In this derivative worksheet, students solve ten multiple choice and ten free response problems.  These problems include: derivatives of trig functions, tangent lines, parametric equations, and instantaneous rates of change.

Fourth graders determine the value of ? by measuring the circumference and diameter of circular objects such as soup cans, Oreo cookies, etc..

Students locate transistor devices in school. They explain the importance of transistors.

Pupils perform simple experiments to show properties of enzymes through studying how apple sauce can turn into apple juice and experimenting with papaya seeds. Students witness how enzymes speed up reactions through witnessing the...

Students investigate the skin surface to body area ratios for different animals.  In this seventh/eighth grade mathematics/science lesson, students explore heat transfer between an animal’s body and the environment.  Using...

Eighth graders explore three-dimensional objects (prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones) to draw nets. They use the understanding of drawing nets to find the surface area of pyramids and cylinders.

Students observe a model of the distribution of the earth's water and compare the relative volumes and percentages of types of water on earth.

Students discover relationship between temperature pressure and volume as they perform research and experiments.

Students create an experiment. In this friction lesson plan, students review the concept of friction and complete a bottle roll activity. Students work in groups to create their own friction experiment.

Students explore models of density; wooden balls and marbles discussing whether they think the volume and mass are the same or different. They then compare the density of a loaf of bread that is squished and one that is not compressed.

Students match definitions with vocabulary words and learn basic facts about matter. Then, they see how to determine the physical characteristics of matter. They determine the mass, volume, and density of objects using appropriate tools...

Students define matter, the chemical properties of matter, and the physical properties of matter. They name physical and chemical properties of matter (by classifying using a Tree Map). Students determine the mass, volume, and density of...

Students predict the appearance of a geode's internal structure based on its mass and density. They form a hypothesis based on the data they collect. They also identify common minerals found in Illinois.

Fourth graders identify characteristics of a simple physical and chemical change. They describe objects by the properties of the materials from which they are made and that these properties can be used separate. Students describe the...

Students calculate the volume and surface are of three-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students use the nets to prove their calculations of shapes. They identify the different parts of a solid using the nets.

Young scholars explore what happens to water as it goes from solid to liquid and back. In this state of matter lesson, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state.

Ninth graders solve linear equations.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders investigate the properties of equations (Reflexive, Symmetric, Transitive, Substitution, and Transformation Properties) and use these properties to solve...

Learners 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.

Students construct a barrel or other curvy container and then estimate and gauge its volume.

Young scholars examine why some objects float while others do not. They place various objects in water to observe their floating capability. Students record the object, its weight, and if the object floated. They construct a graph...

Students determine an efficient layout of the pattern pieces needed to make a sports bag with given dimensions and specifications. Given a word problem, data set and a diagram, students evaluate the information they have available and...

Students see a demonstration of the concept of factors through modeling. They do an activity that help them explain further the concept of common factors and greatest common factor.

Ninth graders find the height of an object that would be difficult or impossible to measure directly. They construct and use a Clinometer to measure the angle of elevation (or depression). Students create a sketch of the measurement...

Pupils design a collage of pictures for a yearbook that make a shape. They determine the area of the shape and the price of putting the collage in the yearbook.
