Third graders make models of fractions and mixed numbers. Using fraction strips and drawing pictures, 3rd graders develop conceptual understanding of the equivalent forms. Students use the number line to represent and compare...

Students create pen and ink drawings to practice new techniques. The lesson includes finished product images so the instructor can have target assignments to aid in the assessment process for the monitoring of student progress.

Students use the Live Access Server (LAS) to form maps and a numerical text file of snow cover for each continent on a particular date. They analyze the data for each map and corresponding text file to determine an estimate of snow cover...

Students create and develop a travel mug. They create visuals and a three dimensional infomercial. They apply an engineering design and demonstrate knowledge of thermodynamics involved in heat transfer. They illustrate Newton's Law of...

Pupils practice an alternative form of data presentation. They practice sequencing data, identifying the stem-and-leaf, creating stem-and-leaf plots, and drawing inferences from the data by viewing the plots.

Students are introduced to the organization of data This lesson is designed using stem and leaf plots. After gather data, they create a visual representation of their data through the use of a stem and leaf plot. Students drawing...

Second graders investigate the concept of addition and subtraction while manipulating a variety of different resources. They focus upon the use of the games in order to keep student engagement. Then students are given the opportunity to...

Learners explore the concept of momentum. For this physics lesson, students observe and compare two "carts" being released to move in various situations, and draw conclusions as to why the carts moved or didn't move.

Young scholars experiment bubbles. In this scientific method lesson plan, students identify variables used in proper experiment design. Young scholars conduct experiments with different brands of dish-washing detergent to determine which...

Students explore the concept of misleading statistics. In this misleading statistics lesson, students play a game of tag and graph the number of times each student gets tagged. Students use the graph to determine the fastest runner in...

Students explore the concept of statistical data. In this statistical data lesson, students read an article about the dangers of peanut butter to those who are allergic. Students perform a taste test of two different brands of peanut...

Students explore the concept of stem and leaf plots.  In this stem and leaf plots lesson, students plot the 50 US states' capitals on a stem and leaf plot according to the first letter of each state.  Students compare...

Students complete a science experiment to study insulation, heat transfer, and permafrost. In this permafrost study lesson, students design and test a soda insulator. Students graph their class data and discuss the results. Students...

Students explore climate regions. In this climate lesson plan, students examine the climate regions of Alaska as well as the state of Hawaii. Students research selected Internet sources to gather information regarding the climates...

Students differentiate triangular prisms from other prisms using nets. In this geometry lesson, students define the properties of a triangular prism and its symmetry. They build a triangular prism moving lines around.

Students calculate the volume and surface are of three-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students use the nets to prove their calculations of shapes. They identify the different parts of a solid using the nets.

Pupils add up the different angles using the angle addition postulate. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between interior and exterior angles. They calculate the different angles for triangles and use proof to show their...

Third graders discuss light sources and collect data about energy sources. They compare data and create a multiple line graph showing energy used by light sources for each student in the group. They present their graphs and write a...

Pupils analyze data to make hypotheses and conclusions regarding the predator/prey relationship between moon snail and surf clams.

Students explore ways people from around the world are like them. They discuss how geography affects the way people live and work and how culture affects a person's day to day life. Students give a presentation over a chosen country to...

Students examine the concepts of porosity and permeability. They conduct experiments to determine the porosity and permeability of gravel, sand, and clay. After performing the experiments they collect and graph data, comparing the...

Third graders identify bones, muscles and joints. They explore and investigate the interaction between bones, muscles and joints, and movement of the hand or foot. To help the teacher provides a poster of the human skeleton.

In this math worksheet, students participate in an investigation of Smarties candy. For example, students estimate how many candies they have in each color, count the actual number, and record the information in a tally chart.

In this osmosis worksheet, students put a strip of potato in three different solutions and document the changes in the potato to determine is the solutions were hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic. This worksheet has 6 short answer...
