Students build their own kite following certain procedures. In this physics instructional activity, students explain the aerodynamics concepts involved in flying kites. They trace the development of aviation.

Students explore how statistics can be interpreted in different ways.  In this probability lesson students complete a class lab activity then discuss their findings.

Students explore force and motion through a series of experiments. In this physics instructional activity, students create and interpret speed graphs. They build an electromagnet and explain the factors affecting its strength.

Students explore their senses. In this biology lesson plan, students will learn about their senses, what affects them, and how the brain works to control our senses in a series of lab activities.

Pupils explore various careers that involve math.

Students identify numbers as prime or composite and complete prime factorization of composite numbers.

Students participate in and conduct a survey to determine various class favorites. They collect, organize and display their data, interpret the results, and complete a packet of worksheets to display the information.

Learners practice their multiplication facts without the use of worksheets. They participate in an activity practicing their facts using a die. They record their progress and the game is adjusted as their level increases.

Students inspect solving equations with one variable. Through the use of a scale balance, they examine the importance of equality in an equation. By playing a balance game with figurines and a scale, students discover methods of...

Young scholars add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators. They "fish" for and solve a number of fraction problems requiring adding, subtracting, finding equivalent fractions, and using mixed numbers.

Students predict which of two glasses is 1/2 full using visual estimation, height measurement, and liquid measurement methods. Mathematical equations to accurately solve the problem are determined and verified.

Students listen to and use resources to translate an old Oneida story told in the Oneida language by an elder in the community. They then develop an illustrated slideshow of the story.

Students make calculations in order to construct a kite in the shape of an isosceles right triangle. In this kite lesson students calculate altitude of their flying kites using a formula.

Pupils and teachers share their individual concept of families to begin the lesson. As they read different pieces of literature, they keep a journal of the activities and problems each main character gets into. To end the lesson, they...

Students identify visual arts by examining visual models. In this art analysis lesson, students discuss the history of Keith Haring by researching information on the Internet. Students view images showing Keith Haring's work and...

Students studykinetic energy, friction, drag and acceleration by relating it to the Winter Olympics.  In this physical properties lesson plan students create tracks and determine how the course conditions affect bobsled, luge...

Young scholars write a timeline showing significant events in the Plymouth Colony that occurred between 1621 and 1628. They define and illustrate key vocabulary words which are imbedded in this lesson plan. This simple activity is...

Students are introduced to basic aerodynamics through a discussion of thrust and drag and a hands-on activity. They examine the forces of thrust, drag, air pressure, aerodynamic shapes and Newton's Third Law Of Motion.

Students learn the vocabulary of contemporary sculpture and distinguish between abstract and realistic sculpture, mobile and stabile, biomorphic and geometric. They write equations using Calder's mobiles

Students use red and blue litmus paper to determine the category of common substances. They then set up an experiment using vinegar, water, and ammonia (or milk of magnesia) to determine that acids make the best solution for dyeing...

Students examine buoyancy and fluid pressure. They conduct a series of fun experiments to discover the effects of pressure and explore how pressure differences can be used to float, lift, transport, or hold a material in place.

Students play a game after making digit cards.

Students investigate personal budgets and discuss how to make monetary decisions. They work in small groups to make money decisions for their classrooms or a playground, and present their decisions to the whole class.
