After reading "The King of Mazy May" by Jack London, learners reinforce their literary analysis skills in this SMART board instructional activity. The provided SMART board file allows themto define elements of a short story, and then add...

Don't give your classes the third degree when working with polynomials! Teach them to recognize the successive differences and identify the degree of the polynomial. The lesson leads learners through a process to develop an understanding...

Take your class to the theater! First graders will examine characters that actors play such a villians and heroes. Then participate in creating plays and performing in them. They will also research what it takes to create scenery, props...

In this arithmetic sequence worksheet, students identify the terms in a described sequence. They find the nth term in a sequence, complete a sequence statement and find the arithmetic means. This one-page worksheet contains 15 problems.

In this sequence worksheet, young scholars complete problems involving geometric sequences. They identify the nth term in a sequence. Students explore various positions in the Fibonacci sequence. This two-page worksheet contains eight...

A red delicious apple tree with a simple mutation means we now benefit from the existence of golden delicious apples. Learn how simple mutations change genetic information in DNA sequences. Using biographies, videos, and animations,...

Explore the science behind Earth's amazing diversity of life with this lesson on genetics. Looking at specific traits in piebald deer, carnations, and roan cattle, young scientists use Punnett...

What's the story? Learners create the first of four storyboards about the invention of the television, incorporating narrative techniques and descriptive details. Next, they offer and receive feedback by participating in a peer critique...

Students follow detailed directions to use the GeoGebra program. In this mathematics lesson plan, students find the nth term of a sequence, and use line art to approximate a Bezier's curve. Students locate points and segments on a...

In this sequencing worksheet, students identify the nth term in a sequence, determine the number of distinct rectangles found within vertical lines and identify distinct and non-distance parts of polygons made with overlapping lines. ...

Young scholars explore the concept of patterns. In this patterns lesson, students use applets to manipulate tessellations. Young scholars predict the next number in a sequence by recognizing patterns.

Take a look at linear functions in a new environment. A three-stage algebra project first asks learners to model the salt concentration of an aquarium using linear functions. Then, using iterations, pupils create a set of input-output...

Geometric series either get bigger or approach a single number. So, how do you know which it is? An interactive presents three different geometric series with varying common ratios. With the aid of patterns, pupils determine values of r...

In this sequences activity, students solve 4 short answer problems. Students use clues to find the first, second, fourth, fifth, and nth terms in a sequence given only the third term.

New skills are developed as young scholars use graphing calculators and ranger technology to capture and graph the sequence of bounces a ball makes when dropped. After recording the height of four or more bounces, they use the collected...

In this negative numbers worksheet, students add and subtract positive and negative numbers.  They find the terms in a sequence, complete multiplication numbers, and find the missing numbers in given multiplication problems. ...

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...

If Parseltongue is a genetic trait, what is the probability a wizard will inherit the ability to speak Parseltongue? Scholars investigate magical and biological genetics with Punnett squares.

Need an a-maize-ing lesson to show your class how regulatory genes work? If you use the well-written resource, they'll be all ears! Biology scholars discover the gene responsible for the evolution of the modern-day corn plant through a...

Your learners connect the new concepts of transformations in the coordinate plane to their previous knowledge using the solid vocabulary development in this unit. Like a foreign language, mathematics has its own set of vocabulary terms...

In this arithmetic and geometric sequences worksheet, 11th graders solve and complete 37 various types of problems. First, they determine the term of each sequence shown. Then, students find the given term number using sigma notation....

Young scholars identify the nth term in a sequence. In this algebra lesson, students generate sequences given the formula for each sequence. They find the formula given the sequence.

Adolescents have the opportunity to consider how they feel about the possibilities presented by the current availability of genetic sequencing. After some instruction, they participate in a four-corners activity in which you read a...
