Pupils visit www.explorelearning.com/ Website to solve problems in area and perimeter. Next, they locate the vertex of a quadratic equation. In groups, students construct application problems and exchange them with other groups to solve.

Pupils use FoilSim to complete the activity and investigate the factors that affect lift and how wing area and lift are related.

Fourth graders read the fiction selection, Dolphins at Daybreak, and then the corresponding non-fiction books about dolphins and sharks. They use a specific research model to find information about dolphins and sharks from books and...

First graders create spider models to discover its anatomy. They use construction paper and sequins to make their spiders and use pictures as examples for their models. As an alternative, 1st graders make posters of the spider's parts....

In this model letter worksheet, students review the best format to contact their musical career mentors as they follow the format provided.

Students work together to create a watershed model. They discover the flow of surface water on different topography. They examine how materials originate from miles away and end up in a different wetland.

Students design shoes that can make them walk on eggs without breaking them. In this science lesson, students calculate pressure using force and area. They present their shoes model in class.

Learners investigate energy by researching how oil reservoirs work. In this fossil fuels lesson, students conduct an experiment using a half full bottle of water, corn oil and oxygen, recording their data as the elements are mixed...

Students examine the concept of stakeholders. They identify the objectives of each stakeholder group. They discuss the importance of dealing with stakeholder's conflicts with the business.

Middle schoolers explore what is present below the surface in order to drill into the ground and record the type of material that the drill brings to the surface. They discuss the benefits and drawbacks of distance communications. ...

Which modification is the best? Using the scientific method, pairs determine the effects of each control surface on the distance of a glider's flight. The activity, section 16 in a 22-part unit on aviation, allows pupils to gain a better...

Take foldables to all new heights. Pupils build and fly different types of paper airplanes in the 14th portion of a 22-part unit on aviation. Groups collect data on distance and flight time for each plane and compare the data from the...

Let's go fly a kite ... oops, a paper airplane! The 13th segment in an aviation unit of 22 relates the parts of an airplane to paper airplanes. Pupils learn the functions of the control surfaces of a plane to really make their knowledge...

In this 2-D shapes lesson, kindergarteners review plane shapes attributes. They engage in a shape hunt in the classroom and create art using plane shapes. A good, hands-on lesson!

Build on knowledge of fractions to build fractions. Pupils use interactives that require building fraction models for given fractions or mixed numbers and identifying fractions or mixed numbers for given models. A lab area lets users...

Help pupils to determine whether using square roots is the method of choice when solving quadratic equations by presenting a lesson that begins with a dropped object example and asks for a solution. This introduction to solving by...

How can you help your class improve their writing? Start by showing a student example on the overhead. Read through the paragraph in a think-aloud format, commenting on areas that need improvement. Then, as a class, work together to make...
