Ninth graders analyze published geologic hazard maps of California and comprehend how to use the map's information to identify evidence of geologic events of the past and present and predict geologic changes in the future. They select...

Learners collect data on a robot and relate the behavior to prove there is an infinite minute set of numbers. In this algebra lesson, students verify that there is always a number between two numbers. They analyze and make inference...

Students identify symmetry and create their own frog design. Students apply hand-eye coordination in placing their designs of cross-stitch netting. Students identify with new textures. Students present and analyze their design once...

Students find equations of parabolas in real world scenarios.  In this finding equations of parabolas in real world scenarios lesson, students find the equations of parabolas of US landmarks.  Students put a grid on landmarks...

Learners work collaboratively to gain a better understanding of the vastness of space by scaling down the solar system. They measure by inches, gain an understanding of space, and model the distances of the planets from the sun.

Tenth graders create a topographic map and see how it represents  different elevations. In this topographic maps lesson plan students read and interpret topographic maps. 

Learners use candy to explore fractions and percentages.

Learners 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.

Students practice plotting temperature data points on a line graph in groups and examine the temperature differences at the same time of year. They graph the temperatures in Lannon, WI, and Mitchell's Plain, SA. After the data has been...

"How's the Weather?" is an exercise that combines science and math as students graph the weather along the Iditarod Trail. They complete a double-line graph of the weather of a chosen checkpoint over the course of one week. Students...

Students identify foods that are made from wheat. They use a line graph to explain measurement. They identify foods from the food groups and explain how temperature, prefcipitation and natural resources affect the growth of wheat.

Students use Hudson River salinity data to create a line graph that shows the location of the salt front, and use math skills to explore how this location varies over time. They use the graph to estimate the location of the salt front...

Eighth graders examine the difference between speed, velocity and acceleration.  In this velocity lesson students read and construct a line graph and a bar graph to show information about velocities of sports activities. 

Students explore the concept of vertex-edge graphs.  In this vertex-edge graphs lesson, students try to construct a graph with a given diameter, number of vertices, size, and planarity.  Students construct various vertex-edge...

Sixth graders graph acceleration and practice using the metric system. In this physics lesson, 6th graders take turns timing each other as they walk 15 meters. Students then chart and graph their data using the metric system.

Learners graph the varying sizes of dinosaurs.  In this math and dinosaur lesson, students view dinosaur models and compare the different shapes and sizes of the dinosaurs.  Learners complete a dinosaur math activity, read The...

Fifth graders make a model of the ocean floor.  For this ocean characteristics lesson, 5th graders complete a KWL chart about the ocean floor, use the Ocean Depth Data Sheet to create a graph, and create a 3-D model of the ocean...

Students keep track of money. In this money management lesson, students read Less Than Zero by Stuart J. Murphy and manipulate a number line to keep track of spending and borrowing in the story.

Third graders explore and analyze about famous African-Americans by listening to four picture book biographies. They generate a list of 15 famous African-Americans and then create a survey to rank them according to importance of...

Students explore basic cloud types and the weather associated with each one.  In this earth science lesson plan, students participate in numerous activities including going outside to observe the clouds they see, making a cloud...

Students predict and estimate the number of moose shot by people between the years of 1986-1990. They analyze data and statistics, construct bar graphs, and conduct research on the Alaskan moose.

Fourth graders complete a taste test of different sandwiches, rate them, and then put them in a ratio graph. In this ratio lesson plan, 4th graders write what they learned about ratios after this activity.

Fifth graders are introduced to the topic of means. Calculating the mean, mode and median, they describe what each set of numbers tell and do not tell about the data. They use a line graph to practice finding the mean. They also use...

Seventh graders participate in an experiment in which they calculate the time of decomposition of different materials. In groups, they fill bags with different materials and cover them in soil. After six months, they create a line graph...
