Students investigate the reasons for taking a census and determine the problems that are involved in the process. They examine the population figure for Montana and Lake county before using the information to complete the included...

High schoolers explore the basics of interpreting RUSS temperature and oxygen profile data. They are introduced to the Geographic Information Systems (GIS), particularly with respect to interpreting maps.

Students participate in a lesson in order to practice using systems of equations in order to graph them. A cumulative project in the form of a brochure, web page, or interactive kiosk make this lesson more engaging.

Students investigate the relationship between shape of object and moment of inertia. In this physics activity, students collect data from the experiment and use spreadsheet to graph them. They discuss how load affects deflection.

Students read one of the most important articles in modern medical history on the importance of conducting research in an ethical manner that includes participants who give informed consent.

Students pretend they are each genetic engineers with a test tube of unknown DNA (PCR'd) possibly taken from blood cells of someone with a genetic condition.

Learners integrate biology and chemistry into a medical framework. They nterpret observations and data and evaluate their hypotheses in the light of the data obtained.. They make appropriate diagnosis and recommend treatment.

Students design a mobile or wall hanging that reviews the circulatory system. For this circulatory system lesson, students work in small groups to identify the structures of the heart, and create a model in the form of a two or three...

For this population worksheet, students read word problems relating to population growth. They write the problem as a differential equation, create models and graphs of the solution. This three-page worksheet contains 10 multi-step...

Students investigate the concept of writing adventure stories. They follow the model of a "choose your own adventure story". Students practice the skill of making choices to get to a desired outcome. The application is when they follow...

Third graders examine and identify the six types of simple machines. Using a model of each simple machine, they demonstrate the state the function of them to the class. They discover examples of simple machines at school and home and...

Students discuss the steps of the water cycle. They create their own model of the water cycle. They complete the Family Page at the end of the lesson.

Learners study and discuss famous deaf people that are role models for students who are deaf. They research a famous deaf American and create a ten frame multimedia presentation to showcase the information.

Eighth graders research the connection between the convection currents within the mantle of the earth and the moving of Earth's plates. A connection to lessons at previous grade levels on the rock cycle and important background...
