Third graders participate in various experiments involving light. They demonstrate how light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object. Students show ways that light can be reflected, refracted, and absorbed.

Students practice basic sewing procedures such as measuring, using cutting board with grid, cutting using rotary cutter, threading sewing machine, and sewing straight line and backstitch. Students then cut fabric into squares to common...

Learners solve problems involving motion and distance. In this calculus lesson, students use to derivative to calculate the velocity-of a function. They observe objects moving along a straight line.

Students analyze the motion of a particle along a straight line. In this precalculus lesson, students use the TI to analyze the position of a function as they graph and visualise the function. They calculate the distance and...

Students create an abstract work of art that is made by repeating geometric shapes and lines, write concise instructions to reproduce the work of art and reproduce someone else's artwork via written instructions.

Working as a pair, two kindergartners will sit at a table and will pick two handfuls of counters. They will combine their individual handfuls into one, and count their own selection. They will then draw and record their count on a record...

For this linear function worksheet, 6th graders solve and complete 3 various types of problems. First, they write the equation of a straight line that passes through a pair of points. Then, students complete each table by filling in the...

Students will see how different colors of lights mix. In this light and color lesson, students watch as flashlights of different colors are shined individually, then together. Students observe that the light travels in straight lines and...

Students observe a demonstration on light. They construct a pinhole viewer, and explore and discuss the concept that light travels in a straight line.

In this math instructional activity, students compute the total distance traveled for a car moving in a straight line at 45 mph for 2 hours. Then they compute the distance for a car moving along a curved path at 45 mph for 2 hours.

Students conduct 8 experiments to gain an understanding of inertia. Students use a variety of materials to conduct these experiments. Students learn the difference between objects at rest and objects moving in a straight line.

In this political map worksheet, learners use the map of the United States and the 7 cities to measure the straight-line distance between the cities. Students add the total number of miles traveled and write their answers in the spaces.

Students study straight line motion and motion due to gravity.  In this motion lesson students analyze several experiments. 

Create a natural autumn scene using the monoprinting method. Class members work on creating an image with reflection, foreground, and background using one line. 

Ever wonder how long a pair of scissors are? Find out with this simple measuring activity in which pupils use the provided ruler to determine the length of four common classroom supplies.

Students view a PowerPoint for a warm-up instructional activity. They practice measuring around the classroom, measuring such things as the length and width of a desk, pencil, door, and book. Students use a website to practice measuring...

Students create name art. In this visual arts lesson plan, students use horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines to highlight their own names in print. Students use primary colors to create secondary colors in the project.

In this linear graphs and equations instructional activity, students examine points on a graph and identify coordinates plotted on the point. Students determine the slope of a line and write the equation of a line. This three-page...

Students investigate graphing a line. In this algebra instructional activity, students collect data on the path of a skateboarder. They collect how fast the board is traveling along a straight line and graph their results.

Students observe and demonstrate a variety of basic geometric constructions using the Triman Safety Compass. Using the compass, they draw circles, bisect a line segment, construct an angle, bisect an angle, copy an angle, and create...

Geometry is full of shapes, figures, and corresponding things here and there. The guide shares all of the key pieces of geometric information in a nicely color-coded and labeled sheet. 

Circles are the foundation of many geometric concepts and extensions - a point that is thoroughly driven home in this extensive unit. Fundamental properties of circles are investigated (including sector area, angle measure, and...

Learn transformations through constructions! Pupils use perpendicular bisectors to understand the movement of a reflection and rotation. They discover that the perpendicular bisector(s) determine the line of reflection and the...
