Pupils explore linear functions in this lesson when they collect and analyze data as a chemical reaction proceeds. Learners record pressure versus time data and model the data as a linear function. They also examine the concept of slope...

Pupils explore data collection in this lesson. They investigate distance vs. time and velocity vs. time graphs using information collected with a CBR 2 to simulate the reconstruction of an accident.

High schoolers conduct chemical experiments. In this chemistry lesson, they investigate reactions using the CBL system. Learners will graph and analyze their data using a TI.

Students analyze data and create a line graph. In this graphing instructional activity, students explore data from a previous experiment and plot the information on a line graph. Students analyze their findings.

Students study the water cycle and how the sun is an important factor.  In this water cycle lesson students investigate how to desalinate water and explore the different densities of fresh versus saltwater.

Students identify the adaptive forces in the life cycle of plants, animals, and humans, isolate and identify the role that change and adaptation play in extreme environments and research and write a short term paper using MLA citations.

Students record all of the instances of physics and science they are involved with in a full day. As a class, they complete a KWL chart on physics and read a story about Murphy's Law and the character's experiences. Individually, they...

Middle schoolers explore an important role of environmental engineers by studying the Exxon Valdez oil spill. They experiment with different strategies in order to clean up their own manufactured oil spill.

Students experiment with common objects such as spools, string and soap to determine how pulleys make it easier to move large objects. They look at the difference between fixed and movable pulleys. They examine the many uses engineers...

Third graders create a butterfly drawing that includes the elements of art and principles of design. They create artwork that can be made into ceramic tiles to be installed around the classroom doorways in our new addition.

Students research an animal. In this research lesson, students utilize various types of technology to gather information about an animal. Students create a class blog and use digital photography for their research.

Students experiment to investigate static electricity.  In this static electricity instructional activity, students prepare a balloon head and draw a face on it.  Students rub the nose and the balloon moves toward the student...

Students perform experiments to see if items will sink or float. In this sink or float lesson, students work in groups to make predictions, and record the results. After the experiments are complete students make a book of the results.

Tenth graders experiment with gravity and air pressure. In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders build their own kits and fly it. They investigate the questions: what keeps a kite in the air and what are some important...

Students experiment and discuss circuits and how they work. In this science lesson, students construct a telegraph machine using cardboard, wires, battery, electric tape and masking tape. They investigate what happens as the circuits...

Learners read, write about, and cook with rice in this home economics activity. They reflect on the experience eating rice at home or in other ethnic foods.

Third graders review the effects of gravity on how objects move. In groups, they design a roller coaster and share it with their classmates. Using materials given to them, they build their roller coaster and let a ball roll on the...

Learners test their local aquatic site to determine its water clarity. They collect a water sample and measure its turbidity using a sensor, then they repeat the experiment to obtain a second turbidity reading to find the average value.

Learners analyze data using bar graphs and the TI in this statistics lesson. They investigate quick polls and graph the data using different properties of statistics. This assignment requires a TI Navigator.

Pupils detect the waveform of musical notes to determine the code for the "safe" in this forensics simulation lesson. They use a microphone and tuning forks along with Vernier EasyData on their graphing calculator to analyze five musical...

Learners investigate surveying in this secondary mathematics instructional activity. They will explore a real world application of geometry and trigonometry as they create a plot plan using a geometry utility and calculate the area of...

Pupils solve equations using a TI in this algebra lesson plan. They will practice solving equations and systems of equations on a TI. The TI-Navigator is required for this assignment.

Students experiment with a variety of liquids to calculate density. In this integrated science and math activity, students listen to a story in which the characters must prove and explain why 5 "mystery" liquids react in a certain...

First graders identify the parts of a seed. In this plant biology lesson, 1st graders are given a seed and identify each part of the seed by using a hand lens. Students plant a seed and graph the growth.
