Explore hearing loss and ways in which technology can help the hearing impaired by experiencing a simulation of hearing impairment and by researching in order to present related topics. Learners will also investigate and evaluate dangers...

Students study hearing testing and explore frequency and tone.  In this hearing impairment lesson students complete several activities including one that graphs audio-grams in younger and older people. 

Students assemble a diagram of the hearing pathway using information about its parts and their function, and predict the changes in hearing that might result from specific changes to the pathway.

Second graders identify the different function and parts of the ear. In this physics instructional activity, 2nd graders explain how we hear sound. They read about the life of Helen Keller and respond to questions that follow.

Eighth graders consider how they use their senses. In this biology lesson plan, 8th graders understand the definition of a disability and how it affects Americans who are hearing impaired or deaf, and those Americans who are visually...

Why is the end of a spoon hot when it's not all the way in the hot water? A great question deserves a great answer, and learners with visual impairments will use their auditory and tactile senses to get that answer. A talking...

Young scholars explore hearing loss caused by sound waves. For this physical science lesson plan, students will start by learning about waves and wave characteristics and move into sound waves. Young scholars will study how sound effects...

Students engage in a variety of activities in order to increase knowledge about The Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Program. They build a model of the ear and demonstrate to the instructor the anatomy of the ear and explain the...

Study the nutrition of elderly people and how it helps them to remain independent and healthy.  Learners investigative the nutrition concerns of the elderly. MyPlate, vitamine requirements and sensory changes in the elderly are...

Students discuss the amount of diversity at their school. They examine a culture other than their own and share it with their classmates. They discuss the importance of diversity to end the lesson.

Students explore human behavior by exploring mental and physical disabilities. In this learning disability lesson, students identify the different disabilities students have which prevent them from working at the same pace as the rest of...

First graders explore vowels and consonants by participating in a flash card activity. In this phonetics lesson, 1st graders discuss the difference between short and long vowels and identify them within a story told to them by their...

Young scholars design a morning routine for a 60 year old female senior with vision disorder. In this biology lesson, students collaborate with their team to come up with possible solutions. They present at least two ideas of their...

Students identify the properties and theorems of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students construct angle bisectors using a compass and straight edge. They identify triangular similarity and congruency.

Students explore their five senses by experimenting with classmates. For this blindness lesson, students utilize blindfolds while performing everyday activities and discuss the inherent challenges of not having vision. Students view a...

Students recognize that everyone is different. In this physical differences instructional activity, students participate in three activities highlighting differences among people. In activity one, students discover differently "abled"...

Students study the ways peers can pressure them on a daily basis. They watch video segments on how to better deal with peer pressure.

Students discover the Sieve of Erathosthenes. They explore a method to find all the prime numbers in a group of numbers. Using models, students practice divisibility rules while examining the difference between prime and composite numbers.

Students pick a tree they see everyday. They measure the tree's circumference and estimate its height using similar triangles. Students are introduced to Computational Science. They use computers and calculators to compute values...

Students explore the relationship of resistance, voltage and current in series and parallel circuits. Then they discover Ohm's Law by constructing series circuits with one resistor and putting the resultant resistance, current and...

Young scholars explore lunar eclipses and discover how to predict an eclipse the same way that ancient people did. They examine dates of recorded eclipses and find a pattern. Students apply an algorithm to the pattern.

Young scholars observe interrelationships and interdependencies of organisms which may generate stable ecosystems. They also study that living organisms have the capacity to produce infinite sized populations, but environments and...

Students investigate the supposed traveling path of a meteorite. They use sound in order to triangulate the path. The results of the experiment are written on a map to display the path of the meteorite. The culminating activity is when...

Young scholars examine the extinction of plants and animals through loss of habitat. They investigate the effects of global warming. They use a computer model to analyze the impact of global warming on tree growth and distirbution...
