Students study the cost of raising students based on different geographic locations and income levels. They study tables from the USDA and listen to audio tapes.

First graders examine seeds. In this Science lesson, 1st graders classify and dissect seeds. Students sprout their own seeds in the classroom.

Second graders sort M & M's and then enter the data into a spreadsheet in order to create a simple graph. After printing the spreadsheet generated graph, have students compare the printed graph with their paper graph.

Students develop procedures to explore the behavior of fish.  In this scientific experiment lesson students from a hypothesis, write a question, identify different variables and controls in their experiment. 

Young scholars use the graphing calculator and the core equation: y=Ax^2+Bx+C where A = the acceleration of gravity/2, B = the initial velocity, and C = initial height above ground to graph parabolas for Earth and Mars. They experiment...

Students conduct Internet research to discover the reason why leaves change color in autumn. On a nature walk around school grounds, they collect leaves of various colors and shapes over a three-week period. finally, students select...

Students translate functions horizontally and vertically. In this algebra lesson, students identify the parts of the formula that allows the graph to move left, right, up and down. They perform a transformation on the coordinate plane.

Students identify the basic transformations of parent functions. They use their graphing calculator to create a transformation booklet by folding a sheet of computer paper in half and stapling along the folded edge.

Fourth graders identify the counties of Arizona. In this social studies lesson, 4th graders color a county map of Arizona using the fewest number of colors possible. Students write a persuasive paragraph.

Students determine their reaction time using a ruler. In this Physics lesson plan, students calculate the class' means and variances. They plot the graph and analyze if there are outliers.

High schoolers demonstrate an understanding of the properties of matter by applying them to density, pressure, and temperature. The educational software program, "Foilsim" is used in this inquiry.

Students use FoilSim to design an airplane wing that generates a given lift. As they change parameters such as airspeed, altitude, angle of attack, thickness and curvature of the airfoil, and size of the wing area, the software...

Eighth graders examine the cultural conflicts that occurred when Europeans moved into the land the Native Americans lived on that would become West Virginia. In this West Virginia history instructional activity, 8th graders visit the...

Students practice the art of listening. In this listening skills lesson, students listen to an old-time radio show and identify hidden messages, innuendo, sarcasm, double entendres, puns, hyperbole, irony, colloquialisms, inflections,...

Student observes and measures the variability in the length of the forearm and the length of the foot and to test a common belief that the length of the foot is equal to the length of the forearm.

High schoolers solve inequalities problems. In this algebra lesson, students graph the solution of inequalities on a number line. They discuss boundaries and open or closed intervals.

Students solve equations and graph-their solutions. In this algebra lesson, students, identify the type of line using the slope of the equation. They graph and observe their lines.
