Students play a game to learn angle measures in radians. In this precalculus/trigonometry activity, students play a game similar to a cake walk. When the music stops, which ever student is selected, names his/her coordinates and place on...

Students complete a counter top chemistry experiment on the chromatography of foods. The experiment is based upon the relative attraction of the components of the mixture for the mobile phase (water) and the stationery phase (paper).

In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders determine the measures of various angle pairs:  supplementary, complementary, and vertical angles.  The two page instructional activity contains a combination of twelve...

In this radius, diameter and circumference worksheet, learners calculate diameter and estimate circumference of 2 given circles. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Tenth graders investigate the circumference and diameter of a circle. In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders relate circumference to diameter. They create a scatter plot to estimate the value of pi.

In this theorems and formulas for circles worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 13 different types of problems. First, they create a graphic organizer for all the given formulas for circles. Then, students use the labeled pictures...

In this circle worksheet, students solve 8 problems: finding percentage increase, finding differences in area and perimeter, finding circumference and area.

Life science learners discover the range of peripheral vision. They compare the angles at which they can detect motion, colors, and detailed shapes. 

The third lesson in the "Conflict Resolution Module" teaches participants strategies to reduce or control their anger. Class members first list situations that make them angry and then brainstorm a list of techniques that can lessen or...

NASA presents a mini-unit on distances in our solar system. It incorporates scientific concepts of gravity, mass, density, and payload while your aspiring astronauts also employ mathematics skills. They calculate speed, they determine...

Crafting is fun, it increases eye-hand coordination, and it is a great way to accent any lesson. Celebrate Earth Day by creating scrap fabric flowers for a pop-stick flower garden. Children of all ages will love gluing, cutting, and...

Equip young campers with important survival knowledge with a set of engaging lessons. Teammates work together to complete three outdoor activities, which include building a shelter, starting a campfire, and finding directions in the...

For this consumer math worksheet, students count the number of butterflies in a group and draw a line to match the same number of flowers in a group. Students match four groups so that there is the same number of butterflies as flowers...

Students investigate data about America's trash production. In this environmental instructional activity, students use statistics about what we throw away to create an art pie chart project called a "trash pizza."

In the first of two similar worksheets, geometers compute two to four unknown angles when given an alternate, supplementary, or complementary value. There are six multliple-step problems to solve. This is a nice challenge for your...

In the second of two similar worksheets, anglers compute missing angles when given an alternate, supplementary, or complementary value. There are six problems to solve, but each of them requires two to four solutions. This is a nice...

Students investigate the best way to calculate the measurements of an area. In this geometry lesson, students relate a large circle to a cylinder and its measurements. They use PVC pipes to gain hands on experience as they calculate the...

Second graders investigate how to slow the spread of germs from coughing and sneezing. In this illness prevention lesson, 2nd graders talk about why people cough and sneeze before telling about ways to prevent the spread of germs. They...

For this area worksheet, students read story problems, draw diagrams, and find the area of described polygons. This eight page worksheet contains six problems. Answers are provided.

Students create a spreadsheet to record information about circular objects. They measure and record information from a variety of objects. Students calculate the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of each object. They find the...

Students examine the layers of the earth and the basic composition and thickness of each. Using construction paper, each student models the layers of the earth.

Students identify the relationship between chords, secants and circles. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the length of the chords. They sketch the secant lines on a circle.
