Knowing how to start up a steep hill while mountain biking is a good skill to have. Otherwise, if one stoppped part way up and couldn't get started up again, what would be the point. This lesson offers up some good cues in getting set to...

What happens when the opponents hit a hard spiked ball downward at you? Dig it! More practice digging! Lesson 15 reviews and refocuses on the skill of digging that was taught in instructional activity 14. The players can never have...

One of the hardest skills to learn in volleyball is how to spike the ball. Lesson 17 teaches about the footwork to prepare for spiking and focuses on the importance of the wrist snap. There is a diagram of the set-up for the hitting...

Learn the skills of blocking, as well as specific footwork and arm positions. Timing is especially important in performing a good block. Learn these skills and practice them! This volleyball unit has twenty lessons.

Pass, set, spike! Putting all these skills together and running some practice drills is what lesson 9 is all about. It's not as easy as it sounds. Passing with accuracy, setting where the hitter can spike, timing the hit. It all takes a...

Digging in volleyball refers to passing a hard hit, as in a spiked, ball. Since the ball is intended to be hit hard at the floor, positioning is important when attempting to dig it. The player needs to be low to the ground to dig a ball...

A strong volleyball lesson cover positioning for serve receive and transitioning from those positions to offensive attack. There are many ways to set up for serve receive depending on the rotation of the group and the skills of the...

Lesson 19 of 20 in this extensive volleyball unit is about bringing it all together. Pass, set, hit! A volleyball players mantra. So practice, practice, practice. Practice receiving the ball and making a pass to the setter, who then sets...

Twelfth graders differentiate between inductive and deductive proofs.  In this differentiating between inductive and deductive proofs lesson, 12th graders compare strengths and weaknesses of each type of proof.  Students...

Students examine how changing magnetic fields induce currents in loops and coils, determine orientation and magnitude of magnetic field, describe Michael Faraday's experiments that led to conclusion that changing magnetic force induces...

Young scholars study Faraday's law of induction and the equations that show how to calculate electromagnetic induction.  In this electromagnetic lesson plan students complete several experiments on the law of induction.

High schoolers analyze and distinguish between deductive and inductive arguments. They produce, construct and evaluate deductive and inductive arguments. Each student reviews a list of key terms dealing with both types of arguments and...

Students investigate electromagnetic induction. In this physics lesson, students construct Faraday's coil to observe what happens when a wire moves through a changing electromagnetic field. They complete lab report and present results to...

Students conduct a series of experiments on electromagnetic induction. In this physics lesson, students apply the right hand rule to determine the current direction and electromotive force. They test Lenz's and Faraday's law by observing...

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concepts of integration and induction. They view a video about integration and take a quiz on induction. Students use the resource links to view information added to the lesson to...

Creating buildings that reach hundreds of feet into the sky is no easy task. The third instructional activity in this series begins with four activities that engage young architects in exploring the major challenges that are faced when...

Twelfth graders define and prove theorems using induction. In this calculus lesson, 12th graders differentiate between inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning. They review sigma notations and work proofs by induction.

Students investigate proofs through practice and example. In this calculus lesson plan, students watch a video on integration, discuss induction and take a quiz. They prove their understanding of a proof by induction.

Third graders study Thanksgiving. In this physical education and spelling lesson plan, 3rd graders play a race game by being the first group who can spell the word Thanksgiving first.

Students explore their physical abilities by participating in a sport. In this volleyball lesson, students discover the different techniques and skills needed to play volleyball by moving from different stations with small groups....

A solar cell is similar to a rechargeable battery in many ways. Science lab groups connect each in a series circuit to run a mini motor and then compare and contrast them by answering questions and completing a Venn diagram. This is an...

Students are introduced to the topic of electromagnetic induction. In groups, they describe ways in which the magnetic flux can change and discuss emf and current. They use different scientists laws and apply it to various scenerios in a...

Mystery is an exciting genre for young readers to investigate. The plots are so intriguing! Here is a series of lessons featuring Sherlock Holmes stories that invite learners to enter the world of the mystery genre.  Based on what...

Logical thinking is at the forefront of this jam-packed lesson, with young mathematicians not only investigating geometric concepts but also how they "know what they know". Through each activity and worksheet, learners wrestle with...
