Students explore the concept of "shape affects speed" through a series of experiments. In this physics lesson plan, students participate in an experiment in which various objects are released on an inclined plane. Speed and distance are...

In this chemistry review worksheet, students classify and name compounds, calculate atomic mass, draw Lewis Dot Diagrams, and determine number of protons for atoms. This worksheet has 37 fill in the blank, 38 matching, and 3 short answer...

In this pie graph instructional activity, students draw a pie graph for the zookeeper with the data he collected, choose a different color for each animal species and make a key to the graph.

For this geometry worksheet, students answer questions about midpoints, distance, lines and segments. They are given different shapes and asked to calculate the angles, and sides of polygons.

Students work together to identify marine debris. They explain the effect of the debris on various ecosystems. They draw different types of ocean currents as well.

In this motion worksheet, students write 2 or 3 techniques for showing motion in cartoons. Students also draw 3 cartoon panels of 2 automobiles on a highway, one moving at a constant speed and the other one accelerating.

Students create a pattern out of pattern blocks. In this math lesson, students work with a partner to investigate the pattern they have. Within that group, students continue to design the pattern by adding the next two pieces....

Students listen as the teacher tells about the life of Keith Haring. Using drawing paper and pencils, they sketch figures and shapes in the style of K. Haring. They discuss the mural with students, and they vote on colors to use....

Students explain what is near and far in respect to the horizon line on a 2-d surface. They blend and use oil pastels correctly and explain the concept of a horizon line.

Fifth graders explore the abstract form of drawing of Paul Klee. They create a drawing of an animal using contour line in the same style.

Get your class thinking about the geography that shaped the Egyptian landscape and culture. They compare ancient climate zones and geogrpahical fetures, locate evidence of plate tectonics, take and quiz, and write a short essay. The...

Fifth graders use cut and paste paper composition inspired by the work of Henri Matisse and his book called "Jazz." After composition is completed, 5th graders select 2 shapes to reproduce in minitaure for border.

Students study geometric images and polyhedrons. In this geometry lesson, students complete several activities to learn about geometric shapes and classify polyhedrons from polygons. Students watch a video, complete a web-directed...

Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The worksheet includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.

Get into springtime with a festive practice sheet designed to test scholars' knowledge of grids. Learners locate items such as watering cans, snails, and flowers following the x and y-axis. Worksheet themes include Earth Day, gardening,...

Further your instruction on geometrical symmetry with an investigation of circles. Fourth graders come to realize that the lines of symmetry of a circle are infinite.

Young geometers develop one of the fundamental properties of quadrilaterals (connecting side midpoints gives a parallelogram) in this short but thought-provoking exercise. Using a combination of hands-on techniques and abstract algebraic...

Challenge the class to utilize their knowledge of linear and quadratic functions to determine the intersection of the parent quadratic graph and linear proportional graphs. Using the pattern for the solutions, individuals develop a...

How does the number of sides of a polygon affect the angle measures? Learners recognize a pattern in finding the total measure of interior and exterior angles and the number of diagonals. They use the patterns to calculate...

Students draw a chair from five different perspectives. After using the shapes from their drawings to create a cubist collage, students paint their collage monochromatically.

Students classify polygons by name and shape. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the lateral surface of each conic. They differentiate between cones, cylinders and spheres.

Students identify and use the similarity theorem. For this geometry lesson, students differentiate between congruent and similar triangles. They solve problems using the computer modifying shapes by dragging.

NOT A LESSON Students

High schoolers use 3-dimensional materials to create a simple 3-D object. They think about different ways the object could be sliced. Students choose one way to slice the object, and draw the sliced shape on paper or computer. Using a...
