Learners investigate systems of equations as they use the Ti-Navigator to explore scenarios about dog races and NASCAR races. Pupils determine the winner of the race and when opponents pass each other given a speed and distance.

Young scholars learn that sound waves can be directed and collected. In this sound wave experiment, students create and collect sound waves. Young scholars learn sound waves travel differently through different states of matter.

For this topographic map worksheet, young scholars learn how to read a topographic map and create a topographic map of their own using clay or Play-Doh. Students include contour lines by layering the clay. Young scholars answer 6...

Students explore the Solar System. In this cross-curriculum space instructional activity, students identify the planets, name them in order according to distance from the sun, and describe major characteristics of each planet. Students...

Students explore the water cycle. In this earth science activity, students work in small groups to read various books on the water cycle and take notes on chart paper. Students share their notes and teach a younger audience what they...

Learners conduct an experiment. In this physical science lesson, students learn about Isaac Newton's theory that for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction. Learners show this theory by looking at how a rocket is propelled...

Students practice trends forecasting to predict the weather. For this forecasting lesson plan, students learn how meteorologists predict the weather by looking at weather trends. They then predict their own forecast, analyze the results,...

Students use the design process to investigate physical science.  In this force and motion instructional activity, design a track to achieve a specified outcome. Students complete additional experiments with speed and...

Students will learn the meaning of food science and management for the classroom and laboratory. Background For Teachers: NOTE TO TEACHERS: A pre-assessment should never be graded. Good pre-assessment devices, however, can also be used...

Students begin the instructional activity by developing a map of Kelsey Island by following specific instructions. In groups, they are given a block of ice in which they tie a rope around and drag over various rocks for different...

Young scholars investigate the engineering design process and the relationship between distance, time, and speed. Using a generic car base, small groups design a device that will protect an egg on or in the car as it is rolled down a...

Students study the concepts of motion, velocity, and acceleration through graphing their own movement using LoggerPro. They explain the difference between speed and velocity using the weather vane example. They discover the difference...

This lesson includes visuals and animations designed to aid the instructor or coach to help young scholars learn to use correct techniques in playing badminton. Visuals include drills, tutorials, and exhibitions suitable for all levels...

Students apply definitions and theorems to verify special quadrilaterals using coordinate geometry. They apply the slope formula, the midpoint formula, and the distance formula to justify that a given quadrilateral is a parallelogram....

First graders learn the "Quilt Song." They brainstorm items they could draw that would remind them of the person in the song. Students work in groups to complete a "Person Outline" page (included with the activity). They draw one part of...

Students identify, interpret and demonstrate a positive learning attitude. They identify, comprehend and use basic concepts and skills and then, communicate clearly in oral, artistic, written, and nonverbal form. Students also identify...

Students adopt a constellation and find detailed information about their constellation. In this constellation lesson plan, students use the web to find information about a constellation of their choice. They identify the history of the...

Students understand that the rotation of the Earth is responsible for the seasons. In this seasonal cycles lesson, students learn how the rotation of the Earth affects the seasons. Students answer questions about the rotation, the...

Students perform experiments to learn about their sense of taste and smell.  In this taste and smell lesson, students watch as a blindfolded student tries to identify sounds and the direction they originate from.  Students...

Young scholars identify the different objects that orbit Saturn. In this space science lesson, students plot the graph of orbital speed and distance. They explain why planets and asteroids remain in orbit around the sun.

Eighth graders draw the paths of the planets in the solar system. In this astronomy lesson, 8th graders calculate speed of objects using distance and time information. They research about the work of scientists in the 16th and 17th century.

Young scholars explore the transit of Venus and the information that this minieclipse provides about the distance between the Earth and the sun. They create their own astronomical units.
