Students identify and analyze how the geologic time scale was developed by investigating 11 periods of time and the vast expanse of time of the Earth's existence. They study their period, determine the important factors indicative to...

Eighth graders study the relationship between fractions, decimals and percentages by completing activities. In this research analysis lesson, 8th graders look at different websites to figure out Jewish populations in different situations.

Students studykinetic energy, friction, drag and acceleration by relating it to the Winter Olympics.  In this physical properties lesson plan students create tracks and determine how the course conditions affect bobsled, luge...

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.

Middle schoolers examine recycling efforts. In this environmental stewardship activity, students trace recycling efforts and script a skit regarding incandescent light bulbs' effect on the environment.

Students explore biotic and abiotic factors in landscape design. In this landscaping lesson, students create 3-dimensional models that represent landscape designs taking into consideration climate and planting requirements.

Young scholars compare and contrast forced marriages with arranged marriages. In this current events lesson, students examine legislation regarding forced marriages and then debate the forced marriage law in Britain.

Students explore the needs of plants. In this science lesson, students plant seeds and place one in a sunny spot and the other in a dark area. Students observe what happens.

Students investigate the use of credit cards. For this algebra lesson, students differentiate the interest rate of credit cards and how to stay debt free. They identify pros and cons of credit cards.

Learners investigate why some potato chips crumple faster than others. In this physics lessons, students relate the cooking time to potato's fragility. They write a lab report about their findings.

Fourth graders identify the events and inventions that have caused a change in the state of Texas. Using the internet, they research the year these took place and create a timeline. They identify the positive or negative impact of each...

Students examine what happens when air temperature drops and gets closer to the dewpoint. They perform a lab activity which illustrates the effects on humidity, precipitation and barometric air pressure.

Students take plants of their own choice and pollute the soil with a pollutant of their own choice or one assigned by the teacher. They regularly record observations such as plant growth, health, and soil pH.

Students use data from simulations to make theoretical generalizations. They discuss possible relationships between several given events and gain understanding about their own mathematical intuition about likelihood.

Students track an ozone event in Groton, CT. They compare weather changes and the subsequent ozone levels. Also, they make comparisons and determinations about ozone levels.

Eighth graders explore how to take soil samples and use GPS to determine the location of the site they have chosen to take the samples.

Students develop a process for analyzing collected bayou data. They find the mathematical relationships among various biological factors. Students, work collaboratively using technology in their data analysis.

This lesson is designed to introduce students to Canada's role in World War II and the impact it had on Canadian society. It allows the opportunity to improve their research skills by selecting various pieces of information from a...

Young scholars distribute copies of a survey to the local community about famous women. They gather the data and present it in a clear way. They examine the community's view on different issues.

Students receive instruction on dominant/recessive traits, access World-Wide Search for the Dominant Trait and download information on which traits to assess. They collect data on at least 20 people and prepare a data chart.

Students explore temperature variation in lakes and deal with the data.

Learners investigate the concept of lung capacity. They use flow meters to measure the maximum capacity of themselves and others. The data is collected in order to make some conclusions concerning the mean of individual lung capacity....

Students make an inquiry with the aid of technology into the concept of functions. The emphasis of the lesson plan is on the interplay between the geometric and analytic information.

Students research the ways in which scientists study glaciers and glacial change. They interpret real time data and calculate the estimated global sea level rise potential. A very good activity to illustrate global warming.
