Learners explore, experiment and analyze the concept of using dummies in a car crash test. They collaborate in a series of tests designed to simulate what really happens in a two-car collision. Each student incorporates probability,...

High schoolers collect data from mealworms. In this science and math lesson plan, students gain an understanding of collecting metric data using mealworms.

Third graders explore and identify the tools that can be used to measure length, mass/weight, and volume. They discuss how things are measured using different units, and observe the difference between the English and the Metric systems....

Learners, after examining three forms of poetry, review and document a variety of literary terms. Vocabulary words are enveloped into the literary terms as well and are cited from each selection by each student.

Students study genes. In this biology lesson plan, students measure their handspan size to determine if one pair or many pairs of genes control that trait.

Young scholars perform experiments to determine the nutritional needs and physical space requirements for slime mold to survive. After formulating hypotheses, they seal the petri dishes and set up the experiment along with two controls....

Students define properties of rectangular prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify the relationship between two and three dimensional objects. They use Cabri technology to graph their figures.

Pupils explore the properties of rectangular prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They use Cabri technology to create polygons and solve problems.

First graders learn how use a ruler to measure common items. In this measurement instructional activity, 1st graders examine the numerical markings on rulers and learn that each number stands for a unit of measure. They measure 5...

Students become weather reporters for the Martian Sun Times newspaper to gather. interpret, and compare current weather information for Mas and Earth. Final articles be posted on-line. There are seven investigations in this unit.

Young scholars work with thermometers to complete problems about temperature. They investigate cooling patterns, how location affects temperature, and what happens when water having different temperature is mixed. They measure...

Students relate the ratio of Pi to the diameter of a circle. In this geometry instructional activity, students investigate the relationship of the chord of the circle the the number Pi. They define ration, chord, circumference and...

Seventh graders investigate the temperature change in open and closed containers. In this earth science lesson, 7th graders relate this lab activity to greenhouse effect. They create a line graph from data collected in the experiment.

Fourth graders investigate musical notes. For this music lesson, 4th graders compose a short song while clapping the rhythm and singing the syllables using the appropriate notes or rests.

Fourth graders examine rice farming. For this rice farming lesson, 4th graders compute how much of the world's rice the US produces. Students gain information about the history of growing rice and how much rice other countries grow as...

Students compose eight measures of music after they practice interpreting time/signature meter.

Fourth graders measure to the nearest centimeter. They work together to create a portrait of themselves with an accurate measurement of their smile to the nearest centimeter. This is a creative way for students to explore centimeters.

In this early childhood units of measurements instructional activity, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems pertaining to centimeters.

Sixth graders explore the basic units and prefixes of the metric system. They select a fairy tale or nursery rhyme to revise and rewrite with blanks where the metric system terminology can be inserted. Students, following given...

In this centimeters and millimeters worksheet, learners learn to use a ruler to measure lines and distances. Students then use the illustrated rulers to measure the lines in centimeters and millimeters.

Students explore the concept of measurement, modelling the increments on a standard ruler using cubes and grid paper. They identify the length of a line to a designated standard unit and measure specified body parts.

Students build a simple astronomical telescope from two lenses and some tubes.

Students explore structural engineering through three design challenges. They examine information about some architectural features that work and those that don't during an earthquake. Students build and test their structure and record...
