Students examine labels in the classroom to connect the written word with a message. They discover photographs of local buildings and their purpose. They also practice the classroom rules based on the labels.

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

Students orally describe Northern and Southern hemispheres, identify 7 continents, and point out specific countries and cities. They locate and record weather information.

Third graders measure distance using nonstandard units of measure. For this measurement lesson, 3rd graders measure a given distance through the use of the game "Mother May I?" Student gather and compare data on how many "giant steps"...

Students conduct an experiment to determine the distance between touch receptor fields in parts of the right-hand side of the body. They enter data into the data table.

Students read an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook, then demonstrate an understanding of the text by using it, along with FoilSim, to complete an activity that manipulates the lift coefficient equation.

Young scholars read an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook on lift and an explanation on the FoilSim software package given below. They use FoilSim to evaluate the relationship between wing area and lift.

Pupils, after reading an explanation on lift from a NASA Web-based textbook and an explanation on the FoilSim software package given below, use FoilSim to evaluate the relationship between velocity and lift.

Students demonstrate an understanding of aircraft launch airspeed requirements. They read a selection on relative velocities from a NASA Web-based textbook, then calculate airspeed launch requirement problems.

Students read an explanation from the NASA Web-based "textbook", The Beginner's Guide to Aerodynamics, then use the information in combination with data from other Web sites to solve single variable equations for distance (range), time,...

Fourth graders discuss life in a coral reef, and view photographs and a computer program about coral reefs. They design and create colorful watercolor, ink, and crayon drawings of coral reefs.

Pupils research several countries in Eastern Europe. Students compare and contrast several Eastern European countries and then choose a specific country to research and prepare a class presentation with their findings.

Students conduct Internet research to track the path of Hurricane Rita. They record the sea surface temperature of the Gulf of Mexico during and after the hurricane and draw conclusions about how hurricanes extract heat energy from the...

Students brainstorm list of possible highest locations in Oregon, identify and label places from list on map using color code, and discuss and identify causes of a rain shadow.

Middle schoolers convert recipes for tortillas. They calculate the amounts of ingredients as they convert recipes and write an explanation of the task to demonstrate their calculations. After reviewing their calculations, they...

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...

At the end of this instructional activity about graphs, charts, and tables, students will be able to interpret and compare data from graphs (including circle, bar, and line graphs), charts, and tables.

This lesson plan focuses on Interpreting and analyzing linear, quadratic, and exponential models and graphs. Students will use best fit lines to interpret contexts, distinguish whether contexts are linear or exponential functions, use...

In this lesson on interpreting slope and y-intercept, 8th graders will learn how to identify the slope and the y-intercept of a line in order to identify if a proportion is demonstrated.

In this task, 8th graders are presented with two intersecting line graphs and their linear equations. No values are shown on the axes. They are asked to interpret the constants in the equations in terms of their graphs, and make some...

In this lesson, students are to interpret graphs with equations of lines.

In this instructional activity, students receive raw data to construct a Lorenz Curve and calculate the Gini Coefficient. This instructional activity prepares AP Microeconomics students for the Advanced Placement exam. The teacher will...

Student use simple data to line up in a living bar graph activity when they respond to simple questions in this lesson plan. They physically and visually represent the data. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.B.3 Draw a scaled picture graph and a...

Students explore the meaning of density and use their math skills to graph mass/volume data, write an equation for a line, and interpret the slope of the line. Students also find the density of two unknown mineral samples and use those...
