There is more than one way to determine a sum. Scholars demonstrate their understanding of the decomposition of fractions similar to the decomposition of whole numbers. The short task requires pupils to determine which sums of fractions...

When life gives you mold, make penicillin. Scholars design an inquiry experiment to determine what causes rotting and mold growth. It also covers decomposers and the important role they play for other living things. 

After reviewing double-digit addition and subtraction up to and from 100, learners are introduced to addition and subtraction up to and from 10,000. A grid is used along side number decomposition to help them solve a word problem...

Understanding place value will open up a world of math comprehension for your learners. There are three parts to this worksheet, all with the objective of revealing the decomposition of numbers into tens and ones. First, scholars examine...

So many different ways to solve equations, so little time! Scholars learn how to solve equations with variables on both sides by using several different methods. They apply bar models, decomposition, and traditional algebraic methods to...

Apply volume and area formulas to find the volume of any right prism. The 26th lesson of a 29-part module examines methods for finding the volume of right prisms with varying shapes of bases. Learners use the formula V = Bh to find...

Substances that decompose with the help of living organisms do so at different rates. Scholars experiment with Winogradsky columns to determine the rate of decomposition, the oxygen and sulfide content changes, and bacteria levels. The...

Most living things go unnoticed. Change that using a fun activity about the nutrient cycle. Pupils use hula hoops to mark areas of study and then make observations about the living things they see. They first make surface observations,...

Mr. Bergman has been murdered and we need you to solve the crime! The cross-curricular unit covers 11 different types of forensic science and includes 17 activities. Scholars perform blood type analysis, blood spatter analysis,...

Students recognize the concepts of the five general types of chemical reaction: combination, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement and combustion. They practice classifying chemical equations and determine the moles in a...

Algebra II classes solve problems relating to piecewise functions, step functions, and decomposition/composition of functions. They utilize links to work with real world examples. Mr. Pleacher has added humor to the lesson by including...

Students observe and record what occurs when yeast is added to hydrogen peroxide. They indicate why a chemical reaction (decompostion) must have occurred during the experiement. Pupils explain why yeast was used. Students comprehend the...

In this Eigenvalue and Eigenvector activity, students examine the applications of matrix exponentiation. This four-page activity provides explanations and examples, as well as three problems to complete.

In this composting leftovers activity, students set up an experiment with food waste and soil, observing and recording the differences for two weeks.

In this subtraction learning exercise, students solve 9 subtraction problems involving double-digit numbers. Students put their answers below each problem.

Eighth graders study how all living things die. They are introduced tot he life cycle and the concept of an ecosystem. Students have a introductory exposure to trophic levels (producer-consumer-decomposer) in the environment.

Students experiment with different bacterias that they found and make predictions of their growth.  In this investigative lesson students use petri dishes to grow their bacteria then summarize what has happened. 

Students conduct experiments using bananas sealed in jars to observe the effects on biodegradable waste in landfills. They cover the lid with a plastic sandwich bag to create an airtight seal. Students observe how the oxygen is used...

In this Eigenvalue activity, students examine the applications of matrix exponentiation. This four-page activity contains examples, explanations and approximately three problems to complete.

In this catalase worksheet, students read about how enzymes work in cells. Then students conduct an experiment to test for catalase activity in potatoes. This worksheet has 1 graph and 6 short answer questions.

In this image processing worksheet, students complete 4 steps related to image processing. First, they work in teams of 2-3 and create a hard copy report and documented m-files. Then, students try compression at various quality levels...

Warm-up pupils' fraction muscles with a four-question quiz, then delve into a learning game designed to reinforce the concept of simplifying fractions. Based on the "I do, We do, You do" method of teaching, the lesson directly...

Support math instruction at home with a helpful reference sheet designed for parents. Three pages cover the subject of addition with written details and labeled pictures. 

Encourage family participation at home with a reference tool designed to support learners' practice of simplifying fractions. Two pages offer detailed descriptions and labeled examples.
