Third graders list creative uses for old objects. In this recycling lesson, 3rd graders work in groups to brainstorm creative, new uses for old, everyday items. This is the first lesson in a unit on recycling.

Seventh graders experiment with white light, plane mirrors, and curved mirrors in order to demonstrate the physical principles of living systems. In this physical principles lesson plan, 7th graders take 3 days to discover what happens...

In this math vocabulary worksheet, 6th graders match twenty-three math vocabulary words from column A to the definitions in column B.

My acceleration is downward at 9.8 meters per second squared. That means I'm falling for this physics of motion instructional activity. Once motion has been covered in class, give a instructional activity that offers multiple...

Teens often display potential energy in class and kinetic in the hallways. This third presentation covers the six types of energy, each in potential and kinetic form. It also covers the Law of Conservation of Energy and Einstein's...

Third graders utilize different types of computer programs, such as Microsoft paint and Microsoft Word to study and create different types of polygons. They use PowerPoint to create a story about a shape and others that it meets during a...

Students identify attributes of different geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students view a  PowerPoint presentation on shapes and use attribute blocks to examine the corners and edges of each shape. Students work together...

In this equations worksheet, students use quantitative statements to sole for average speed. This worksheet has 4 problems to solve.

In this orange activity, students watch a video of a talking orange called The Annoying Orange, answer multiple choice questions, fill in the blanks, name kitchen items, and more. Students complete 7 activities total.

Students discover how to measure in one and two dimensional space and calculate how much space any object of a given dimension occupies. After a discussion about dimensions, students work with Zome System Creator Kits to build one and...

Students discuss the appropriateness of using a specific tool to measure and define an object. After measuring the area of their classroom and the objects in it with the appropriate tools, they create a floor plan that makes the most...

Students are introduced to a map of an Illinois farm. They determine whether the map is of the past, present, or future by looking at features on the map. They also use the map to make a three-dimensional model.

Pupils explore the three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system and discuss how it is important for structural engineers in order to be able to describe locations in space to fellow engineers. They participate in a hands-on activity in...

Students complete a water cycle project. In this Earth science lesson, students use recycled objects from around their homes to illustrate the water cycle. Students illustrate evaporation, condensation, precipitation, saturation, ground...

Density: the reason a giant pumpkin will float, but a tiny cranberry won't. Lesson begins with a demonstration of two of the same-sized cubes having different densities. Then pupils take eight cubes, each of the same size, and have to...

I would consider this an outline and not a complete lesson. It would take a little work on your part because you would need to look on the internet for examples of Ojibwe art to show your pupils. They could explore the patterns that the...

Young scholars play a game in which they name geometric shapes. In this geometric shape lesson, students ask "yes and no" questions to determine which shape one of their classmates has chosen. They ask questions that lead them to the...

Twelfth graders apply perimeter measurement to items found in newspapers and calculate the cost in terms of feet or yards. They share answers and explanations with classmates.

In this math learning exercise, students write down the equation of a plane. Then they create the equation of a line. They also define the lines that are perpendicular.

Young scholars consider perimeter and circumference. For this lesson on perimeter, students will determine relationships between perimeter and circumference using real life examples.

Students investigate geometric shapes by creating figures on a plane. In this polygon lesson plan, students complete a worksheet based on the angles in a power polygon. Students identify the different types of polygons and define their...

Students explore Fractal designs. In this geometry lesson, students observe the different polygons created in nature and relate it to math. They define polygons on planes and rotate polygons about a point.

Fifth graders explore polygons. In this math lesson, 5th graders find examples of regular polygons in the classroom and measure the sides of figures to determine if they are regular polygons.

Third graders explore the attributes of polygons. In this geometric shapes instructional activity, 3rd graders review quadrilaterals, squares, rectangles, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons in order to create hanging polygons....
