What do Sherlock Holmes and geometry have in common? Why, it is a matter of deductive reasoning as the class learns how to justify each step of a problem. Pupils then present a known fact to ensure that their decision is correct.

Students investigate the associative property of addition. For this associative property of addition lesson, students work in pairs and build addition problems with six blocks. They sit on either side of a desk so that they can "read"...

What in the world is the zeroth power? Examine the patterns of exponents as they apply to the zeroth power. Scholars apply the zero property to simple exponential expressions in this fourth lesson in a series of 15. The examples include...

Students discuss the light spectrum and light waves as well as how the properties of light and color have contributed to important discoveries about properties of the universe. They research the term redshift and the redshift phenomenon...

Learners explore the distributive property. In this algebra lesson plan, students are given Fruit Loops or other manipulatives and the class is divided in half. Each half of the class completes part of the equation to show that both...

Explore the connection of surface area to bonding within atoms. Learners complete lab investigations to model changing surface area with different sizes and concentrations of atoms. A flour fireball demonstration follows the labs to...

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

High schoolers explore displacement. For this displacement and density lesson, pupils find the volume of irregular shaped objects. Afterward, they determine the volume of containers. They compute the amount of water displacement.

Students calculate the distance of two objects, and rewrite numbers using scientific notation. In this algebra lesson, students solve linear equations and plug the values back into the equations to check their answers. They write small...

Learners design their own Science experiment. For this science experiment lesson students create a hypothesis related to matter and test it. They displayed their data in a graph.

Ninth graders solve problems involving exponential functions. In this algebra instructional activity, 9th graders apply their knowledge of exponential properties to add, multiply, divide and subtract exponential functions. They perform...

Young scholars solve algebraic proportions. In this algebra lesson, students convert between fractions, percents and decimals. They solve problems using the distributive property.

Students create visuals on the TI Calculator to solve problems. In this algebra lesson plan, students perform basic operations with integers. They add, subtract, multiply and divide.

Young scholars develop procedures to explore the behavior of fish.  In this scientific experiment lesson students from a hypothesis, write a question, identify different variables and controls in their experiment. 

Students complete a unit of activities to learn about states of matter and how to measure matter. In this matter lesson plan, students complete 8 lessons to learn about matter, its states, and how to measure matter.
