Fourth graders practice estimating temperatures. They practice in Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Fifth graders use the Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers to compare temperature readings. They use the Internet to find the temperatures of selected cities. After data is collected for five days, 5th graders graph the temperatures.

Learners use estimation and measurement skills to make predictions and solve problems involving length.

Students increase their knowledge of scientific processes in chemistry. They compare and analyze 3 sets of data, they have gathered, for accuracy and precision.

Students apply measurement techniques to create a flying object. They measure, draw, and cut out a flying wheel out of a six inch card.

Students demonstrate problem solving skills. Students complete word problems requiring unit conversions. They convert both metric and standard units. Students must determine necessary information to solve problems.

Ninth graders explore the concepts of motion, velocity and acceleration through graphing their own movement using LoggerPro. They become more familiar with the computer technology. Students explore graphing in real time and graph on...

Third graders use a number of problem solving strategies in this unit of lessons. They determine how to draw and model three-dimensional objects, use co-ordinate systems, determine probability of events, and identify paths of simple...

Students work together in groups to complete an astronomy project. In the classroom, they find real objects to represent various objects in the solar system. After going outside, they practice using a distance scale and use their...

Young scholars work together to convert scale dimensions to determine the true size of the International Space Station. They create a full-scale outline of the station. They share their layout with the class.

Young scholars explore the concept of measurement.  In this measurement instructional activity, students collect data about themselves such as height, finger length, neck circumference, foot length, and other body...

Fifth graders describe patterns as relations and functions. In this patterning lesson plan, 5th graders analyze and continue patterns. Students understand how patterns relate to relations and functions.

Students measure their bodies. In this math lesson, students record their height and weight. Students measure themselves in six months and observe any changes.

Students use maps and mathematics to determine the appropriate panther population in a given area. For this Florida ecology lesson, students research the area requirements of male and female panther and use a map to help calculate how...

Students explore math functions by solving word problems in class. In this multiplication instructional activity, students utilize colored cubes and base blocks to visualize multiplication problems. Students identify the multiplication...

Students, in small groups, research Eratosthenes and his calculations of the Earth's radius. They write a summary of the person, the experiments and his calculations to determine how accurate Eratosthenes was in his estimations of the...
