Students use graphs to calibrate an RCX car. They must then program the car to traverse a maze using their calibrations

Students predict the-outcome of an event. In this algebra lesson plan, students compare and contrast the probability of an event occurring. They calculate the odds of a simple event and make estimation.

Seventh graders discuss the main purposes of media. Using various advertisements, they identify the method used by the advertisers in each example. They use these methods to create and sell their own product to the class. They use the...

Students work in small groups with a small set of 8 nuts and 5 bolts to assemble into combinations of 1 nut: 1 bolt, and 2 nuts: 1 bolt. They explore the outcome and discuss. Then a student mixes two clear, colorless solutions together...

Students work collaboratively to design and construct a roof out of Legos for a house that was built in a previous lesson plan. The roof must be structurally sound and pass certain criteria determined by the teacher.

Learners solve problems using equations and properties of integers. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems using ratio and proportion and graph their answers on a coordinate plane. They solve word problems using geometry.

High schoolers use hypsometers to measure tall objects.

Students view a video that presents the biogeochemical cycle of nitrogen. They compare types of soils and consider how different fertilizers affect soil composition.

Student's measure sporadic meteor activity.  For this physics and astronomy lesson, 11th graders construct a dipole antennae, and build, test and wire a full wave diode rectifier between the dipole antenna and the laptop. 

Young scholars construct a model airplane, measure distance, and calculate velocity.  For this creative lesson students work in groups to build a model and use it to calculate distances and velocity.

Pupils investigate triangles and their relationship to each other. In this geometry lesson, students solve right triangles using the properties of the Pythagorean Theorem. They differentiate between right, acute, straight and oblique...

Students calculate the area and perimeter of a basketball court. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similarity and congruence of geometric objects. They test conjectures and use it to solve problems.

Seventh graders explore the concept of the slope of a line. They see how to determine the direction of the line. Also students are introduced to the slope intercept algebraic expression in conjunction with the rise/run.

Students differentiate between expenditure and income. In this algebra lesson, students create a spreadsheet labeling the date, item and amount as they track their expenses. They format the cells of the spreadsheet to do all the...

Students study speed and learn how to calculate it.  In this investigative lesson students participate in an activity that shows them how to calculate speed then they fill out a worksheet.

In this math lesson plan, students choose a topic involving math that interests them to investigate or research. Students make a plan detailing how they will investigate their topic; such as, keeping track of plant heights over time,...

Fourth graders build an explorer vehicle which they program through an obstacle course to enter the tomb or temple to discover artifacts.

Students discover enzyme to substrate specificity. The experiment uses samples of glucose and lactose in combination with the enzyme lactase. Students observe the reaction between the lactose and the lactase; the lack of a reaction...

Students measure a set of Russian dolls using the metric system. In this measurement lesson plan, students identify certain relationships between sets of measurements by measuring a set of Russian dolls and presenting their findings to...

Young scholars use Olympic athlete statistics to make algebraic calculations. In this algebraic equation lesson, students use algebra to calculate athlete speed and calories burned.

Students explore circumference and diameter. In this math lesson, students apply their knowledge of circumference and diameter to solve mathematical riddles. Students apply this knowledge to find circumference and diameter of various...

Learners perform unit conversion. In this algebra lesson, students calculate the distance and speed of a solar car. They graph their result as speed versus distance and analyze it.

Students listen to Chapter I, Chapter II, Chapter III, and Chapter IV of "The Forgetful Pony". They observe different stages of development of mealworms. The student sequences pictures to show the life cycle and draws the developmental...

Students read the novel Stone Fox by John Reynold Gardiner. Using Lego RCX units, students build and program sleds to re-enact the "home stretch" of the National Dog Sled Race.
