Combines mathematical measurement with gardening skills. Third graders hunt for worms in the garden and try to find the longest one. They also measure and weigh vegetables that they harvest from the garden, measure rainfall amounts,...

Students make an earthquake simulator and test their structure to see if it lasts through the earthquake. In this earthquake lesson plan, students make a structure and test and record the results from an earthquake simulator made out of...

Students look at data in graphs with missing labels and use what they know about graphs to label the topics, titles, and axes of the graph. In this graph lesson plan, students pretend they are news reporters and have to fix their stories!

Sixth graders make 2 different kinds of parachutes and record and graph the time for each one for the different drag forces. In this parachute lesson plan, 6th graders compare the results to the rest of the class of each parachute and...

Students utilize computer programs to operate a simple robot.  In this technology lesson, students create robots using Lego pieces and simple motors to move them.  Students measure the speed of the robots by running Robolab...

Students identify the slope of an equation using various methods. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph linear equations and calculate the slopes using the x and y intercept to solve the equations and graph the lines....

Students create an airplane by listening to directions. They also to measure the pieces for the airplane and compare and contrast their test flights.

Students investigate and solve linear equations using slopes. In this algebra lesson, students graph lines using the slope and y intercept. They also find the slope by rewriting their equation in to slope-intercept form from standard form.

Twelfth graders examine the physics of rocket flight. They build and launch model rockets to measure their performances.

High schoolers collect real data on sound. In this algebra lesson, students use a CBL and graphing calculator to observe the graph created by sound waves. They draw conclusion about the frequency of sound from the graph.

Use coordinate grid paper to plot points and identify shapes that are already plotted on the paper by saying their coordinates. Pupils also measure the distance between points and play the game Battleship. There are several web links and...

Students apply abstract concepts, such as stress, fulcrums, the law of gravity, and the strength of different geometric shapes. Groups of student contractors operate simulated architectural firms to create strong, economical bridges.

Tenth graders appreciate the role of probability in understanding everyday situations. They Communicate a summary of financial projections in appropriate reports, tables, and graphs after creating a new game of chance.

Students explore maple syrup. In this natural resources lesson, students identify a maple tree in their neighborhood and observe the sap. Students sample maple products and create a graph of the taste-testing results.

Students create squares of different sizes on a geoboard. They find and describe a pattern. Students use the pattern to determine the number of squares possible on a 10-by-10 geoboard. They create squares with a horizontal base (and...
