Students increase their reading fluency through the use of various strategies. After reviewing chunking, decoding, and rereading, students complete an initial read of a novel text. Working in small groups, they read complete a timed...

Students solve systems of equations.  For this solving systems of equations lesson, students look for the intersection of the two lines in the system.  Students solve systems that have one solution, no solution, and infinite...

Fourth graders plan a picnic using weather data. Using accumulated weather data from various sources, they create a graph of the weather conditions in their region for a given period of time. Students interpret this data to predict the...

Students discuss how investigators solve a hit and run accident. In this physical science lesson, students recreate an accident scene using CEENBot. They collect data from the experiment and formulate conclusion.

Students explore the concept of quadrilaterals. In this quadrilaterals lesson, students use the slope formula, midpoint formula, and distance formula to justify that a given quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Students listen to stories about the seasons, and discuss the kinds of clothing people wear for each season. They take a walk, collecting items to go with each season, then draw pictures to match the season.

In this motion worksheet, students will read 8 statements about displacement and velocity and determine if the statement is true or false. Then students will fill in the blank for 8 statements on motion. Finally, students will compare...

In this algebra instructional activity, students solve systems of equations using linear and quadratics. They graph their solutions on a coordinate plane. There are 5 questions with an answer key.

Students create a poster to explain composite functions. In this composite function worksheet, students explore linear equations and functions. They complete a worksheet and use manipulatives to complete problems.

Students apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. In this calculus lesson, students identify the graphical connections between functions and accumulation functions. They use a TI to represent the functions.

In this polar coordinates worksheets, students change ordered pairs from rectangular form to polar form. They plot and label points and identify alternative coordinate pairs for given points. There are approximately 20 problems on this...

Fifth graders observe six simple machines. Through student demonstration they define work and force and calculate the work done. They identify the utility of each of the six simple machines and how each one "exchanges" force for...

In this SOL worksheet, students solve inequalities, identify equivalent fractions and graph polynomial functions.  They find the geometric means and compute average rates.  This eight-page worksheet contains 20 multiple-choice...

In this algebra worksheet, students find the inverse of an equations. They graph their solutions and analyze it. There are 8 questions.

Students plan a mission to a recently discovered planet. In this science lesson, students research spacecraft design, distances in space, long-term missions in space, and life-sustaining planets. Students work in groups to research an...

Pupils examine the effects of a stimulus on a reflex by changing the strength or force at which the stimulus is applied. Students chart and record data of the lab using video tape.

Students create a glyph (a symbol or icon) that represents who they are, and read the glyphs of others to explain the glyphs' data.

Students design a fitness trail which incorporates warm-up, aerobic, and cool-down phases. Each student develops their own plan and monitors their own progress through the use of an exercise log.

Sixth graders conduct and analyze a survey that explores public perceptions about the reasons for seasonal change. They measure the changing length of days, observe shadows and discuss how the Earth's axis of rotation affects the seasons.

Pupils explore the law of reflection. Through experimentation and problem solving, they collect and analyze data pertaining to reflection. The data is plotted on a graph and formulas for calculating the x and y values are evaluated.

Students investigate the factors affecting the size of a crater. In this space science lesson, students collect data from the activity and graph them. They explain how velocity of impact relate to crater size.

Students investigate the concept of Veggie Gardening and develop the plans for a successful yield of crops. They answer some practical questions and then apply the information to the horticulture garden. The project includes finding the...

Seventh graders study how real airplanes fly and then they construct models of paper airplanes using design resources for the Internet and their own design. They use meaurement and caluculations in order to help them construct their...

Eighth graders experiment with M&M's and a cup attached to a spring to to simulate a bungee jump. They graph the results of the experiment and make predictions for continuing the experiment. They determine the "line of best fit."
