Compute fuel economy and gas mileage. Why? So you can teach rates and ratios, of course! Middle schoolers calculate the rate of miles per gallon for various vehicles. They research each vehicle, its mileage per gallon, and cost per...

Students apply information regarding simple machines along with the math concept "ratios." The teacher introduces the concept that technology is the application of scientific knowledge and mathematics concepts to solve a problem. This is...

Students work cooperatively in groups to research a topic of their choice. They create a multimedia presentation of the information researched. Throughout the project they generate their own progress journals.

Amelia Earhart's accomplishments and strength of character extend beyond her status as one of the first female aviators in America. Elementary and middle schoolers learn about Earhart's early life and the historical context surrounding...

Integrate history, math, and art into a study of The Grapes of Wrath with a series of activities that ask learners to investigate the social, political, economic, and environmental factors at play during the 1930s. Designed to be used...

Learners take the abstract concept of binary representation and create a more tactile and concrete approach. Using egg cartons, they create a physical representation of binary numbers. The egg cartons become a tool to assist students in...

Middle schoolers explore data sheets and statistics in baseball. They use baseball data available on the Internet to develop an understanding of the different ways in which data can be analyzed.

Students experience sorting. In this organization lesson, students play a computer sorting game called "Flood Game" on the "Between the Lions" website. Students visit a library and observe and discuss book organization. Students work in...

Learners utilize a digital camera to record interesting objects in their environment.  In this ecology lesson, students participate in a mini-field trip around their campus as they take 2-3 pictures of the school environment....

Second graders collect data from their families about their reading habits and graph them. In this graphing family reading habits lesson, 2nd graders interview family members about their reading habits. They then use a graphing computer...

Young scholars measure the calorie content of food. In this technology instructional activity, students explore where the CEENBoTs get the energy to make it move. They create a Venn diagram showing the differences of energy in food and...

Whether it's cute cat videos or pictures from an epic vacation, scholars love to check out what's happening on social media! But, how much sharing is too much? A lesson from a vast digital citizenship series poses some serious points to...

Student and compare the three types of friction. In this physics lesson plan, young scholars determine the coefficient of friction using the CEENBoT. They investigate how friction changes as the angle of the incline changes.

Students label the fault lines and tectonic plate boundaries on the world map. In this earth science lesson, students simulate ocean floor formation using CEENboTs. They explain the causes of earthquakes.

Pupils compare and contrast where friction occurs in robots and bicycles. For this science lesson, students label the diagram of bicycle and robots. They investigate how friction affects their different parts.

Students simulate strike slip faults using CEENBoTs. In this earth science instructional activity, students identify the fault lines and tectonic plates on a world map. They label the different parts of a fault line.

Students investigate the rigid motions of reflection, rotation, translation, and dilation. This investigation be accomplished through classroom instruction and exploration using Geometer's Sketchpad.

Students research the history and uses of the different elements in the periodic table. In this chemistry lesson, students explain the significance of an element's valence electrons. They create a multimedia presentation of an element...

Young scholars use Excel to solve quadratic equations by trial and improvement. They enter formulas and try different solutions to improve their solutions more quickly. Afterwards, they report the solutions to different levels of accuracy.

Students interact with a morning meeting slideshow. They read, write and watch information that is projected onto a whiteboard.
