Students discover the characteristics of batik fabrics. Using the fabric, they create a tulip garden wall hanging. They review warm and cool colors and use various stitching techniques for the stems and leaves. They share their...

Students employ an analysis and exploration of line use, to understand line in terms of design, style, and functionality. The learners experiment with line design. Understanding dynamic and diverse use of line will broaden students'...

Young scholars explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson plan, students use a applet that demonstrates chaos and probability of spread for a forest fire. Young scholars also play applets about the Game of Life and...

In this tessellating a hexagon worksheet, 10th graders complete 2 activities in creating a tessellation of a hexagon. They start off with the tessellation by the smallest pattern block and obtain other tessellations by replacing each two...

Second graders are introduced to circles, triangles and parallelograms. As a class, they create the shape with their bodies and are shown the shapes in their actual size. To end the lesson plan, they sketch each shape and identify their...

Students study geometric images and polyhedrons. In this geometry lesson, students complete several activities to learn about geometric shapes and classify polyhedrons from polygons. Students watch a video, complete a web-directed...

Fourth graders observe geometric patterns to determine if they show rotational or point symmetry. They participate in the a demonstration lesson with a triangle. They create their own designs that show rotational or point symmetry.

In this technology instructional activity, middle schoolers examine the basic principles of bridge building design in order to answer the nine questions with the help of the web links on page 2.

Students create a picture of an actual scene or overlap the called out lines or shapes into a space-breaker. If someone calls out a line or shape a student had not planned to use in the art, they have to figure out some way to use it...

Students make their own magnets out of old paint containers. They make familiar characters like Elmo and the Grouch from Sesame Street. They watch a demonstration and then make their own.

Students explore how recycling helps save trees and protect the environment. In this environmental concern lesson, students color a handout of animals that live in forests. Students discuss how recycling paper can save trees and set up...

Young scholars study about geologists and their job. They also study that rocks are made up of minerals and organic material by conducting an experiment where they create their own "granite" or "coal".

Ninth graders find the height of an object that would be difficult or impossible to measure directly. They construct and use a Clinometer to measure the angle of elevation (or depression). Students create a sketch of the measurement...

Fourth graders design a figure using the given geometric shapes from a set of tangrams. They manipulate common shapes to analyze and make new figures. They complete a worksheet associated with the lesson.

Students conduct an experiment to determine the frequency of pulling various parts of an ancient Greek sculpture out of a hat.

Students, in groups, identify examples of shapes around the school site. They take digital pictures of these shapes and use them to construct a class book.

Eighth graders complete math problems given in this lesson, where they find the perimeter and area of specific figures. They estimate the perimeter and area of shapes and figures and then complete the mathematical formula to find the...

Students create two block quilts after studying about continuity of lines, use of coloring, and highlighting adjacent pieces. Students complete the design into the border. Students cut the required material pieces to create their quilt...

Students identify and classify soil ypes according to data on the soil triangle. Given examples, students identify soil conservation practices, using criterion assessment instrument. When giving a case situation involving soil...

Third graders experiment with, identify, and follow teacher-directed instruction toward understanding two-dimensional geometric shapes found within the environment. Groups of students utilize geoboards to help them explain geometric shapes.

Tenth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem. Then they type up a formal paragraph proof of a proof of their choice.

Fifth graders investigate the type and use of lanterns in Chinese history, their cultural significance and their role in today's society. They watch a lantern maker and describe the process. Students compare and discuss a range of...

Students explore the complexity of handmade quilts and their designs by looking a real life samples.

Students create masks from the Italian Renaisance theatre and use them in one-act plays they write. they analyze the role and development of theatre in world cultures.
