High schoolers collect and analyze variable data and understand the concept of electrical power.  In this energy lesson plan students use a spreadsheet to manage their data and create box plots. 

Third graders become familiar with the effects of force through curling.  In this turnip curling lesson, 3rd graders experiment with a turnip curling stone on various surfaces. Students are assess with a new variable and observation...

Students construct their own magnet and wire device. In this inquiry activity, students investigate the factors affecting the strength of magnetic forces. They manipulate different variable to determine their effect.

In this 5th grade math learning exercise, 5th graders solve 10 various types of questions that include place value and prime numbers. First, they find the least common multiple of two numbers. Then, students determine the value of an...

High schoolers conduct an experiment to test Snell's Law using a block of lucite and a ray box. They measure the light rays as they impinge upon the block. Students are also asked to draw the situation of the lab or create a model of the...

Don't throw away those transparency sheets just yet! Young scholars first review inequalities on a number line, then learn about graphing inequalities in the coordinate plane. Finally, they use overhead transparencies to create systems...

Ninth graders investigate the concept of relations and interpret graphs and tables. They analyze given data and look for a pattern to determine if the numbers represent a function. Students practice solving scientific word problems that...

Ninth graders graph linear equations and inequalities in two variables and then, they write equations of lines and find and use the slope and y-intercept of lines. They use linear equations to model real data and define to define the...

Eleventh graders study homogeneous linear systems. In this linear system of equations instructional activity, 11th graders write linear system solutions in parametric vector form. Students also identify the connection between linear...

Students complete problems on normal distribution equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students complete 11 problems out of their text book.

Students use pattern blocks to develop an understanding of algebraic generalization(pattern) in order to write a mathematical equation using algebraic symbols.

Students work together to complete a project on probability. In groups, they solve probability equations based on the formula and scenerio given to them in a PowerPoint presentation. To end the lesson, they take a quiz on each problem...

Young scholars are introduced to the concepts involved in technological designs. In groups, they design and build a technology related item using research to backup why they have chosen that specific design. They experiment by varying...

Students germinate seeds in unflavored gelatin to which liquid house plant food has been added. Students observe and record plant growth in this medium with a variety of variables in a number of experiments.

If your pupils think a catalyst is a list of their cats, then this might be the lesson for you! Young chemists study the effect of temperature, catalysts, concentration, and particle size on reaction rates during four different...

Searching for a relatively interesting way to demonstrate Charles' Law? Here is a lesson in which pupils heat air inside a flask and then cool the flask to quickly cool the air. They make observations about what occurs during the...

Young chemists grow ionic crystals, metallic crystals, and supersaturated crystals in three different lab experiments. Observing these under a microscope allows pupils to compare the various structures. 

Mathematics is all about patterns. Young mathematicians analyze geometric patterns to write algebraic expressions. They use the expressions to predict future stages of the patterns.

Learners use a game to establish the context of solving problems in a systematic and mathematical fashion. They also solve various types of equations to find reasonable solutions.

Once learners realize what direct variation is, they see it's just a type of linear function. The lesson poses a general question that leads to the creation of the y = kx formula. The resource includes discussion prompts and ideas for...

What is a chemist's favorite plant? Stoichiome Tree! Scholars produce hydrogen gas by reacting magnesium with hydrochloric acid. Then they calculate the molar volume of the gas produced before answering assessment questions. 

At some point, everyone has been under pressure—even Dalton! Explore Dalton's law of partial pressures with young chemists as they measure the volume of air extracted from a sample compared to its original volume. Class...

Apply systems of inequalities to a real-world problem. Here, scholars learn to graph solutions to systems of linear inequalities. To finish the lesson, they solve a problem involving burgers and cheeseburgers using a system of inequalities.

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.
