Young scholars build and observe a simple aneroid barometer to discover changes in barometric pressure and weather forecasting. They graph changes in barometric pressure for two weeks and make weather predictions.

Students construct a sketch of the planets in our solar system using concentric circles and angles. For this solar system lesson plan, students plot the position of each planet on concentric circles using graph paper. The sun is included...

High schoolers solve logarithmic equations. They graph and plot logarithmic functions and use algebraic steps and the calculator to simplify and solve the equations.

Students find the density of two substances. In this density lesson plan, students determine the density of water and ethyl alcohol and compare their densities. They enter their data into the computer to produce a class compiled graph....

Mathematicians use a symmetric secant line to prove the derivative at a point. For this trigonometry lesson, young scholars create secant lines on the navigator to analyze the derivative. They move the lines around and make observations.

Pupils explore the concept of angles and transversals. They construct parallel and non-parallel lines cut by a transversal using Cabri Jr. Learners then determine which angles are congruent and the relationship of angles when two lines...

In order to investigate local linearity, students graph the function on the TI-calculator and zoom to observe the change in slope on the line. They incorporate technology to visualize these problems.

Students calculate the area under a curve. In this calculus lesson, students use Riemann Sums to find the area under a curve. They apply the boundaries of intervals as they solve for each area.

In this physics review learning exercise, students review vocabulary words associated with speed, acceleration, Newton's Laws and simple machines, work and energy, magnetism, electricity, and harmonic motion and light. This learning...

Students compare food prices to find the lowest unit price and make choices about where to shop and what to purchase on weekly items, cost comparisons and items needed. They collect grocery ads and weekly sale flyer's to expedite their...

Label angles of parallel lines to analyze the angles created by a transversal and two parallel lines. They graph their lines and observe the similarity and difference in the angles.

Fourth graders write about slavery and freedom.  In this freed slaves instructional activity, 4th graders read historical information about free blacks during slavery and explore books, objects and slave narratives to learn...

Pupils identify and define intersecting lines and vertical angles. They draw two intersecting lines and measure one pair of vertical angles. Learners will also move a line to change the angles of a figure and describe the changes in the...

Students explore mathematics by viewing cartoons. For this math functions lesson, students read several "Peanut" cartoons on their worksheets as they solve fraction problems and compare them to the comic strip. Students utilize addition,...

In this environmental activity students complete a series of multiple choice and short answer questions on animal populations, cell structure and chromosomes.

Learners survey the class and graph the results. In this graphing and data collection lesson, students conduct a survey to see where their shirts were produced. Individuals use software to graph the results and create a written...

Students explore the topics of inflation and deflation within the economy. The Consumer Price Index is used to contrast the price of goods today with that of years past.

In this physics review worksheet, students complete 24 matching and problem solving questions pertaining to math code, speed, experiments and variables, slope, and acceleration and average speed.

Students participate in a variety of mini-lessons including experiments, literature readings, physical education components, music, data gathering and recording and more to expose them to several themes of weather; i.e. water cycle,...

Students solve quadratics by factoring. For this algebra lesson, students factor quadratic equations using two different methods. They solve the equations and graph using the intercepts.

Students relate the use of a cell phone to math. In this algebra lesson, students collect data on the usage of their phones and plot it. They analyze the graph and make predictions based on the rate per minute.

Sixth graders explore potential and kinetic energy. In this science lesson, 6th graders assume the role of a roller coaster engineer and design a roller coaster. Students use their knowledge of kinetic and potential energy to design a...

In this math worksheet, students determine the range of the function. Then they graph the functions while finding the coordinates on the plane.

Sixth graders discover transformations. In this graphing lesson, 6th graders explore visual examples of plotting transformations as they review translations, rotations, and reflections. Students also practice solving problems that their...
