Students use the macro mode of the OLYMPUS FE-140 CAMERAS as virtual microscopes to explore different habitats, observe plants, soil, and insects and other creatures. They download those images on electronic files and build web pages....

Students explore one-to-one correspondence. Through activities, students examine rhythm and patterns. From the patterns discovered, students create a visual representation of the pattern with blocks.

Second graders engage in a lesson plan which focuses on adding two-digit numbers and the regrouping process. They identify when the regrouping process is necessary and make appropriate "trades" to complete an addition problem.

Young scholars calculate the six trigonometric identities. In this algebra lesson, students verify other identities using the basic trigonometric identities of sine, cosine and tangent. They complete a worksheet with hints and then are...

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...

Sixth graders practice Least Common Multiple in fractions. In this fraction activity, 6th graders look at two different fractions and find a common denominator. They sing a song to memorize mean, median, and mode. 

Students plan and make the M&M cookies, tally M&M's by color while eating cookie, and completing worksheet using math skills.
