So many bodily activities depend on homeostasis! Give learners a solid background to understand the basic process of the human body. Scholars first examine negative feedback loops contributing to body temperature regulation and then a...

Geometric constructions build relationships —by simply manipulating simple tools. An interactive lesson presents a completed construction of a segment bisector and has learners analyze the important aspects. Ultimately, they should be...

Explore constructions through an interactive online lesson. Given an example of an angle bisector construction, learners investigate the markings to determine the method used. Challenge questions help solidify the steps. 

Enough with the talking, let's build something! In the fifth step in the engineering design process, young engineers build a prototype to test their ideas. The lesson walks them through the process of evaluating it step-by-step....

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...

High schoolers plan and construct a "mini-lab" to measure the reflectivity of different earth surfaces. They measure reflectivity of materials, including ice, soil, rocks, etc., and then extrapolate from what they have learned to...

Seeking to derive the formula for the volume of a square pyramid, geometry learners construct six square based pyramids that, when pieced together properly, form a cube. Two short videos demonstrate the relationship...

Apply matrices to fashion. Here your classes use a matrix to create a popular clothing design. As they construct the pattern, they review the dimensions of a matrix by considering the rows and columns. 

Given four suggested concepts, emerging electrical engineers research, design, and constuct a working device that willrespond to changes in the intesnisty or the direction of sunlight. This is a challenge for learners to rise to, as the...

Seventh graders design, construct, refine, and test cars that they build on the computer screen. They find the density of several objects using the techniques used to find volume. They measure various common objects to become more...

Students study the nomenclature, operation and purpose of America's Space Transportation system. They demonstrate how water can be broken down into its component gases of hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis. They construct and use the...

Students design an instrument to show that air is all around. For this air lesson plan, students research, construct, and present a design that proves that air is all around, even though they can't see it or touch it. A teacher and...

Students compare spinach. For this Science lesson, students construct an experiment to test fresh, frozen, and canned spinach taste and texture. Students record their findings in charts and graphs.

Use what you know about parallel and perpendicular lines to write equations! Learners take an equation of a line and write an equation of a line that is parallel or perpendicular using slope criteria. They then solve problems to...

Students determine how a stop animation movie is created. They compare the similarities of a stop animation movie to a flip book and construct a flip book showing fluid motion. They examine the different theories about why when a series...

Students design posters on the ozone to be judged. They design a board game on the depletion of the ozone and list the layers of the atmosphere. They construct a collage of the atmosphere into layers according to the way temperature...

Students investigate what causes electrical circuits to work. They construct a wire circuit and pass a paperclip through the maze, trying not to touch the wire, and answer discussion questions.

Students stud the concept of Pangaea by using Wegener's clues to construct a map of the continents joined together. They determine how fossil distribution can be used to enhance the study of continental drift. They locate the...

Pupils explore the control of expression of DNA into proteins which is divided into two main categories: transcriptional and post-transcriptional. They construct examples of the control mechanisms and discuss disease processes that...

Learners relate math to different areas of construction. In this algebra lesson, students identify the relationship between shapes and the way math is used in architecture. They investigate properties of the Parthenon as it relates to...

Students explore the human body by participating in a construction activity. In this health care lesson, students identify the uses and importance of having access to a stretcher when conducting emergency medical service. Students...

Students create building and models using scale factors. In this geometry instructional activity, students apply the properties of ratio and proportion to solve problems. They identify the means and extremes property of cross...

Designed specifically for lower elementary pupils, this is a great biographical research project in which students research a famous American, and then design creative poster boards to help them "become" the famous...

Students identify and test variables that may affect the accuracy of a rain gauge. They share findings of their research with the class in a 'mini-meteorology-convention'. They design an experiment with a control setup to test their...
