Curated OER
Time & Itineraries Two
Students explore time management by participating in itinerary activities. For this time telling lesson, students identify how to read a clock, how to communicate the time to others and how to plan for events in the day. Students...
Curated OER
Uncorking Work Problems
Explore the concept of work with your class, using bottles, water, and corks to calculate work, while using the formula work = rate x time. Learners conduct multiple experiments, timing how long it takes for water to drain out of the...
Curated OER
TI Math, Games
Students solve problems using technology. In this algebra lesson, students apply flow diagrams and computer codes to solve problems. They use the TI to view the graphs.
NASA
Lava Layering
Take the old baking soda and vinegar volcano to the next level by using it to study repeated lava flows over time, examine geologic features on Earth and Mars, and speculate about some of the formations on Mars.
Curated OER
Get My Point!
Here is one of the better lessons I've come across on how to teach fractions and decimals. This instructional activity does a great job of showing how these two mathematical representations of numbers are interrelated. Some excellent...
Curated OER
Log Hotel
Students identify how the different plants and animals work together to cause the changes in the log. Students discuss the sequence of events in the life of the tree and log. Students plant a seed to take home and care for. Students...
Curated OER
CSI Clamshell Investigation
Students explore predator/prey relationships. They research information on moon snails and claims. Students draw conclusions from the data collected. They use math and graphing to determine if there is a relationship to the clam's size...
Curated OER
Understanding Place Value
Fifth graders study place value. After forming teams, they play a game called, "Who Can Line Up the Number." Students observe numbers in expanded form and place representative digits in the correct order.
Curated OER
Oscillations
Students construct and compare the actions of various pendulums. In this pendulum motion lesson, students build and test different types of pendulums. They conduct experiments with the length of the swing arm and apply mathematical...
Curated OER
CSI Clamshell Investigation
Pupils explore and explain how moon snails eat and where the holes in clamshells come from and then draw conclusion from the data collected. They incorporate math and graphing skills to determine if there is a relationship to a clam's...
Curated OER
Holey Clamshells
Pupils analyze data to make hypotheses and conclusions regarding the predator/prey relationship between moon snail and surf clams.
Curated OER
Means of Growth
High schoolers collect and graph data. For this statistics lesson, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.
Curated OER
The Gulf Oil Spill in the Classroom
Young scholars explore the concept of environmental stewardship. In this interdisciplinary lesson plan, students investigate the media response to the Gulf oil spill as they examine live streaming video, interpret data, and share their...
Curated OER
Designing Models to Simulate Actual Events Using a Table of Random Digits
Students design models to simulate actual events using a tale of random digits. They estimate the likelihood of a particular outcome using results of simulation. Students investigate the uses of statistical methods to analyze data.
Curated OER
Maple Syrup Production
Students make their own maple sugar and learn about how it is made on a grander scale. In this maple sugar lesson, students make their own maple sugar and learn about evaporation and what labor is put into making it.
Curated OER
Maple Syrup Production
Students examine the steps of maple sugar production and the labor and effort involved from the tree to the final product. They participate in a taste test game, and if they have access to maple trees, make their own syrup and sugar.
Curated OER
Fruitvale Extension
Students determine sources and extent of ground water contaminate, apply mathematics to model in real world simulation, and use technology to present results.
