if one occurs and what preventive measures to take...

Sixth graders use newspapers to investigate fractions. They work in small groups to categorize articles, measure them with the grid transparency, and calculate the values represented. Afterward, they write a reflective essay on the role...

High schoolers discover properties of parallelograms as they construct a parallelogram using Cabri Jr. They will measure angles and side lengths of their construction and determine the relationship between the diagonals of a...

A six-page packet walks, or bends learners through angles that combine to create triangles. Definitions are given for right triangles, obtuse and acute triangles. They draw angles according to directions, using a protractor to meet the...
