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.

Learners visit an outdoors area and mark out a square on the ground that they examine, looking for living and non-living things. They make a model or drawing of the findings from the actual square.

High schoolers practice solving algebra equations utilizing model tiles.  In this algebra lesson, students observe a clip from the movie Homeward Bound and break the action down into an algebraic equation.  High schoolers solve...

Students are introduced to the anatomy and characteristics of the North American wolf, grizzly bear and bobcat through a purchased kit. They cast plaster models of each of the animals for study and display.

Learners study volcanoes including rock fragments, ash, aerosols and gases.  In this volcano lesson students divide into groups and build models of the three major types of volcanoes. 

Students model three-dimensional objects using cubes. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate the volume and derived the amount mathematically. They use different objects to create two and three-dimensional objects.

Third graders experience reading in the content areas by reading about heredity and practicing summarizing the reading.

Students investigate interrelationships between flowing water and topography within a watershed. They interpret maps of the area, model a watershed, predict a runoff path and communicate water quality information.

Students examine the differences in the effects of the tectonic plates of New Zealand.  In this tectonic plate lesson, students define and explain the process of subduction.  Students recognize the difference in the movement of...
