Students create a tally chart. In this math and health lesson, students discuss healthy foods and create a tally chart showing the number of students who like to eat healthy foods.

Students collect data. In this math lesson, students collect data about recyclable materials. Students develop a plan that will help the environment. Recycling plastic containers is discussed.

In this music worksheet, 4th graders study terminology associated with vocal music. Students are then asked to complete five multiple choice questions and provided with one extra credit option.

Young learners explore friction. They view a video or DVD (bibliography provided) and define terms related to friction, and work in groups to experiment with the effects of friction on speed and motion using ramps and toy cars.

Eighth graders take a quiz to review the different objects in space. As a class, they define terms related to galaxies. In groups, they make a model of the Milky Way galaxy using materials provided to them by their teacher. To end the...

Pupils explore the use of lasers. In this "lasers" science and career education lesson, students search the Internet to find uses for lasers and make a list of companies that use or produce lasers. Pupils complete a lasers and making...

Fourth graders conduct surveys to collect data. They analyze and interpret the data, then determine which type of graph is appropriate for the data. Students use the data to make predictions, discover patterns and draw conclusions...

High schoolers discuss line graphs and scatter plots and the best situations in which to use them. Using the graphs, they determine the type of correlation between variables on a scatterplot. They create a scatterplot and line graph...

Students use graphs to calibrate an RCX car. They must then program the car to traverse a maze using their calibrations

Students develop a line graph based on distances that an RCX car drives in specified amounts of time. They then are given a specific amount of time for the car to drive and be asked to extrapolate the car's distance from the graph.

Fourth graders build an explorer vehicle which they program through an obstacle course to enter the tomb or temple to discover artifacts.

Students research bird migration and build a bird house. In this bird lesson plan, students research the birds in their area and where they migrate to. They also build their own bird house and record data on what kinds of birds come to...

Students explore the density of soap. In this science instructional activity, students conduct an experiment to find which types of soap will float. Students make a hypothesis and record their observations.

Students take part in various activities ranging from creating a human clock, to small group problem solving to reinforce the concept of telling time accurately to five minutes on an analog clock.

Students read the novel Stone Fox by John Reynold Gardiner. Using Lego RCX units, students build and program sleds to re-enact the "home stretch" of the National Dog Sled Race.

Pupils complete several games and experiments, tally and graph their results. They figure the mean, median, range and/or average of their graphs to describe class results. They consider which statistic best represents the data at hand.

Students explore how jelly beans are produced. They discuss the origins of the jelly bean and view a video about how jelly beans are prepared, tested, shaped, finished, and shipped and estimate the amount of jelly beans in a jar and sort...

Students create a graph of tulip growth. In this data analysis lesson, students plant tulip bulbs and use graph paper to begin graphing data on the growth of the tulip.

Learners chart temperatures in Egypt on spreadsheet to determine how weather conditions affect lifestyles.

Students develop procedures to explore the behavior of fish.  In this scientific experiment lesson students from a hypothesis, write a question, identify different variables and controls in their experiment. 

Students challenge "common knowledge" against newly learned estimation strategies and put those strategies into use. They consider variables in estimating different groups of objects and practice skills of representing numbers.

Eighth graders research box plots on the Internet. They gather real life statistics and analyze the collected statistics by making multiple box plots on the TI-83 calculator.

Students view a demonstration that simulates cloud formation. They read a poem about clouds, participate in a class demonstration using warm water and ice and write a paragraph summarizing their observations.

Students use their practice book to complete their piano lessons. They examine the history of music and complete pages in a workbook. They create their own music by using the computer.
