Sixth graders explore line segments, rays, parallel, perpendicular and intersecting lines. The teacher discusses, with the class, real life items that represent each geometric idea studied. They use cotton balls, strings and popsicle...

Students observe the pistil growing into a tiny string bean-like seed pod. They then observe the development of the fertilized pods between Day 17 and Day 35 and record their observations by drawing and labeling, writing, and graphing. ...

In this math worksheet, learners imagine a situation where a weight is attached to a string and it is swung in a circle. Then they use vectors and derivatives to describe the motion.

In this fancy foot estimation and measurement worksheet, 1st graders examine 3 curved lines and estimate whether they are longer or shorter than a foot. They use a foot-long string to check each answer.

In this sustainable Olympics learning exercise, learners utilize a large map of the British Isles, map scale a long piece of string to calculate the approximate distance between their school and 8 locations where some of the Olympic...

Learners describe the different bodies that make up our solar system, explain the place of our solar system within the Milky Way Galaxy and the universe, explain day and night and the Earth's movement, and describe the relationship...

First graders explore freezing points. In this science lesson plan, 1st graders determine the temperature at which water freezes, understand why salt water freezes at a lower temperature than plain water, and understand why the string...

Learners design and write descriptions of imaginary beds. In this interior design instructional activity, students use various art materials such as paint, fabric, boxes, and string to create a model of a bed. Learners use descriptive...
