Physics is like music—practice makes perfect! Challenge your class using an interactive that builds harmonic skills. The engaging lesson from a playlist exploring sounds and waves revolves around wave behavior in closed-end air columns....

Sixth graders calculate perimeter of rectangles with different dimensions.  In this perimeter lesson, 6th graders define length, width and perimeter.  Students complete a perimeter activity using a web tool to change the...

Students analyze cantilever stress using COSMOSXpress. In this engineering lesson plan, students calculate the beam's maximum deflection. They investigate the effect changing beam dimensions.

Seventh graders examine fossils.  In this vertebrate fossils instructional activity students view a demonstration.

Students engage in a lesson that supports the fact that Asian people are part of the educational culture in schools. The lesson includes background information for the teacher. With the completion of the unit students develop a personal...

High schoolers explore the problem of maximizing the volume of a box by making a physical model and observing how changes in the orientation of the paper changes the volume. They use the symbolic capacity of their calculators and...

Scholars work through three different activities applying their knowledge of total internal reflection (TIR). First, they simply identify which diagrams create TIR and which don't. Next, they match different types of boundary behaviors...

The dress color debate of 2015 taught the importance of understanding how we see light. Scholars view a shirt under two different colored lights and then must predict what color the shirt will appear under a third light. They apply color...

Assist your pupils with literary analysis by discussing and exploring theme. This plan, the twelfth in a series of fourteen, builds in some time to explore theme as a class. Learners also blog about the main event in their stories and...

Young scholars examine seven lifestyle factors. In this personal health lesson plan, students will examine healthy lifestyles and create a personal health, wealth, and wisdom calendar.

Students examine the constant changing of the Earth's atmosphere. After labeling the layers of the Earth, they identify various processes inside the Earth that can cause gases to be emitted. Using the internet, they research how the...

Students examine how U.S. population patterns have changed over time. Using the growth of major league baseball to illustrate these patterns, students create maps, examine regional migration patterns, and make predictions for the future.

High schoolers create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.
