Through an interdisciplinary lesson plan, 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...

Learners survey the class and graph the results. In this graphing and data collection lesson, students conduct a survey to see where their shirts were produced. Individuals use software to graph the results and create a written...

Young scholars explore the concept of patterns. In this patterns lesson, students use applets to manipulate tessellations. Young scholars predict the next number in a sequence by recognizing patterns.

Learners discover the variety and beauty of objects in the sky and the ability of a research telescope to obtain quantitative information about these objects. They use the SkyServer Navigation Tool to identify objects and record...

In this math worksheet, students examine the concept of floating point arithmetic. They compare the tools of chopping and rounding to measure accuracy.

Young scholars read a NASA Web-based text, then demonstrate an understanding of the text by using it to complete an activity on the center of gravity of a commercial cargo airplane.

Students participate in a pedometer challenge as part of their ongoing physical education program. They use the pedometers to measure the number of steps they take over a given amount of time. They are encouraged to set improvement goals.

Students monitor the pH level of the precipitation in their local area for one month. In this hands-on activity, students use lab equipment to measure the pH levels and an online tool to track their findings. Ultimately, students seek to...

Students explore the concept of the coordinate plane. In this coordinate plane lesson, students graph points on the coordinate plane using an applet. Students graph functions using an applet. Students play a Maze Game where they must...

Young scholars use the scientific method to make predictions about mold growth. In this fungus lesson plan, students use worksheets to help them illustrate predictions and graph mold growth from white to wheat bread. Young scholars first...

Students study the Beaufort Scale and use it to study wind in their community. In this wind study lesson, students watch a DVD about climate change and learn about the Beaufort Scale. Students complete a worksheet for the topic.

Students use magnifiers and telescopes to view things close up. In this magnifiers and telescopes lesson plan, students use the tools to identify things that are close and far away. Students tell details of things they can see closer.

Students investigate circles and spheres. In this space shapes lesson, students compare and contrast two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Students investigate the relationship between plane and space shapes.

In this learning tool worksheet, students use this multi-purpose grid to find measurements or graph objects. Teachers can determine how to use this 7 inch by 8 inch grid.

Pupils compare, order, and measure objects. In this measurement lesson, students are assessed on their ability to order, compare, and measure objects. This is an assessment only lesson and does not include instruction.
