Eighth graders watch a Lab Safety video and discuss particular questions related to lab safety. Lab equipment is then distributed and the students inspect the equipment and record their finding in their journal. Finally, in groups, 8th...

Ninth graders examine the proper use of photographic lab equipment addressing appropriate safety issues. They complete all projects associated with this lesson before participating in a Win, Lose, or Draw activity.

Oceanography experts use candy to construct a model of a bio-physical mooring that would test a variety of factors. Each piece of equipment to be included on the mooring is described within the write-up. As pupils gather the candies for...

Plant respiration can be a difficult concept for young biologists to grasp; with a hands-on lab, learners can collect and graph data, then calculate the metabolism rate for the plants they studied. If you do not have a respirometer,...

Physics is phun in this lesson. Young physicists use a lightbox to test how and where light is refracted and reflected as it travels through transparent materials. Angles of incidence and refraction, sine of both angles, and the...

Young scholars review kitchen management, safety, and sanitation rules, and practice applying safety and sanitation rules in kitchen lab by preparing chicken stir-fry over rice while maintaining safe working environment. Students then...

Using simple materials, an informative lesson plan demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Matter and explains how to balance chemical equations. Young chemists perform experiments, analyze reactions, and balance chemical...

The microwave is a staple in many American households, but how exactly does it work? Approach this question from a scientific and practical standpoint, and discover cooking strategies, recipes, and methodologies for the standard...

Set up stations around your science lab to introduce youngsters to different equipment. They examine a beaker, graduated cylinder, ruler, balance, and thermometer. The said worksheet is not included, but you will find a few useful tips...

Students create line graphs for given data in Microsoft Excel. Students follow step by step instructions on how to create their graph, including how to create a trend line. Students print graphs without trend lines and manually draw...

Young scholars use Excel spreadsheets to organize purchases, discounts, sales prices, and sales tax. Students follow step by step instructions and enter formulas as well as use the auto sum feature to calculate required calculations.

Learners extend linear and directional patterns, identify patterns in classroom and community environments, create original patterns incorporating the senses of sight and sound, and operate video and recording equipment.

In this computer lesson, students practice and review vocabulary necessary to work with computers. They demonstrate the meaning of computer terms and use them correctly by playing online review games and paper based games. A test with...

Pupils discover ways of obtaining oil by participating in an experiment.  In this natural resource lesson, students identify diagrams of oil derricks and pumps in order to visualize how oil is retrieved from the earth.  Pupils...

Students construct perpendicular lines. In this geometry lesson, students use a compass and straight edge to do construction. They start from a point to a line.

Students use Heron's formula to calculate the area of a triangle. In this geometry lesson, students use three different methods to solve the area of a triangle. They find and construct the incentor and angle bisector of a triangle.

Students create tessellations. In this geometry lesson, students use polygons to create different patterns by rotation. They identify the reasons for polygons to create the type of tessellation it does.

Young scholars find the median of trapezoids and other polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify important properties of trapezoids. They create trapezoids and polygons using Cabri software.

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 construct triangles. In this geometry instructional activity, students create equilateral triangles. They also construct triangles where the sides are different. They use the lab to create and move shapes around with the Cabri...

Young scholars identify different types of special right triangles. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between right triangles and isosceles triangles. they construct the triangles using geometry software and make...

Learners prove and use Ceva's Theorem to solve problems. In this geometry lesson plan, students analyze polygons for patterns and calculate the area of each shape. They relate polygons to the real world.

49Students investigate the properties of right triangles. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing angles and sides.

Pupils identify similar and congruent right triangles. In this geometry lesson, students use trigonometric ratios to identify missing sides and angles of a triangle. They differentiate similar and congruent triangles.
