Students create a scrapbook. For this geometry lesson, students use digital cameras to take pictures of geometrical concepts. Students use the pictures to create a "Geotown" scrapbook.

Students are introduced to basic aerodynamics through a discussion of thrust and drag and a hands-on activity. They examine the forces of thrust, drag, air pressure, aerodynamic shapes and Newton's Third Law Of Motion.

Students examine buoyancy and fluid pressure. They conduct a series of fun experiments to discover the effects of pressure and explore how pressure differences can be used to float, lift, transport, or hold a material in place.

Pupils examine basic electrical components. They build a simple electrical circuit which rings a buzzer. They experiment with conducting and nonconducting materials.

Students listen to the song, The Wheels on the Bus. Instead of a bus, students attempt to sing the song using a different mode of transportation.

Students read the short poem for each number to help them with number formation. In this numbers lesson plan, students follow directions of the poems.

Students differentiate between different planes. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between a plane and a sphere. They discuss the Great Circle, Geodesic and Lune as it relates to the earth.

Student study addition properties. For this addition properties lesson, students use multiple methods to solve various types of problems. Students illustrate and describe in various ways the Commutative Property of Addition....

Students investigate probability through a game. In this data lesson, students use dice and predictions to explore how probability works.

Students discuss comparing the size of two different sets of blocks. They estimate the length of the long blocks by answering the following questions: How can you use the small blocks to find out?, and How many small blocks does it...

Third graders are introduced to the concepts of force and motion. In groups, they travel between stations to analyze the effect of force and motion on various objects. They research how various careers use these concepts as well.

Pupils explore how ice cream is made in a factory and at home. They help make ice cream in the classroom. They measure out the ingredients. Students share the ice cream when it is done.

Students review Mexico's location and language and learn to pronouns 10 new Spanish food words. Students listen as the book, Corn is Maize is read, touching and passing around an ear of Indian corn. Students discuss the contribution of...

Seventh graders complete activities to further their understanding of area formulas. In this area lesson plan, 7th graders watch as the teacher uses Polystrips to model parallelograms. Students find the area of a rectangle and answer...

Students sort shoes. In this sorting lesson, students use shoes to explore attributes and practice sorting. This lesson encourages the use of a Venn Diagram to aide in student sorting.

Students practice grouping in different ways by putting numbers up to 1,000 in the correct place value. In this place value lesson plan, students estimate items in a jar and then count them out by grouping them by 10s.

Young scholars construct a set of tangrams. In this geometry lesson, students read the book, Grandfather Tang's Story and retell the story using tangrams. Young scholars construct their own set of tangrams using the included worksheets.

Students investigate the area and circumference of a circle. In this geometry activity, students estimate and measure the radius, diameter and circumference of a circle. This assignment has an online part that is interactive.

Fifth graders use their arm, toothpicks, and marshmallows to create lines, segments, and rays. In this lines, segments, and rays lesson plan, 5th graders learn how these appear on a plane.

Students solve problems dealing with ratios and proportions. For this algebra lesson, students rewrite word problems using equations and symbols. They correctly convert between percents and decimals.

Learners investigate shapes and patterns. In this algebra lesson, students move from concrete to abstract understanding of shapes and concepts. They use variable to identify the unknown.

Students investigate optical illusions. For this optical illusions lesson, students explore perception. Students analyze optical illusions and determine common misconceptions.

Students identify the slope of a line given two points on the line. In this algebra activity, students solve linear equations by finding and comparing slopes of lines. They differentiate between the steepness of the slope and the line.

Students identify and define properties of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify the missing sides and angles of right triangles. They use the rules of the Pythagorean Theorem to solve their problems.
