In this chain rule worksheet, students use the chain rule and substitution to find partial derivatives. They identify total surface area, and find the distance from the origin to the plane. This one-page worksheet contains seven...

Math wizards learn the five-step plan to solve math word problems. They investigate the five-step process for solving word problems, and examine the use of code words for each of the operations and solve a problem using the strategies.

Pupils examine two types of soils in their area. They identify its texture and permeability to determine its origin. They share their results with the class.

A home improvement plan can help adult learners preparation for the GED exam. They review vocabulary, prepare diagrams, complete a worksheet, calculate perimeters and analyze how to approach a story problem. They identify many geometry...

Students explore birds, their territory, breeding, and seasonal movement. They research and collect information on birds through writing letters to ornithologists, reading in books, comparing web sites, and observing pictures. Students...

Students read about and discuss how chemical engineers use different states of matter to create substances. In this chemical engineering lesson plan, students also give examples of the 3 kinds of matter.

Students discover the relationships of the lengths of the sides of right triangles and right triangles using a series of drawings on dot paper. They investigate and solve problems of standard (customary and metric units) and non-standard...

Students design, then construct an architectural structural model of a two-person dwelling. Then, Students, in groups, plan a city layout.

Fifth graders estimate perimeter, area, and volume. They measure perimeter and area using nonstandard units of measurement. Students add and subtract non-standard units of measurement. They add mixed numbers and simplify the sum.

Learners observe the process of transpiration in leaves. They measure how much water a leaf gives off in a 24-hour period, calculate the volume, and answer discussion questions.

Students need to be able to calculate the volume and surface area of a cuboid as well as present a systematic list of results in order to justify the minimum case. The use of three factors of 100 is also important.

Third graders estimate the volume and mass of one marshmallow using appropriate standard units. They design and carry out an investigation to find the average of volume/mass of one marshmallow.

Students graph lines in a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students graph lines on a coordinate plane, and identify the slope. They calculate the volume, area and perimeters of the shapes created on a coordinate plane.

Ten similar worksheets plus their answer keys are included in this resource. Each simply displays three right rectangular prisms with their length, height, and width printed on them. Fifth graders apply the formula for the volume of a...

Students measure angles, perimeter, area and volume. In this geometry instructional activity, students define different ways to measure and solve for the perimeter, area and volume of geometric shapes. They analyze and process...

Students explore the mathematical properties of traditional American Indian lodges. They examine the effect of increasing sides of a polygon, calculate the surface area of prisms and cylinders, and construct a classroom size pyramid...

Students define vocabulary related to geometry and calculate the volume. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate flow rates, and volume as it relates to a water plant facility. They calculate the volume of three dimensional...

In this heat transfer and phase change worksheet, learners experiment with ice, salt, and milk to show the relationship between the temperature of a solution and its phase. Students turn milk from a liquid to a solid and graph the...

Young scholars simulate the impact of fluctuating river volumes on structures and landforms. They experiment with table top-sized riverbed models and water. Students consider how human design can help mitigate the effects of a flood.

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

Eighth graders explore the term capacity and understand the word's meaning. They participate in several lab stations set up around the room in which they will estimate how many scoops it will take to fill the container. They then will...

Students collect data to create different types of graphs-line, pie, and bar graphs. They use StarOffice 6.0 to create graphs.

Students excavate an artifact. In this archaeology lesson, students get a bucket filled with dirt and a broken up artifact. They work in groups to take it out and to find what its purpose was. 

In this algebra activity, 11th graders solve word problems creating a right triangle. Students determine the point and direction this turn of ninety degrees occurs. There are 4 questions with an answer key.
