Build a soccer field through a little mathematical analysis. Individuals manipulate the dimensions of a soccer field as they drag points to new positions. The simulation shows the corresponding intercepts and area. As pupils explore the...

Young scholars play two versions of soccer--one with a full team and one with only two or three players. Then they assess they physical effects of both games--their heart rates, etc.

Middle schoolers discover the history of the World Cup and the current host country, South Africa.  In this athletics lesson, students utilize the Internet to research and complete a WebQuest about South Africa.  Middle...

Pupils research how engineers and scientists generate linear and angular measurements with geometry to survey the Earth and Mars. They assess how geometric shapes affect navigation. A surveyor comes to the classroom and explains how he...

Second graders investigate how objects can move in different ways. They move in different ways across the room and develop a class list of movement words. Students also conduct a measuring motion experiment, create a bar graph for the...

Sixth graders brainstorm the ways a person's actions can affect a community. As a class, one classmate is given a ball of yarn and pass it along to another student creating a web. Next, some classmates are asked to drop their part and...

Fifth graders explore geometry by creating shapes with construction paper. In this shape characteristics lesson, 5th graders identify the different attributes that make up specific shapes and create them using construction paper, rulers,...

Middle schoolers examine the law of conservation of momentum. In this physics instructional activity, students play marbles in order to compare the mass of the marble and velocities effects. Middle schoolers receive directions of the...

Students calculate the area and perimeter of a basketball court. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similarity and congruence of geometric objects. They test conjectures and use it to solve problems.
