Ninth graders examine the Protestant reformation.  In this World History lesson, 9th graders analyze various photographs from the Reformation.  Students watch a video clip of Luther's trip to Rome.   

Students investigate the movements of the planet Pluto. Students participate in a hands-on activity to record data similar to the movements of the planet Pluto. Students compare their data to that found on a website.

Students make conjectures of intersecting circles. In this geometry lesson, students observe circles and their position in space. They investigate and observe two and three dimensional objects.

Young scholars identify properties of circles. In this geometry lesson, students identify the center of two intersecting circles.They use Cabri software to create circles and move it around to make observation.

Students sketch a design based on "The Night Chanter." For this art design lesson, students listen to the Native American prayer, "The Night Chanter" and illustrate their personal vision of the chant. Students critique the sketches and...

First graders examine pictures of forest wildlife and identify different animals that live in the forest. They discuss resources the forest provides for human use and explore the concept that the forest is used by many at the same time.

Students are introduced to the notion of surface area and volume. Students review surface area and volume by finding the area of a two-dimensional shape. They practice using the computer to create different surface area shapes.

Second graders use cardinal and intermediate directions to locate places on maps and places in the classroom, school, and community. They draw a setting map of "Little Red Riding Hood." Students give five steps of cardinal or...
