In this lunar meteorite impact worksheet, students read about the dangers of meteorite impacts while exploring the moon. Students solve 7 problems including finding the area of the side of the moon that faces the Earth, calculating the...

Middle schoolers identify objects that are the same shape and size. They compare and contrast attributes of two-and three-dimensional objects using appropriate vocabulary. Pupils justify an extension of a geometric pattern to explain...

Students examine volumes of solids of revolution. In this volumes of solids of revolution lesson plan, students use the limit of a Riemann sum to find the volumes of disks or cylinders and a sphere.

Young scholars research about glacial ice melting on the four major spheres of the Earth. In this earth science lesson, students explain how this process relates to global warming. They create a presentation and share their findings with...

Which item is shaped like a cone? Use this multiple-choice shape recognition learning exercise to give learners access to shapes in their everyday life. Four questions ask scholars to identify which of the pictured items is shaped like a...

Before begining this worksheet you will need to clarify if learners are to write the 2-D, 3-D, or both version of each shape shown. They are to write the name of the shape they see. Some may be cones, spheres, or pyramids depending on...

Students explore the night sky and make illustrations which are shared in class the next day. Distinctions are made between the stars and the planets and views of the constellations for the season are made available. The work of early...

High schoolers model solutions with beakers of colored glass or plastic spheres. For this solutions lesson, students use beakers of colored spheres to represent pure substances. They mix the spheres to demosntrate solutions. They discuss...

Pupils conduct an ice melting investigation in which they observe and measure the melting of two ice spheres. They develop a hypothesis as to which sphere will melt the fastest, collect data every ten minutes, and graph the data using...

In this coordination compounds activity, students determine the name, coordination sphere, center of coordination, ligands, and coordination number for given compounds. This activity has 5 fill in the blank questions.

In this solid shapes reteaching worksheet, 1st graders review solids in a box at the top of the page. They see examples of a sphere, cone, cylinder, cube, and a rectangular prism. They circle the objects with the same shape as the one...

For this shape recognition worksheet, students follow the instructions as they color cylinders, spheres, cones, cubes, and prisms the appropriate colors. Students also respond to a short answer question.

Students study the sun and how it moves throughout the day.  In this tracking the sun lesson students create a model of the celestial sphere. 

Eighth graders use concrete and graphic models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, area, surface area, circumference, and volume of two- and three-dimensional shapes. This lesson is a fun way to practice measurement and circle and...

Students create a still life drawing creating volume using oil pastels. Given a specific set of directions and materials, a sphere is created using proper technique to convey volume. After the drawing is completed, students write a...

Eighth graders define a planet by the orbit around the sun, have a large enough gravitational force to hold a sphere shape and needs to clear the neighboorhood of it own orbital zone. They describe comets, meteoroids, meteor, meteorites...

Students identify real world objects as shapes they have learned. In this 3-D shapes worksheet, students identify shapes such as a cube for a box, a sphere for a globe, and a cylinder for a soup can.

In this shapes worksheet, students identify the shape of balloons. Students choose from a cube, a circle, and a sphere to identify the balloon's shape.

In this shape worksheet, students choose between 3 shapes to identify the shape of a towel. Students choose between a circle, sphere, or a rectangle.

Out of the classroom and into the streets! With Ben Franklin’s Junto society as inspiration, learners develop their ideas for improving their communities and put them into action. After analyzing meeting notes to discover what the Junto...

Creating with an app is nice. But, creating with an app and being able to print and use your creation is great! This tool provides the opportunity to hone the skills related to spacial awareness, three-dimensional thinking, creativity,...

A well-developed lab sheet guides physical science learners through an investigation of kinetic and potential energy. In small groups, collaborators discover whether or not the ramp height or mass of an object has an effect on the...

Maybe the world wasn't built in a day but kids can certainly assemble a globe in one class period using the images provided by these templates. Cut, fold, piece, glue, and voila!

Bringing together the young artists and the young organizers in your class, this lesson takes that popular topic of tessellations and gives it algebraic roots. After covering a few basic properties and definitions, learners attack the...
