Young scholars analyze monthly sea surface temperature data from the Pacific Ocean to determine if the period is an El Nino or a normal year. They recognize signs to see if there are any patterns that signal either occurrence. Satellite...

The history of aerodynamics is rich with experimentation and international collaboration. Author Joyce Bryant relays this dynamic past and provides math word problems using the formula of lift, the force that makes airplanes fly. She...

Young scholars consider how topography affects weather and human activity. Students simulate a mountain range and observe surrounding wind patterns.

In this TAKS worksheet, 4th graders answer three multiple choice questions that pertain to objectives covered on the Texas state test. Students answer quesetions regarding geometric figures andplotting on a numberline.

Demonstrate the lunar cycle to youngsters using flashlights and lollipops. The procedure is somewhat vague, so it will need to be modeled for them before turning them loose to try it. The questions that follow the activity are not...

Students study relationships between angles, side lengths, perimeters, areas and volumes of similar objects. In this lesson students also create and critique inductive and deductive arguments concerning congruency, similarity and the...

Students identify and classify solid geometric figures. In this geometry lesson plan, students bring in objects that look like solid shapes and identify their attributes. Students identify the number of surfaces and faces on each figure.

In this pulley worksheet, students calculate the acceleration, tension, and speed for given parts of a problem with an object and pulley system. This worksheet has 3 problems to solve.

In this math analogies worksheet, students respond to 4 questions that require them to analyze the relationships between math words. Students then write their own math analogies.

Students identify types of arcs and angles in a circle, find the measure of arcs and angles, and solve real world problems involving lengths of segments in circles, lengths, and areas.

In this ESL 2D and 3D shapes worksheet, learners assemble the booklet and read different types of shapes. Students then respond to 5 fill in the blank questions, 1 short answer question, and 5 matching questions regarding the information...

For this online interactive social studies worksheet, learners answer 14 matching questions regarding the Imperial Republic. Students may submit their answers to be scored.

Students tell how maps differ from globes, state some characteristics of 3 different types of map projections, and realize that distortions are inherent in various systems of map projections.

Students gain knowledge of how one country's actions affect others as well. Groups are given role cards such as Great Britian, Germany, and other countries to discuss policies they have in place and how they affect other countries.

Young scholars identify cardinal and intermediate directions, recognize that models changes due to new or improved observations and technology, identify the major characteristics of the planets including their positions in the solar...

Students explore circles.  In this geometry lesson, students explore the relationship between the circumference of a circle, the distance a ball travels, and the number of rotations the ball must make in order to travel a certain...

Students compare and contrast similar two and three dimensional shapes within cooperative groups.

Second graders culminate their study of shapes by describing the shapes using the proper mathematical descriptors.

Young scholars determine the differences between the crystallization of igneous and metamorphic rocks. They examine both liquid state and solid state crystallization.

Students predict and test the porosity of sediments with particles of different sizes. They name two objects that they think has pores. Students define the term porosity and pores. They comprehend that an aquifer is the porous rock...

In this density of the human body activity, students measure several parts of the body to calculate the body volume. Students convert the body volume to body mass and body density.

In this geometry worksheet, students learn about 3-D objects and how to describe them. They then answer 10 questions using the information they learned. The answers are on the last page.

In this volume and surface area worksheet, students use their calculators to find the volume or surface area of a pictured 3-dimensional figure.

For this solid figure worksheet, learners write 3 possible combinations of views and a solid figure for a set of 3 plane figures. Students are given choices in a box at the top of the page. Learners then draw and label top views of a...
