Students hone in on their skills at reading diagrams.  In this dimensional lesson students collect information on the functions of organs then figure out how all the parts work together. 

Fourth graders identify literary techniques by participating in a class discussion. For this organization lesson, 4th graders practice public speaking while presenting ideas for a story to their classmates as well as critiquing the ideas...

Students create three dimensional shapes using concept maps. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the impact of mental schemas on humans. They collect data on this topic and plot their data on a coordinate plane.

Students examine two- and three-dimensional shapes and figures. Individually, they practice identifying the shape from various viewpoints. By completing this activity, they develop a spatial sense about how figures and shapes are...

Students explore Earth science by building a model in class. In this tectonic plate lesson, students identify the impact tectonic shifts have on humans and animals and where the plates and faults lie under New Zealand. Students examine...

Students define and identify shapes by name. In this geometry lesson, students construct, identify and compare polygons based on the number of sides. They classify each shape based on their angle sum theorem.

Students construct a bridge that can hold 100 pennies. For this math lesson, students evaluate the strength of their bridges. They predict how much weight a bridge can hold based on its design.
