In this energy resources worksheet, students complete 12 questions in the format of puzzles, teasers, and twisters. Examples include a modified cryptoquip and pictogram.

Eighth graders discuss how data is collected and participate in data collection through a survey. They complete a scavenger hunt on the Internet to gain understanding of the data measures mean, median, mode, and range.

Students explore the concept of logarithms.  In this logarithms lesson, students discuss the logarithm properties.  Students use linear functions as a basis to develop the logarithm properites by substituting log b and log a...

Fourth graders experiment to determine how overpopulation effects ecosystems specifically plants. In this ecosystem lesson, 4th graders conduct an ecosystems experiment after listening to Claire Daniel's, Ecosystems. They watch a video,...

Students factor trinomials and other quadratic functions. For this algebra lesson, students solve trinomials containing negative and positive coefficients. They factor quadratics of difference squares as well as regular polynomials.

Eighth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem and practice applying the theorem to various triangles. Finally, in the next lesson in the sequence, 8th graders create a song or a story to help them remember the Pythagorean Theorem.
