Sixth graders measure and investigate the densities of several objects. They, in teams, determine the mass and volume of each of the 5 objects and record the measurements in the data table.

Students identify different color models and the application of the color theory. They create different visualizations that compare color models.

Students work with measurements of length, area, and volume capacity of a liquid. They watch a teacher demonstration of both English and metric units before they estimate and take actual measurements of assigned items a three different...

Students examine and paint still life paintings. In this still life painting lesson, students look at pictures of European still life paintings and determine the characteristics when using an opaque medium. They use an opaque medium to...

Second graders explore how to make healthy eating choices. There are goals included for students to meet by the end of fifth grade.

Seventh graders explore surface area. They study the difference between two and three-dimensional objects. The teacher leads a discussion about finding the surface area of different size cubes. In pairs, 7th graders use graph paper to...

Students recognize and identify shapes in their environment. They investigate why objects can be composed of several different shapes. They follow a pattern to recreate designs using various shapes.

Students compare and contrast handmade and machine-made products in a study about the evolution of production processes in American history. For this production history lesson, students explore a flowerpot in depth. Students make their...

Learners construct polygons. They identify attributes of three-dimensional shapes. Students name common three-dimensional shapes. They draw three-dimensional shapes, and sort three-dimensional shapes. Learners use K'NEX materials sets to...

Students sort a bag of M&M candies according to color using a sorting mat. They count M&M candies. They compare the number to their prediction then students create tally charts.

Second graders review the process of plant reproduction and the role of seeds in that process. The students dissect a seed, analyze their finds, collect and record data, and make predictions about seed germination and plant growth.

Fifth graders identify and write similes. They define simile and discuss different examples, and with the help of a thesaurus, write original similes that compare the colors of crayons to objects or feelings. Students copy their rough...

Students test different sized marbles and how fast they can go. For this energy lesson plan, students test different sized marbles going down an incline. They predict which would have the most potential and kinetic energy. After the...

Students discuss and compare what type of fluids will fill up a beaker first. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate between pouring glue and water and which will fill the beaker first. They discuss the viscosity of each fluid.

Students name the five senses, compare learning with and without the senses.

Pupils describe their current mood in several complete sentences. They compare their moods with moods set by authors through the tone of their writing. Students read a teacher prepared handout about mood/tone of writing. They write their...

Students explore the concept of models. In this model instructional activity, students examine 3-dimensional models of various objects and body parts to better understand the natural world.

Seventh graders practice using pattern blocks. In this pre-algebra lesson, 7th graders complete tasks that require them to compare fractions, make fractions equivalent, and add fractions.

Students use technology to graph and compare angles. In this geometry lesson, students range of motion in the environment. They identify the missing parts of polygons using similarity and congruence.

Students investigate special segments in triangles. In this geometry lesson, students graph, compare, estimate and predict findings based on their data. They differentiate between similarity and congruence of triangles.

Students study patterns. In this symmetry in nature activity, students examine objects to determine what type of symmetry they have. They work in small groups to rotate through stations that have objects for them to study.

Students identify and compare Herakles's heroic qualities to those depicted in students' portraits of their favorite heroes.

Second graders explore concept of fractions.

Students perform an experiment where a string is tied across the room. A straw is threaded onto the string, and a balloon attached to the straw. Students determine the speed of the balloon as it moves across the string. They repeat the...
