Students work with decimals. In this decimal lesson, students participate in a hands-on group activity that enable them to review to how to appropriately add and subtract decimals.

Fifth graders practice using money in everyday situations. They use their addition and subtraction skills as they work in cooperative groups to solve problems involving decimals.

Students explore the concept of prime factorization. In this prime factorization lesson, students participate in an activity where they find the prime factorization and greatest common factor of a number derived from their name. Students...

First graders use rhythm instruments to explore dynamic fluctuations in music. They experiment with clapping, body movement, recorded music and pitch instruments to explore the concept of tempo.

Ninth graders find the height of every day objects using techniques learned through postulates that allow triangles in a problem to be similar. They calculate the length of a missing side and solve proportions.

Students calculate the costs for lodging and meals for a virtual field trip. They calculate the number of nights lodging needed for road and city travel and the number of meals needed, the costs for each, and input the data using...

Students create a page in a classroom field guide to snakes. They each choose a different snake species to study in depth using the internet and books. The page contains information on habitat and adaptations of the snake as well as a...

High schoolers perform dilation on various geometric shapes. They also discuss pros and cons of dilation and employ the Frayer Model to study the vocabulary words in this section.

Students investigate and determine the origins of the ancient Anasazi who inhabited present-day Utah and the Four-Corners-Region.

Fourth graders examine the Triangle Inequality Theorem by investigating possible lengths of the sides of a triangle.

Ninth graders complete a unit of lessons on ecosystems, organism interactions, and energy flow. They create a key for known species of fish, diagram the movement of energy through an ecosystem, and create and present food chains and food...

Young scholars engage in an inquiry-based study of the ecology of termites. Through hands-on investigations, they explore the life cycle of termites, the termite's role in the food web, and the unique social structure of termite colonies.

Students investigate the concept of sound and vibration. They use a tuning fork to make an observation. Students then propose the ideas of different experimental designs to test the concept. The ideas are constructed and then tested.

Young scholars investigate the concepts of conservation of mass and simple chemical reactions. Students complete lab experiments and record all observations as well as conduct experiments on their own to determine which reactions...

Students explore energy conversions by demonstrating the conversion of electrical energy into light, heat, sound, and magnetic energy. Students create a simple device that converts electrical energy from batteries to heat, light, sound...

Students use problem solving skills to create various models of tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes. They classify the cubes into various groupings and identify them as mirror images, regular arrangements, and irregular arrangements....

Students complete a survey and enter the responses in a spreadsheet. The spread sheet is used to create a bar graph. Students complete spreadsheets listing types of hazards in their community.

Eighth graders complete seven work stations that highlight math activities while they focus on the rules for Internet use and classroom rules for working in cooperative groups. After completing the activities, they complete a self-...

Sixth graders investigate and determine the origins of the ancient Anasazi who inhabited present-day Utah and the Four-Corners-Region, after receiving direct instruction and carrying out activities in cooperative group settings. They...

Learners design an experiment to discriminate between chemical diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion and active transport through a membrane. Be specific about predictions and interpretations!

Young scholars establish a strategy for adding simple fractions. They convert improper fractions to mixed numbers and interpret drawings and storyboards.

For this shapes worksheet, students are asked to "colour" all of the triangles they find on the page. There are 10 shapes on the page and 4 are triangles. The second page contains suggestions for teachers on activities with 2-D shapes.

First graders identify jobs in the environment. In this social justice lesson, 1st graders describe rules to protect the environment and the roles specific jobs play. Students construct environmental rules for an imaginary town.
