Math scholars identify four different rock types in that strata and use this identification and data to construct a two dimensional geologic cross-section. They use data tables to construct a three-dimensional geologic cross-section.

Fourth graders make models of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks out of different types of candy and cookies.

Students use their five senses to experience different types of rocks. In groups, they compare and contrast the information they collected. They observe rocks in their local community and describe their uses to the class.

Applying this metric worksheet, mathematicians will provide standard metric units of measurement, identify the largest and best way to measure items using the metric system, and convert units using King Henry.

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Explore vocabulary related to three-dimensional shapes. An instructional website describes the characteristics of different geometric solids. Learners can use an interactive component to view nets, faces, vertices, and edges of common...

In this setting up equations worksheet, students solve 4 different problems that include setting up the equations in each problem. They write out an equation or set up an equations that describe each given situation. Then, students state...

Seventh graders explore random sampling by estimating the number of e's on the newspaper. They explain the possible error sources for this type of sampling, and compare the accuracy of sampling a small and large population. This is a...

Students investigate the correct mix of material types for compost. For this composting lesson, students explore the correct amounts of different types of materials to create a compost heap. Students then create a compost heap.

Ninth graders operate a model to observe the type of motion that occurs at a fault during an earthquake. They explore the effects of several variables. Students measure movement, calculate averages and plot and graph information.

Learners discuss the differences between the three types of rocks and how radon can escape from the rocks themselves. They analyze other sources of radon in the environment. They work together to complete an activity and worksheet.

Students, after making quantitative and qualitative observations of their rocks, construct a Venn diagram or dichotomous key to classify their rocks.

Students identify the repeated sequences of a pattern. In this geometry lesson, students identify fractals in patterns and nature. They construct a fractal tree and make conjectures.

Students review fundamental concepts of time such as A.M. and P.M. and learn about elapsed time. In this Unit of Time lesson, students review the basics of how to tell time and then are given examples to figure out how much time has...

In this simplifying ratios worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 24 various types of problems. First, they complete each ratio and reduce when necessary. Then, students find the length and width of each rectangle described. They...

Students investigate soil temperatures. In this graphing and earth science lesson, students insert temperature probes into different types of soil at varying depths. Students complete a data chart and construct a related graph...

For this stem-and-leaf plots worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 9 various types of problems. First, they determine the mean, median, and mode of the stem-and-leaf plot shown. Then, students summarize the similarities and...

Groundwater is an essential natural resource, not to mention a fascinating topic to study. Here is a series of twelve amazing lessons on the water source and how we use it in our daily lives. Concepts require higher math and physics...

Students demonstrate how the results of a poll or other scientific study can be biased by selecting special types of people to respond or by asking only certain questions.

Students gather data about the 1906 and 1989 earthquakes, make comparisons between the two, and determine the factors that influence the amount of shaking that occurs in an area due to an earthquake. They identify that the distance is...

First graders use a Judy Clock to learn time to the hour and half hour. They practice by ringing a bell and telling the time. They complete an activity sheet after practicing for several days.

Learners investigate the relationship between fractals and sequences. In this geometry lesson, students build a fractal tree. They investigate different career fields where fractals are used in the real world.

Students access how to collect, classify and display data involving statistics. The concepts of quantitative, discrete and continuous data is covered in depth within the lesson. They practice with a scenario of James filled with...

In this algebra instructional activity, learners rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols. They solve for the amount of population or money over a period of time. There are 10 questions with an answer key.
