Students examine the effects of hearing loss. In this lesson on physical disabilities, students survey five older adults on hearing impairments. Students pool their data and compare their results with the results from other studies about...

Students explore the senses. In this Applied Science instructional activity, students investigate the items in "feely" boxes with their hands, both touching the items and shaking the boxes to hear the sound the items make. Students also...

Students explore how the sense of hearing helps us learn from each other through communication. Sound can produce patterns.

In this creative science activity from Scientific American, students learn more about hearing with two ears and make a hands-on exploration of how sound is located. Excellent web link resources are also provided.

How sustainable are cell phones? Throughout the unit, learners explore the issues around cell phones concerning sustainability. Class members take a graphical look at the number of cell phones across the world using a box-and-whisker...

In this music activity, 11th graders incorporate fractions into their music scales and counting scales. They listen to the music being played and relate it to sine waves reviewing the trig function. There are 11 questions involving sine...

Ever hear 4+4 is 8, 8+8 is 16? Well, that is called building automaticity and its a must have skill that follows kids throughout their entire career. This set of 20 worksheets each contains a set of addition problems that are intended to...

Use tables, graphs, and substitution to solve systems of linear equations. An envelope of sample problems is passed around the classroom, and each learner has the opportunity to solve the system in the envelope. This is a great way to...

Learners hear wedding bells in this problem set, as they help a fictional bride plan the centerpieces for her wedding reception. Algebra is married to geometry as volume, aesthetics, and budgeting all come into play. Learners are...

It's always nice to hear from friends. Your budding mathematicians read letters from pen pals and convert customary measurements into metric units and vice versa. They also write letters to an imaginary pen pal using metric units.

"Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale ..." Gilligan's Island is a classic that spans generations and offers a problem-solving opportunity for scholars. Take a project-based learning approach to examine the population of the island....

Can you hear me from there? Pupils determine the place to build a cell tower on a hill. The class uses constraints and creates a scale drawing on a coordinate system to calculate the exact location of the base of the cell tower.

At what point does data switch from being an outlier to part of the average? Scholars view conflicting news articles about protesters. They must decide which, if any, side is using the correct sample to draw their conclusions. It's a...

Are you tired of hearing "When am I ever going to need to use this in real life?" Cooking word problems, in addition to other math work, answer the question easily. Grade 6 Claim 1 Item Slide Shows offers eight problems reinforcing...

At some point the rate of change must be the average. Pupils first see the definition of the Mean Value Theorem and hear an explanation of it in simple terms. The helpful video then compares the Mean Value Theorem with the Intermediate...

Do not let the distributive property foil you. Individuals hear about the FOIL method to multiply two binomials and how it is nothing more than the distributive property. Pupils learn two methods of multiplying any two polynomials. They...

Take the next step in separating. Pupils pick up from the previous lesson to now find the particular solution of a differential equation at a given point. Scholars watch three examples of finding the particular solution and hear the...

Experimentally, come up with a study design. Learners hear about different types of study designs, observational studies, and experiments. They identify the subjects, response variable, treatment, and whether there was a cause and...

What was the property again? Tired of hearing this from your pupils? Use this table to organize properties studied and as a reference tool for individuals. Learners apply each property in the third column of the table to ensure their...

A very simple activity, this handout includes a model conversation and 12 different time expressions such as "It's five after (two)" and "It's quarter to (three)". After studying the model conversation and the time expressions provided,...
