Build a scale model of a home built out of shipping containers. A hands-on activity has scholars watch a video about a home built from shipping containers and then design their own home. They build scale models of their designed homes...

Students plan a voyage as the captain of a tall ship in the early days of exploration and merchant trading. They choose 2 ships and 3 voyages for a total of 6 possibilities. They calculate the number of days and distance of their...

Students identify the inside parts of a dog salmon in English and Athabascan. They weigh each part of the salmon and determine the percentage of the whole that the part represents.

Students conduct a "one-question interview" about standardized tests. They assess two sections of a standardized test that they took or will take this year and write an article for their school newspaper that consolidates their test...

The Golden Ratio. The Divine Proportion. Yup. It's math and art blended into one colorful activity. Young artists combine colored tissue paper circles and parts of circles to create geometric patterns. As a bonus, kids get to figure out...

Young scholars experiment with a variety of liquids to calculate density. In this integrated science and math lesson plan, students listen to a story in which the characters must prove and explain why 5 "mystery" liquids react in a...

Students work in groups to compare the density of different liquids.  In this density lesson, students use cooking oil, liquid detergent and water to measure density.  Students record their results and check the accuracy of...

Learners recognize the effect of Earth's gravity on an object's weight. In this force and motion instructional activity students understand the role of gravity when you drop an object. Learners experiment with small items. Students...

Young scholars perform an experiment to find the linear relationship between the appllied weight and the bend of the cantilever. In this linear relationships lesson, students follow detailed directions to set up an experiment. They add...

Students discover the need for standard units of measurement. They be engaged in estimation, problem solving, and use of measurement tools to begin an understanding of the metric system.

Students identify the most appropriate metric prefix to use. They describe the usefulness of a system based on tens. Students compare the metric system to the American system of measurement. They develop a metric flip book to use a...

Students discover the difference between triangles. In this triangle lesson plan, students discuss the different types of triangles, then draw the three different types of triangles. The teacher will draw, or model, how to draw the...

Pupils culminate a unit on measurement with a focus on area and perimeter. They design a floor plan of their dream room on graph paper showing the proper area and perimeter. They plan the budget for their room and make a 3-D scale model...

Sixth graders will determine the circumference, diameter, and radius of a circle. In this circle lesson plan, 6th graders will measure the appropriate amount to find these measurements on circles.

Students analyze velocity and how it is determined. They experiment with velocity in order to measure and calculate the magnitude of speed. They use examples in their novel "Skateboard Renegade" to relate velocity to real life situations.

Students discover the concept of elapsed time. In this calculating time lesson plan, students utilize the Internet to complete record sheets based on the concept of elapsed time. Finally, the students answer questions on their own.

Students draw triangles. In this shapes lesson, students discuss what they already know about triangles, what they are and what they are made up of. Students discuss the types of triangles and practice drawing each type.

Young scholars explore measurements and geometric formulas. In this geometry lesson, students investigate pi as it relates to geometry. They collect data and use a chart to organize the data.

Young scholars translate a mathematical idea from one form to another. They compare and convert a given measurement to another unit within the same measurement system.

Students practice the fundamentals of converting metric measurements. They translate a mathematical idea from one form to another and compare and convert a given measurement to another unit within the same measurement system. Students...

Students view an interactive video to explore the concepts of estimation. They work cooperatively to measure, make comparisons, make predictions, and verify results.

Students explore the concept of angles by interacting with numerous types of measurements. They create index cards with different angles. Then they pass the cards around to other students for comparison and measurement. They practice the...

Sixth graders investigate the concept of an angle. They classify an angle according to its type. The lesson has students practice with acute, right, and obtuse angles. A unique part is when telling time using clock hands is related to...

Students consider perimeter and circumference. In this lesson plan on perimeter, students will determine relationships between perimeter and circumference using real life examples.
