Students understand how they can incorporate dietary guidelines in their daily life.  In this investigative activity students set dietary goals and incorporate an activity to learn how to create a new seed variety while studying...

Pupils complete a graphing activity to learn about fruits and vegetables as well as their nutritional qualities. For this fruits and vegetables lesson, students complete a series of activities that help teach them about the health...

From the apple on your desk and the coffee cup in your hand, to the cabinets along the classroom wall, basic three-dimensional shapes are found everywhere in the world around us. Introduce young mathematicians to the these common figures...

Why is calcium good for the body? Where is it stored? Young chefs discover the importance of calcium and review a list of foods that are rich in the material. They then make delicious smoothies high in calcium! Teaching kids how to...

How do you get a theorem named after you? Euler knows what it takes! The third lesson of five asks pupils to use an interactive activity to compare the faces, vertices, and edges of seven different three-dimensional solids. They use...

Students make healthy choices. In this healthy living mini-unit, students make healthy lifestyle choices through hands-on activities, songs and movement. This mini-unit includes lessons on the food pyramid, fruits, vegetable, and staying...

Students construct the Metric Pyramid from the handout. They use the Metric Pyramid to convert from standard to metric measure and vice versa. They compute their own Body Mass Index.

Students examine the food pyramid. In this health/math lesson students make biscuits. Students are assigned a group to measure out ingredients. Students also discuss which part of the food pyramid biscuits fall into and the nutritional...

Three-dimensional shapes can be categorized based on their attributes, and scholars learn more about six figures through this sorting activity. They examine six shapes: sphere, cylinder, cone, cube, prism, and pyramid....

Students are able to identify the characteristics of a variety of graphs (i.e. bar graph, line graph, pie graph, scatter plot, population pyramids, etc.) They recognize how the type of data to be presented plays a role in choosing the...

Students explore two-dimensional and solid shapes. In this shapes and patterns geometry lesson, students work with a partner to create identifiable objects using tangrams. Students describe the attributes of their shape and their partner...

Fourth graders explore healthy habits by completing caloric measurement activities. In this food choice lesson, 4th graders discuss what types of foods give you protein or fat and utilize a food chart to measure caloric intake. Students...

Students explore the volume and surface area of three dimensional figures. Through the use of video, students discover three dimensional shapes, their uses in real-life applications, and methods used to calculate their volume and surface...

Fourth graders examine the properties of geometric solids. Given geometric figures, they brainstorm observations. In groups, 4th graders identify solids and discuss the physical properties. Each student creates a Venn diagram and...

Students work together to examine inclined planes. They create a plan to raise rocks to build pyramids. They discover the changes that occur when the angle is increased or decreased.

Second graders understand the appropriate sizes for food portions. In this food groups lesson, 2nd graders create and measure a meal using correct portion sizes and correct measurements.

Compare two- and three-dimensional shapes and construct three dimensional models from two-dimensional shapes. Diagram the shapes and reflect about the process in writing.

Students create scale drawings, and ultimately scale models, of real-world objects in this Math lesson plan about ratios, proportion, scaling factors, and cross products. The lesson plan includes ideas for cross-curricular extensions...

Students investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.
