Learners create a model of the solar system out of candy. They write a book about their travels through the Solar System, beginning at age ten and reaching Pluto at age seventy.

Students discuss what happens to the trash in their home. They talk about what would happen if they didn't remove the trash. Students relate their home trash to the excretory system of their bodies. They label a diagram of the urinary...

In this immune system activity, students describe an antibody and how it functions. Then they determine sources of passive immunity and how HIV affects the immune system. Students also name defenses that the digestive system has against...

Fifth graders identify and define parts of the reproductive system. In this health activity, the teacher introduces the parts of the reproductive system, then students match body part cards to the corresponding definition cards.

Students study the immune system. In this biology lesson plan, students explore illustrations that show how viruses can appear as foreign invaders in the blood. Students also role play how the immune system responds to a virus.

In this solar system worksheet, students fill in 21 blanks with words from a word bank at the top of the page. They include information about the solar system, terrestrial planets, gaseous planets, and planetoids.

Learners explore the major systems and functions of the human body. In this anatomy lesson, students make life-size outlines of bodies, diagram body systems, and present their work to their classmates.

Students put their cataloging skills into practice. In this research lesson students examine the listed websites that feature Dewey Decimal classification. Students then collaborate to use the Dewey Decimal classification system to...

Student discuss the effect of HIV on the immune system. In this human body lesson, students research the immune system and how the HIV virus weakens it. They create a bulletin board showing how HIV is transmitted. 

In this systems of equations worksheet, high schoolers solve systems of equations, systems of inequalities, and linear equations.  They read word problems and write a system of equations that depicts the problem.  this two-page...

Seventh graders study how the heart functions and its parts.  In this circulatory system lesson students learn how to take their pulse, blood pressure and respiration. 

Students solve inequalities and systems of equations. In this algebra lesson, students use substitution and elimination as they solve algebraic systems. They use graphing and a table to support their solutions.

Young scholars solve systems of equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students use elimination and substitution to solve for the point of intersection. They use graphing to see where the two lines intersect.

Learners probe an interdisciplinary unit on our solar system. Distances between planets, their characteristics, and applications to student's personal lives are analyzed in this experience. The unit contains seven lessons.

Students explore planets of the solar system, write reports, and create dioramas.

High schoolers reflect on and discuss theories of how the solar system was formed. They respond to prompts in a structured sequence to relate the formation of the solar system and the age of the Earth.

Students review solving absolute value equations. They watch as the teacher demonstrates solving a system of linear equations by addition. Students practice working problems by multiplying to obtain opposite cooefficients, and then...

In this urinary system worksheet, students participate in a lab to describe the overall function of the urinary system and identify from models of the kidney twelve structures found within the urinary system.

In this systems of equations worksheet, students solve systems of equations simultaneously. They read story problems, write systems of equations. This two-page worksheet contains eight problems.

For this systems of equations worksheet, students solve 4 different problems related to various systems of equations. First, they write out and solve the system of equations shown using Maple. Then, students write the system in matrix...

For this systems of equations worksheet, students use graphs to solve systems of equations. They determine if the equation contains one solution, no solution, or many solutions. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems.

In this systems of equations worksheet, learners solve 6 systems using the substitution method. Students then set up and solve 2 systems of equations word problems, one being a mixture problem.

Young scholars classify the planets in the solar system, study planetary objects, and measure the relative distance between planets. In this solar system lesson, students use toilet paper to complete a scale model of the distance between...

Students solve a system of two unknowns.  In the Algebra lesson, students use a on line computer applet/program to solve a system by the elimination method.  The student's work is self checking, giving immediate feedback. ...
