Learners explore friction. In this physics lesson plan, students will cover metal blocks with film to determine the changes caused by static and kinetic friction.

Students construct perpendicular lines. In this geometry lesson, students use a compass and straight edge to do construction. They start from a point to a line.

Students investigate ways that animals adapt to their environments through hands-on activities using isopods and an interactive video.

Students examine biodiversity and classify organisms.  For this wildflower lesson students go out and take pictures of plants then create a presentation to show the class. 

Students create tessellations. In this geometry instructional activity, students use polygons to create different patterns by rotation. They identify the reasons for polygons to create the type of tessellation it does.

Young scholars examine how to conduct simple investigations and use simple equipment to gather data.  In this magnet lesson students decide what types of objects are attracted to magnets. 

Students investigate polygons and construct ferris wheels. In this geometry lesson, students create a circle and differentiate properties of circles and polygons. They compare the relationship between angles and circumscribed polygons.

Students discover the different alternative fuel sources. In this biology lesson, students identify the different stages of the carbon cycle. They explain the pros and cons of using alternative energy.

49Students investigate the properties of right triangles. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing angles and sides.

Students identify similar and congruent right triangles. In this geometry lesson, students use trigonometric ratios to identify missing sides and angles of a triangle. They differentiate similar and congruent triangles.

Ninth graders research the different field of bioengineering. In this biology activity, 9th graders differentiate meiosis and mitosis. They discuss the pros and cons of using radiation in medical diagnostics.

Eighth graders research Native American legends involving the sun, moon, and stars and compare them to the origin of present day knowledge. They create a written report and make an oral presentation of their findings to the class.

Young scholars identify missing sides and angles. In this geometry lesson plan, students use triangular theorems to identify the missing sides. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the different ratios of each side.

Students solve problems using fractals. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of fractals. They find patterns in their surroundings and relate it to the real world and math.
