Students discuss the weather conditions. They read thermometer, rain gauge, barometer, and wind direction and speed. They record observations of weather conditions and enter information into data base on the computer.

Third graders talk about all the various ways they get to school. They make a list of all the bus numbers that the students use. They also list all the other methods of transportation used and solidify a hypothesis.

Fourth graders use inductive reasoning to find algebraic patterns in geometric figures. They use technology (i.e., calculators, computers) and manipulatives to discover number patterns involving geometric concepts. They solve concrete...

Public health trainees read and write a summary of the article, "A Whiff of Danger". The article is not available through the link, but can be found on the National Center for Biotechnology Information website. After summarizing,...

Sixth graders examine how the sun's energy arrives as light with a range of wavelengths. They discuss the characteristics of light, examine the color of light using a spectroscope, and conduct an experiment using water and thermometers....

Eighth graders use a meter stick that is placed on a horizontal surface and an object is moved along it so that the shadow length can be measured at different distances from the light source. They solve real-world problems involving...

Students discover the relationships of the lengths of the sides of right triangles and right triangles using a series of drawings on dot paper. They investigate and solve problems of standard (customary and metric units) and non-standard...

Students explore the concept of normal distribution. In this normal distribution lesson, students find the normal distribution of taxes in the 50 US states. Students make histograms, frequency tables, and find the mean and median of tax...

Students differentiate functions based on their domain and range. In this algebra lesson, students define function, domain, range and relation. They analyze graphs and coordinate pairs for input and output values making up a function.

Students study sports teams, gather data about the teams, and create a newscast about their data. For this sports analysis lesson, students research two teams and define their statistical data. Students compare the two teams, make...

In this analyzing cubes activity, 9th graders solve and complete 6 different types of problems. First, they organize the given data into the table provided. Then, students study the patterns in the table and tell whether the pattern of...

Students solve problems using patterns. In this algebra lesson, students identify the relation, domain and range of a function. They graph functions using coordinate pairs.

In this proportion worksheet, students use proportions to find the missing side of similar triangles, they identify the percent of a number, and graph points on a coordinate plane. Students solve real life story problems dealing with...

Students construct a linear graph. In this graphing lesson plan, students determine a monthly budget for gasoline. Students construct a t-chart and coordinate graph to display data. Resources are provided.

Students investigate the concept of straight line motion. They determine the pattern and graph it looking for the motion maintained at a constant speed. Students also write a description of the significance of the line. The skill of...

If the flu outbreak continues, exams will have to be canceled. Investigate the properties of exponential and logarithmic functions. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI to examine and differentiate between exponential growth and...
