Students practice using their new vocabulary word by creating an original iMovie project based on that word.

Ask elementary students to explore shapes in everyday objects. They will discuss the elements of design and describe the shapes they see in visual images. Students will then design and "build" a new 3D shape. Finally they will show and...

Second graders investigate tall tales. In this literature lesson, 2nd graders complete a story element worksheet based upon the tall tale of Paul Bunyan. Students create a PowerPoint presentation about a tall tale.

Seventh graders discover the similarities and differences between cities, towns, and rural communities. Using a Neighborhood map Machine, they create a Venn diagram and map of their own community. Students build a 3-D representation of...

Students analyze, critique, and evaluate information from various sources and learn about the design process. In this design lesson, students critique work submitted to People's Design Award and create a design of their own to present to...

Learners investigate the Napoleon triangle theory. In this polygon lesson, students  differentiate between the boundary points, interior and lattice point of a polygon. They apply concepts of equilateral triangles to solve...

Student work in design teams to research robots, create a drawing of a robot they want to make, build a prototype of their robot, present their prototype and research, and write a descriptive paragraph about their creation.

Students participate in an after school program that promotes concern for others, recognizing differences, accepting differences, leadership roles, mentoring, self-responsibility and personal safety. They explore the diversity of their...

Students complete a variety of activities related to the book "Charlotte's Web" by E.B. White. They create a comic strip based on the characters, setting, and plot of the story, and examine the author's writing process. In small groups...

Students participate in an after school program that promotes accepting differences, self-motivation, teamwork, leadership roles, personal safety and self-responsibility, family unity and recognizing the characteristics of good...

Students conduct research on the activity of Mammoth Mountain, a volcano in California. They role-play as townspeople whose lives and livelihoods are endangered by an active volcano that may or may not erupt in the near future. They...

Students understand the purpose of an aquifer. In this aquifer and groundwater lesson, students build a model aquifer find its relationship to water usage. Students record observations as they build the layers of the aquifer.

Second graders create a bar graph to pictorically represent the data collected from a survey of students. They use Excel to electronically create the graphs and data tallies. They then interpret their data using sentences to explain.

Young scholars trace shadows. In this light and shadows lesson, students conduct an experiment to determine what a shadow is and what is necessary to make a shadow. Young scholars observe how shadows change as well as write and draw...

Students observe biotic and abiotic things participating in an observational walk outside the school. They create a collage using pictures of biotic and abiotic items.

Pupils write a headline that captures the most important aspects of the People's Design Award. In this design lesson plan, students are introduced to The People's Design Award and collaborate to create a headline for a newspaper article....

Learners identify the properties and theorems of triangles. In this geometry lesson plan, students construct angle bisectors using a compass and straight edge. They identify triangular similarity and congruency.

Students investigate Menelaus Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the area of polygons. They differentiate between boundaries point, interior points and area of lattice points.

Students prove and use Ceva's Theorem to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students analyze polygons for patterns and calculate the area of each shape. They relate polygons to the real world.

High schoolers, in groups, conduct research about a specific disorder of the brain, create a character study of a person with that brain disorder, and then present the information to the rest of the class.

Students factor trinomials using specific steps. In this algebra lesson, students factor polynomials following the steps on a smart lesson. They review important vocabulary to help with solving the problems.
