Young scholars calculate distance and proportion of objects. In this algebra lesson, students define proportion and how it is used in math. They solve the problem through guided instruction.

Second graders accurately measure the distances they and their classmates jump. They determine the mean, median and mode of specific jumps. They are required to have two measurements for each classmate, one for standing long jump and one...

Students identify the slope of a line as negative, positive, zero or undefined. In this algebra lesson, students identify the distance versus the time using graphs of linear equation. They use the robot and the CEENBoT program to...

Students 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.

Students design, build, and test their own ramps. They are introduced to a variety of materials and explore putting them together. Students engage in an inquiry-based learning experience to reinforce math, science, and technology...

Students identify the locations of the Hopewell culture. In this map skills lesson, students use a globe to mark several locations of the Hopewell culture.

Pupils research and locate earthquake epicenters on a map using latitude and longitude. They determine if the depth of an earthquake has any relationship to the distance from a plate boundary.

Junior geologists examine topographic maps online and learn how to read them. they answer seven associated follow-up questions. This lesson plan is only a general outline and does not provide the details or the websites that you...

Students investigate error. As shown in earlier activities from navigation lessons 1 through 3, without an understanding of how errors can affect position, one cannot navigate well. Students explore how computers can help in navigation....

Students are able to identify the units associated with linear work. They are able to calculate the work done on an object. Students discover how the force exerted on an object and the distance the object moves determines the work done...

Students explore the relationship between time traveled, distance and speed.  In this solar race car lesson plan students wire solar batteries using series and parallel circuitry. 

Students identify the route of Magellan's voyage. In this map skills lesson, students use a globe to identify various coordinates where Magellan traveled.

Learners determine their own walking and running velocity. In this physics lesson plan, students calculate velocity using distance and time information. They compare human and animal speeds.

Students work together to test the strengths of various types of magnets. After testing, they create a graph showing how the strength changes as the distance from the magnet increases. They discuss how forces can act from various...

Students identify the different parts of a wave. In this physics instructional activity, students explain how animals communicate using sound waves. They discuss the effect of Navy's sonar on dolphins and whales.

Pupils place the stories of Chinese migration to Australia into geographical context, appreciating the distances travelled and the time involved - suggest reasons that people may have for migrating to Australia.

Students get up close and personal with principles of motion. In this physics instructional activity, students collect and analyze acceleration data on amusement park rides. Students use CBLs to collect data in this instructional activity.

Students build a realistic sense of geological time, seek clues of transition fossils and find them.  In this investigative lesson students complete several activities and worksheets on fossils. 

Seventh graders examine fossils.  In this vertebrate fossils lesson students view a demonstration.

Students solve triangles using the properties if congruency. In this geometry instructional activity, students apply congruent and similar figures to solve real world and math problems. They show they are able to follow instructions.

Seventh graders explore the concept of integer addition. In this integer addition lesson, 7th graders tell stories involving addition and subtraction. Students walk on a number line given directions such as add 3 or add -2. Students play...

Students study the Civil War era in the US with a concentration on women during this time through literature and biographies. They create a timeline or multimedia presentation as one product of this series of lessons.

Students examine the aftermath of a volcano. In groups, they participate in activities focusing on the impact on plants and animals. To end the instructional activity, they discuss the positives to the environment after a volcanic eruption.

Students investigate U.S. Geography by creating a map in class. In this natural resource lesson, students create a map of the United States and research the Northeast based on their resources and recyclable materials.  Students...
