Students identify areas of interest and conduct preliminary research using on-line and library resources to develop their thesis statements.

Students visit a number of web sites on immigration created by other Students, evaluate types of research used, structure of sites, and what types of information were included.

Students visit the student-created John Schick's Virtual Ellis Island Museum website. They evaluate the sorts of research the students carried out to create their site, how they structured the site, and what sort of information and...

Students visit John Schick's Virtual Ellis Island Museum in order to complete research and evaluate how students created their site, how they structured the site, and what sort of information and graphics they included. This list is...

Learners develop an action plan to prevent trash from becoming a problem in the future.

Young scholars develop a questionnaire to distribute via e-mail or Web page forms that visitors fill out based on the data they gathered during their clean-up activities.

Students apply and generalize data, and prepare and present an oral presentation with a visual aid.

Students explore habitats and the needs of living things. They research a selected animal. Students use KidPix and create a variety of animal riddles. They combine their riddles with those of classmates to create their animal books.

First graders learn basic computer terminology by viewing and participating in a PowerPoint presentation.

Students use Curveball to complete the activity to determine how the speed of airstreams changes in relation to changes in the distance of the airstream from the center of the baseball.

Students use FoilSim interactive software to become familiar with the way in which the flow of air across or around an airfoil affects its ability to create lift.

Students, through the use of the Curveball interactive software package, become familiar with the way in which the flow of air across or around an object affects its ability to lift, spin, and curve. After reading the explanation given...

Students, after reading the explanation given below, use FoilSim to gather and record data on temperature and altitude generated by the FoilSim control panel.

Students, after reading the explanation given below, use FoilSim and a graphing calculator to complete the activity to determine the relationship between airspeed and lift of an object by interpreting data.

Students read an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook, then demonstrate an understanding of the text by using it, along with FoilSim, to complete an activity that manipulates the lift coefficient equation.

Ninth graders use FoilSim to fulfill the specifications of a given airfoil (wing) and plot and interpret graphs.

Pupils complete word searches based on nutrition vocabulary. In this nutrition lesson plan, students choose the food group and select a word search based on the group.

Learners read an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook on lift and an explanation on the FoilSim software package given below. They use FoilSim to evaluate the relationship between wing area and lift.

Students, after reading an explanation on lift from a NASA Web-based textbook and an explanation on the FoilSim software package given below, use FoilSim to evaluate the relationship between velocity and lift.

Students search for information and pictures of dinosaurs to distinguish between meat-eating and plant-eating dinosaurs. They explore theories about their extinction, and create illustrations of dinosaurs using Kid Pix or other drawing...

Pupils compare and describe objects of differing lengths that are presented in a Mathkeys software compare mat. Working in pairs, one student is the chooser who sets up the objects while the other student is the sizer who puts the...

In this genetics worksheet, students access a website to learn about how human genes mutate to cause heritable disorders such as Huntington disease. Students use the information on this website to complete 12 short answer questions.

Second graders participate in a review of how to use rulers and yard sticks while collecting measurement information. They measure assigned body parts and chart the data on collection sheets. They make a spreadsheet with the information...

Students put together food group puzzles on the computer and identify the healthy message in the end. In this food lesson plan, students identify the food group that the puzzle is representing as well.
