Students collect and record data for a given city. They calculate standard deviation of temperature and analyze the impact of climate changes on a city's and culture.

First graders identify different types of transportation, and explain why each is important. They pretend they are going on a trip. They choose their mode of transportation, and use play money to buy their tickets.

Student complete a number of activities using computer based resources and primary sources to research the fur trade. They answer questions using the computer research.

Students reinforce AB patterns taught in the classroom and practice locomotor movements. They cut out and laminate 20 of each of the following Halloween items: bats, ghosts, Frankenstein faces, spiders, Jack-O¿¿¿-Lanterns, witches...

Students examine the economic effects of a strong and weak U.S. dollar. They identify the currency used in countries which regularly trade with the U.S., discuss the pros and cons of a strong U.S. dollar, and calculate the prices in...

Students, working independently and in groups, apply the distance formula to practical situations. After solving various problems, students in pairs design coordinate planes from the school blue print to measure the distance from the...

Students explore the realm of mathematical probability while playing a game of chance. after constructing paper rockets, they fire it enough times to determine the probabilities of the rocket traveling past a marked distance and of it...

Students study stream speed.  In this stream speed lesson students complete an activity and formulate an opinion and study its effects.

Learners measure out 100 feet to get an idea of how long an oil tanker is.  In this measurement instructional activity, students sketch an oil tanker using the appropriate scale, after they have an idea of how large an actual oil...

Students record data found at an assigned web site. In this data collection lesson, students access an assigned web site in order to complete a data chart about animals they see. They travel to different sections of the web site to find...

Students study entrepreneurship in space. In this space science lesson plan, students discuss an article provided and explain why their senses are important to finding opportunities. Students list three possible opportunities in the...

Students move around a makeshift "track" set up by the teacher, moving around it as many times as they can before the stop signal. Students begin by power walking and slow-jogging, then build up speed as they proceed. Students call out...

Students explore the concept of euler paths and circuits. In this euler paths and circuits instructional activity, students discuss the bridges of Königsberg problem. Students discuss how to determine if an euler circuit exists. Students...

Students discover how air can move things by using their breath. In this physics lesson, students hypothesize then attempt to move a pencil 1 meter using nothing but their breath. Students record data from their experiment including...

Students explore the principles of flight. For this flight lesson, students construct a model plane and investigate the forces acting on the flier. They will measure the thrust and calculate the stored energy.

Students investigate speed. In this rate of change lesson, students complete a rate/time/distance table to determine the average m.p.h. of a given trip. They listen and follow along with the lecture and examples to determine the average...

In this limits and continuity test, students solve 8 multiple choice questions. They define the words limits and continuity. Students determine the limits of 8 functions. Students find the value for a constant in one function, and prove...

Sixth graders explore space science by measuring distances between planets. In this solar system lesson, 6th graders view a Bill Nye video and discover the conversion between the metric system and imperial measuring systems. Students...

Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the properties of a right triangle. They find the missing side and angles of a right triangle.

Students calculate the distance and acceleration of an object. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and create table and graphs to analyze it. They complete a lab as they collect and analyze data on acceleration and distance.

Students explore physics by creating data graphs in class. In this flight properties lesson plan, students read the book Flying Machine and identify the force, resistance and construction necessary to keep a glider in the air. Students...

Students solve and graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and plot it to create a linear function. They identify the domain and range of each line.

Students calculate the distance and velocity over time. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph a linear function to represent the distance vers time travel. They interpret their graphs and draw conclusion.

Students sing a song (to the tune of The Twelve Days of Christmas) that helps reinforce their counting skills.
