Students investigate conservation laws using a potato launcher. In this physics activity, students measure angles, time and distance of the potato. They discuss applications of experiments like this.

Start out with angles by asking your pupils to read this reading passage. Class members will learn about degrees, right angles, acute angles, and obtuse angles and then respond to five questions about the text.

Students use simple machines that demonstrate force, friction, work and power. They investigate and explain simple machines.

Students explore lines of symmetry in geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students construct angles using mirrors and rubberbands, then predict the number of images that will appear in the reflection. Students reproduce lines of...

Students identify and research navigational tools used in deep sea explorations. They are introduced to a compass, the Global Positioning System and sonar technology and then describe their uses in underwater exploration.

Students apply their math skills to develop an accurate estimate of the height of a tall tree. Three different methods are outlined. All grade levels should be able to perform the shadow method and the proportional method.

Students operate a GPS unit to investigate the direction of glacier movement. They describe the motion of glacier movement by interpreting a graph. Students explain how scientists use glacier striations to determine glacier movement.

Ninth graders investigate how ancient cultures viewed their world in terms of astronomy. They read and discuss an informational handout, construct an astrolabe, and locate stars and constellations using star charts.

Learners construct a sketch of the planets in our solar system using concentric circles and angles. In this solar system lesson plan, students plot the position of each planet on concentric circles using graph paper. The sun is included...

Students test the adhesive strength of different tapes. In this adhesive lesson, students conduct an experiment to test the shear strength of the adhesives, take measurements, record data, and draw conclusions to explain each product's...

Tenth graders investigate the theorems of ASA, AAS, AAA and ASA. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders discuss the theorems of triangles and how it is used to solve for missing sides or angles. They review how two angles are formed by...

Learners maximizethe comfort-conditioning of a home.

Sixth graders investigate the nutritional value of different types of cereal. They take a survey of students that ate breakfast and create a circle graph with the results. Students examine the nutritional information on the sides of the...

Students investigate soap bubbles. In this soap bubble chemistry lesson, students observe a demonstration using pop-it beads to represent a soap molecule. Students produce soap bubbles in the lab by making bubbles with a large bubble...

High schoolers experiment with the angle that yields the greatest distance of water at constant pressure.  In this experiment with the angle that yields the greatest distance of water at constant pressure lesson, students shoot...

Tenth graders investigate parallel lines and the angles formed when cut by a transversal. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders construct perpendicular lines and discuss midpoint, segments and perpendicular bisectors. They relate...

Students investigate an accident and relate it to math. In this trigonometry lesson, students measure the accident scene, the friction produced, and the speed from the skid marks. They create a poster of their findings.

Learners observe and gather data from a model simulated home.  In this efficiency lesson students examine the factors that influence energy efficiency, complete a lab activity then draw conclusions from their data.

Students research and create a visual presentation on the seasonal salinity of the Earth's oceans. They apply the research in a simulation of a lab disaster in which they must relabel ocean samples.

Students create a piece of monochromatic art. In this monochromatic art lesson, students design a piece of art and analyze their painting objectively. Students connect color and emotions.

Students view a video clip about how men and women are portrayed in the media. They gather examples from magazines and graph the results. They discuss body image to end the lesson.

Students review map skills and practice finding locations on a map. In groups, they create maps with mystery locations identified by hidden stick-on magnets. Other groups attempt to find the mystery locations and then check their work...

Students address common misconceptions concerning reflection, light and mirrors. They investigate light reflection in mirrors and determine how light is transferred to the eye. In addition, they make predictions and then test them...
