The last segment of the nine-part unit makes a connection between springs and linear equations. Groups hang weights from the spring and measure its length. Then, using the data collected, they calculate the slope to find the k-value...

Geometry students will be ecstatic about these engaging and enlightening end-of-the-year projects! Types of project ideas include interviewing a geometer, an ABCs of geometry poster, an engineering lab report, and origami work. 

It's all about density! Here's a dense workbook for young scientists; they solve (and show work for) 29 density word problems, including a problem where they solve for the density of Godzilla. They complete labs analyzing metal...

Young scholars identify interior and exterior angles of polygons. For this geometry lesson, students add interior and exterior angles of polygons. They use angle theorems to solve the problems.

Students find the median of trapezoids and other polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify important properties of trapezoids. They create trapezoids and polygons using Cabri software.

Students calculate the are of regular polygons. In this geometry lesson, students create polygons on the computer and move it around to create different shapes. They explore the area of different polygons and how they inter-relate.

Students construct midsegments. In this geometry lesson, students make conjectures and apply properties of triangles to solve problems. They complete an activity on the computer.

Young scholars construct triangles. In this geometry lesson, students create equilateral triangles. They also construct triangles where the sides are different. They use the lab to create and move shapes around with the Cabri program.

Students examine what happens when air temperature drops and gets closer to the dewpoint. They perform a lab activity which illustrates the effects on humidity, precipitation and barometric air pressure.

Practice converting a conventional number into scientific notation, and vice-versa. Using an applet, they perform the operations of multiplication and division on numbers expressed in scientific notation.

Learners discover the property of density while participating in a lab exercise. In this scientific measuring lesson plan, pupils utilize a scale to measure the density of different metal materials. They document their work and present...

Learners collect data, organize and analyze the data and compare it to real life scenarios. This assignment requires two class periods.

Student Teachers are given the opportunity to examine how to use a computer-based laboratory for inquiry. The practice is done to teach future teachers how to use these tools so they can be ready for use in the classroom environment.

High schoolers calculate the volume of scale model dinosaurs using a water displacement method. They use formulas to calculate the live mass each of the species of dinosaur. Then they complete and discuss a series of questions.

Students discuss the role of the firefighter. In this firefighter instructional activity, students visit a fire station and see the equipment that firefighters use. They complete a math page on numbers and write a journal entry...

Students after investigating examples of exponential growth students have an intuitive feel for the concept of exponential growth of a system.

Students create line graphs for given data in Microsoft Excel. Students follow step by step instructions on how to create their graph, including how to create a trend line. Students print graphs without trend lines and manually draw...

Learners use Excel spreadsheets to organize purchases, discounts, sales prices, and sales tax. Students follow step by step instructions and enter formulas as well as use the auto sum feature to calculate required calculations.

Students extend linear and directional patterns, identify patterns in classroom and community environments, create original patterns incorporating the senses of sight and sound, and operate video and recording equipment.

Students investigate the Napoleon triangle theory. In this polygon lesson, students  differentiate between the boundary points, interior and lattice point of a polygon. They apply concepts of equilateral triangles to solve...

Young scholars create a compost cake. In this gardening and decomposition science instructional activity, students review and describe the "nutrient cycle." Young scholars create a compost pile, measure and record the dimensions and...

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

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

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