Young scholars examine and calculate the percentage of potable water remaining on the earth. In this ecology and geography lesson, students brainstorm the main factors affecting water distribution. Young scholars use mathematical problem...

Students participate in a Mini-Olympics with measurements. In this measurement lesson, students throw items and predict how far they will go. They measure the actual distance and find the difference between that and their estimate. 

Students discover the history of hot air balloons by watching one ascent.  In this physics lesson, students utilize a Montgolfier Hot Air Balloon from an earlier lesson and record the temperature, rate of ascent and the volume....

Young scholars apply understanding of fractions by converting a recipe to feed the class and the whole grade level. They calculate how many cookies the class would eat and multiply each fraction in the recipe accordingly.

Young scholars identify positive and negative angles using the Unit Circle. In this pre-calculus instructional activity, students identify the different angles on a unit circle using the coordinate plane and the four different quadrants...

Students construct and maintain a school garden. In this gardening lesson, students plan the construction of the garden by writing letters to local businesses asking for supplies and materials; students build the garden using their math...

Learners explore air pollution. In this ecology and air pollution lesson, students perform an experiment in which a Vaseline coated lid is placed inside and outside the classroom. Learners make predictions and then record what they see...

Students use art and images analyze the Civil War. In this instructional activity on the Shaw Memorial, students engage in 3 activities, discussion, and art analysis to better comprehend the events of the Civil War. This instructional...

Students engage in a lesson that is about the concept of measuring the statistical data of a population taken from a census. The data is interpreted and recorded looking for trends in subjects like world economy and job opportunities.

High schoolers, in groups, describe a photo to the class. They determine which New Deal program is depicted in each of the images based on the research they conducted.
