Popcorn is a tasty part of a culminating activity designed to motivate readers to share important literary elements. The popcorn fills the inside of a white paper bag that is transformed on the outside into a presentation tool with the...

Youngsters recognize that triangles can be combined together to make various shapes. The learning activity provides a series of seven steps that engage children in applying transformations to triangles. Pupils use a quilt template and...

There is nothing more frustrating than discussing theme in literature, and now the Common Core requires that your learners determine two or more, and discuss the development of it throughout the text. This is crazy, but manageable with...

Replacing, bland, inexact generalizations with specific statement and precise information is the focus of a worksheet that models how to transform general statements into specific ones. After examining four models, learners have an...

How can something be true even if it didn't happen? Invite your classes to investigate the truths found in the world of magical realism as they analyze short stories, poems, informational texts, video, and art from this genre.

Here is a plate tectonics interactive that will really move your class! The first of a 13-part series introduces young geologists to the fundamental concepts and vocabulary they need to understand the interactions between...

Students examine the idea that an object might never have a "fixed" existence and may be a thing existing always in flux by creating a frame-based animation of something that transforms from one shape into another. They create...

Students recreate sea-floor spreading and the pattern of magnetic stripes that are created by different configurations of plate boundaries. They see how transform faults work.

Students become acquainted with the first law of thermodynamics, which concerns the conservation of energy as it is transformed from one form to another. They identify forms of energy, and devices or processes that transform energy from...

The concept of sine and cosine is explored in this lesson where high schoolers graph sine and cosine graphs using a transformation application on the graphing calculator.  Students change the coefficients for the amplitude, period,...

Young scholars make observations about shapes and 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional objects. They conduct observations and make predictions regarding transformations of simple geometric shapes. They identify shapes that occur in household items.

Perform reflections and transformations by having your learners create glide reflections from translated shapes. They use the TiNavigator to explore transformations.

Middle schoolers explore energy through the idea of energy transformations and conversions, and to develop students' ideas of what energy is and how it can be measured.

Students watch videos about various modes of transportation, they examine the energy transformations that occur in each, and they be introduced to the laws of thermodynamics.

In this integration worksheet, students transform antiderivatives and integrals by using substitution functions. They sketch graphs of two antiderivatives and describe their relationship. Students use trigonometric identities to find the...

Students investigate awareness and spiritual transformation by researching the life of Gandhi.  For this philosophy lesson, students discuss living in an aware state by practicing yoga, eating vegetarian, and becoming immersed in...

Students create a quilt, using different patterns. In this geometry lesson, students apply prior knowledge as they use different patterns to help them create a quilt using transformations and geometric shapes.

Students perform transformation on their polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the correct transformation of each shape. They move the polygons around on a coordinate plane. There are extension and homework activities...

Fourth graders explain how California became an agricultural and industrial power. They trace the transformation of the California economy in its political and cultural development since the 1850's.

Students observe a model of a waterwheel to investigate the transformations of energy involved in turning the blades of a hydro-turbine into work. They work as engineers to create a model for a new waterwheel while considering resources,...

Fourth graders explore how engineers transform wind energy into electrical energy by building their own miniature wind turbines and measuring the electrical current it produces. They see how design and position affect the electrical...

Learners critique the transition of "Holes" from a novel to screenplay and consider how the details in a book are brought to life in a movie. They then choose a scene in a book and transform it into an original script after brainstorming...

High schoolers explore problem solving with the TI-89 or Voyage 200. In this secondary mathematics lesson, your learners will investigate the Symbolic Math Guide Application which assists students with problem solving strategies by...
