Students identify and create angles. In this angle measurement lesson, students use sticks to make models of angles, then measure and name each angle.

Students construct and compare the actions of various pendulums. In this pendulum motion lesson, students build and test different types of pendulums. They conduct experiments with the length of the swing arm and apply mathematical...

Learning about proportions through measuring and mapping distances is the focus of this real-world math lesson plan that doubles as an activity. Mathematicians complete a course designed to measure and map locations in order to put the...

Students design sleds. In this engineering lesson, students collaborate to engineer and build a real working sleds from the materials provided.  This lesson was originally designed to be taught to a group of female students.

In this algebra worksheet, students review geometric and algebraic concepts for the state exam at the end of the year. They discuss factoring and volumes, prisms and measuring. There are over 16 pages of questions on this lesson.

Young scholars construct two dimensional models to illustrate squared numbers. For this geometry lesson, students use graph paper and an x/y axis to build squares exponentially. Young scholars identify powers and relationships between...

Students participate in activties examining ratios and proportions. They use graphs to interpret data showing the government's budget for prisons. They present what they have learned to the class.

In this physics assessment, students complete a series of multiple-choice and short-answer questions on altitude, velocity, and energy.

Fifth graders determine how to calculate the perimeter and area of given geometric shapes. They use specific shapes to create a picture using a software program. They determine the area and perimeter of the shapes used in the picture.

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

Fifth graders gain an appreciation for mandalas in many cultures. Compare and contrast designs from many cultures. They see geometric design in mandalas and become aware of symmetrical balance and radial balance. They create a mandala...

Students gather data from a web site on number of music albums sold by genre for the last two years. They convert these figures to fractions, decimals, and percents, and display the results in bar graphs and pie charts.

Seventh graders create a graph of their Christmas gifts. They develop categories, compute fractional and decimal parts for each category, identify the number of degrees to represent each fractional part, and create a circle graph to...

Through an interdisciplinary lesson, emerging engineers explore the history of surveying systems. After discussing various systems, they perform surveys on printable pages. Using their geometric skills, they physically stake out plots...

Student and compare the three types of friction. In this physics lesson, students determine the coefficient of friction using the CEENBoT. They investigate how friction changes as the angle of the incline changes.

Where can you see an aurora in North America? After completing an astronomy activity, scholars can locate the exact coordinates. Pupils plot points of the inner and outer ring of the auroral oval and answer questions based on...

Pupils participate in mapping an actual waterway. They include reach lengths, transects, compass reading, and scale determinations. They include windfalls, plant cover, types of streambed composition, and landmarks such as trees and...

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

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