Students classify angles. For this angles lesson, students explore the characteristics of angles, triangles, quadrilaterals and circles. They identify polygons and sing a classifying angles song. Students participate in a manipulative...

Students practice using measuring techniques by examining bubbles.  In this geometry lesson, students utilize mathematic formulas to discover the circumference and diameter of soap bubbles they blow.  Students practice creating...

Students design a wheel that can go down the ramp with the smallest moment of inertia. In this technology instructional activity, students construct their model using a computer program. They calculate the moment of inertia of their...

Students use construction paper to model the layers of the earth.

Learners create an atomic model using a computer program. In this technology lesson plan, students identify the difference between radius and diameter. They create circular patterns and spheres based on certain specifications.

Students create a piston/cylinder assembly using SolidWorks. In this technology lesson, students calculate volume, pressure and Boyle's law constant. They simulate equalizing air pressure by moving the piston out of the cylinder.

Why is breathing so difficult for asthma sufferers? To find out, learners build their own lung models in the investigation (from a British website, hence the term ventilation system instead of respiratory system). Using...

Fourth graders investigate the bison's struggle for survival. They discuss the importance of bison while participating in an role playing activity showing how important the food supply and surroundings are to their survival.

Middle schoolers explore major components of gross domestic product (GDP) and how it is determined; students create and compare GDP pie charts for the countries of Pepperonia and Anchovia.

Third graders study the features of different moons orbiting the planets. In this astronomy lesson, 3rd graders explore the different phases of the moon using an interactive online website. They compare and contrast the features of the...

Students discover the relationship between the sun and Earth.  In this weather lesson, students examine the effect of the sun on the Earth's seasons.  Students complete a weather activity using props to simulate the sun and...

Fourth graders participate in a series of activities designed to simulate mining for gold. They pan for "gold" and create a safe tunnel.

Students investigate the human circulatory system by experimenting with hoses.  In this human body instructional activity, students create a system of hoses simulating the circulatory system which they utilize to pass objects...

Students kick a drop punt. In this physical education skills lesson, students participate in a series of skill activities fostering eye-foot coordination. Students practice kicking a drop punt to the coach, a partner and a target.

Students explore the difference between stars and planets and take on the role of these objects to simulate the relative motions of Mars and the Earth around the Sun.

Fourth graders discover what trees need to live and grow in the environment. They realize that trees sometimes interact or compete with other organisms as well as each other. They identify the physical characteristics of Utah's...

Students create a simulated lung to explore its functions as part of the respiratory system.
