Third graders measure the speed of sound using scientific investigative techniques.

Students use manipulatives and examine situations where probability can be used.

Pupils work together to build tetrahedral kites. They must follow directions and the provided materials. They discover the engineering concepts needed to make the kite.

Second graders organize solids into categories, depending upon whether they will roll, slide or do both on a home made ramp. Students describe and compare attributes of three-dimensional geometric solids.

Students describe, draw, and classify shapes. They use the internet to research the X-36 aircraft. Students identify the geometric shapes in the aircraft. They calculate the number of sides in an x-36.

Twelfth graders explain basic information concerning financial investments. They identify consumer rights and responsibilities and effective practices for purchasing consumer goods, services, housing and insurance. They list steps in...

Students read the indicated text and complete several suggested labs and activities. They answer critical thinking questions. This lesson is very hard to do without the indicated text.

Students use coupons to save. In this saving lesson students practice their addition, multiplication and estimating skills with dollars and cents. They investigate grocery coupons and look for ways to save money.

Students recognize patterns in a numerical sequence, create new patterns and predict outcomes to established sequences.

Students use problem solving skills to create various models of tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes. They classify the cubes into various groupings and identify them as mirror images, regular arrangements, and irregular arrangements....

Eighth graders create a website using FrontPage. They use inserted forms to collect survey information and use Microsoft Excel and MS Word to create a presentation of the survey and the results.

Students listen and discuss word problems that promote students to demonstrate logical reasoning. In this logical reasoning lesson plan, students discuss 10 word problems.

Students interpret magnetic field maps, rotate the coordinates to obtain different views, change the coordinate representation, and produce alternate graphical representations.

Students explore the concept of symmetry by drawing an the other half of an object. They pick from a stack of magazine pictures and draw it on another piece of paper.

Fifth graders examine a series of rules for deciphering a code. They create their own secret message using a code after watching video. They access a web site to practice their decoding skills.

Learners double check their data collections of Top 20 singles that they've been collecting for several days. Types of data is reviewed in detail and a variety of questions are asked for retention factors of mastery. They draw a tally...

Students practice measuring items. In this measurement lesson plan, students read the book Measuring Penny and create their own system of measurement. Students measure various items in the classroom, using their creative measurement system.

Students participate in an algebra jeopardy game. In this algebra review lesson, students are split into two groups and answer review questions from the Algebra I curriculum. Students use a prepared computer game as a game board.

Young scholars explore patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students explore patterns in hand-shaking scenarios. Young scholars work in groups to predict and record the number of handshakes that occur in a group.

Students play a memory game as they explore reasoning. In this algebra activity, students identify concepts using pictures and words. They model real life scenarios using hands on manipulatives.

Students collect real data on sound. In this algebra activity, students use a CBL and graphing calculator to observe the graph created by sound waves. They draw conclusion about the frequency of sound from the graph.

Learners examine the concepts of symmetry, rotations, reflections, translation, dialations, and tessellations and apply them to indigenous art. They also do Internet research and create artwork (painting, pottery, computer graphic design).
