Seventh graders identify variables and controls in a paper airplane investigation. In this scientific method lesson, 7th graders conduct an experiment to determine the variables that affect the flight of paper airplanes. They design an...

Everything you need to teach a lesson plan on two variable linear equations is right here. Objective, vocabulary, tech tips videos, and multiple downloadable files are all included. Learners will use the TI-Nspire technology to determine...

Here is an engaging lesson on solving equations with two variables. Have the class rewrite linear equations in the slope intercept form, y=mx + b. They graph the lines using the slope and y-intercepts.

Middle schoolers examine the effects of variables. They view a video which introduces the concepts, take part in an internet-based activity, then engage in a hands-on activity which allows them to practice what they have been studying.

Students identify and apply the scientific method through an experiment with popcorn. Then they identify what independent, dependent, and control variables are and create a list of different variables that affect popcorn popping....

Students solve equations by writing expressions. In this algebra instructional activity, students identify the different values for each variable. They use the navigator to see how to solve equations.

Students solve equations with variables on both sides of the equations. For this algebra lesson, students use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to solve problems. They combine like terms and identify the unknown.

Ninth graders conduct experiments to determine what affects the rate of a pendulum's swing. Working in small groups, they identify an independent variable to study and create an experiment to test their hypothesis. When tests are...

High schoolers investigate perimeter patterns formed by a hexagon and a triangle. They will identify the dependent and independent variable and write a function for the relationship.

Students will work in groups to design and conduct an experiment to identify amino acids found in an unknown solution. This lesson is taught in three sections: (1) Introduction to chromatography (2) Experimental design session (3)...

Students experiment to determine which bottle of soda has more dissolved carbon dioxide. In this solutions lesson, students use the scientific method to test the amount of carbon dioxide in bottles of soda. They identify and explain the...

Students watch a video show how to identify the independent variable, dependent variable and controls in an experiment; and design experiments that use controls to isolate a single independent variable and measure the resulting dependent...

Young scholars experiment bubbles. In this scientific method activity, students identify variables used in proper experiment design. Young scholars conduct experiments with different brands of dish-washing detergent to determine which...

The scientific method keeps you from believing only what you want to believe — it expands your mind. The instructional activity introduces the eight steps in the scientific process and how to design an experiment to biology scholars....

While pupils design their own lab experiments, they will not form a new species. Scholars take their materials and design an experiment regarding reaction rates. 

Learners design an experiment to test for the concentration of chloride in products. In this analysis of chloride concentration lesson plan, students develop and conduct an experiment to find the amount of chloride ion in a substance of...

Learners 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 experiment, observe, measure, and analyze what occurs during an exothermic reaction. They safely design an experiment, control variables, and properly dispose of materials.

Collaborative groups connect resistors and solar panels in series and measure electrical resistance, voltage, and current. The objective is to order 16 solar panels from strongest to weakest. They graph current-voltage and power curves...

Examine parts of an expression in this algebra lesson plan. Ninth graders identify the properties of the coefficient and their behavior to the graph. They graph the equation on a TI to see their results.

Young investigators conduct an experiment using the scientific method. They see how many drops of water fit on a coin; have them conduct several different trials. This involves making a hypothesis, looking at controls, and introducing...

An inquiry-based algebra instructional activity explores real-world applications of linear functions. Scholars investigate four different situations that can be modeled by linear functions, identifying the rate of change, as...

Students identify with various programming texts; introduce material in different orders; and emphasize different concepts. Students read an introduction to LiveTexts; complete various activities; discover and apply its Global features...

Students determine the velocity of a marble rolling down the incline. In this physics lesson plan, students identify the independent and dependent variables in the experiment. They construct and analyze a graph.
