Students sort a variety of manipulatives and use a software program that provides more sorting practice.

Fourth graders build an explorer vehicle which they program through an obstacle course to enter the tomb or temple to discover artifacts.

Students examine nautical navigation and discover the differences between nautical charts and other types of maps or charts. Students practice setting a course, taking a bearing, and dead reckoning. This gives students an example of...

Students explore the concept of fractals. In this fractal lesson, students use applets to explore Koch's Snowflake, Sierpinski's Triangle, and other fractals. Students develop these concepts through exploration and teacher guided...

Students investigate the use of multiplication and division of whole numbers to solve problems including equivalent ratios and rates.

Students are introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They practice translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane. students use computers to learn about the three concepts.

Learners explore different types of quadrilaterals. Students define the terminology used with quadrilaterals. They create particular quadrilaterals based on specific characteristics of the quadrilaterals using an online tool.

The lesson plan includes scaffolding with the use of a teacher assistant and peer tutoring. The instructional activity has good intentions and the set up for instruction is well thought out. However, there is not enough information in...

Students assign numbers to describe objects. In this number lesson, students assign numbers to objects and compare more, less, and equal values. They write down descriptions of plants including the number of leaves and height of the...

Students stud angles, and then play the "What's Your Angle?" game. They complete at least 10 computer generated problems from the Angles Applet.

Students investigate the force of drag and how NASA engineers use models and glowing paints to examine how air flows over vehicles in a wind tunnel. They discover how the blended wing body will affect air travelers of the future.

Students explore the pattern of the unit cell. For this science lesson, students color the unit cells on a worksheet and create a pattern using unit cells.

Students construct a three-dimensional model of the Pantheon.

Students complete a unit of lessons on basic roof framing. They discuss the various styles of roofs, identify the styles in the neighborhood, cut out rafters using circular saws, and assemble roof rafters.

Young scholars are introduced to the concept of aerial perspective and scale. Students will use satellite technology to view their neighborhoods and sketch the area surrounding their schools. They will take part in a neighborhood walk to...

Students, after reading an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook, demonstrate an understanding of the text by applying it to the calculation of area, velocity, and pressure in a wind tunnel.

Pupils build a working definition of regular fractal, look carefully at the concepts of dimension and scale, and are introduced to logarithms. They solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by trial and error and using logs.

Students identify geometrical shapes displayed in photographs of everyday objects in a metropolitan setting.

Middle schoolers build a working definition of a regular fractal, they measure the concepts of dimensions and scale, they explore the concept of a logarithm and they attempt to solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by...

Students measure and label specified angles. In this angles lesson, students use a protractor to find angles that are acute, obtuse, and reflexive. Students then label each angle and match the angles the correct definition. This lesson...
