Students select a severe weather pattern of interest (tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, lightning, hail, and thunderstorms) and research these patterns to collect data for a report they write in the next lesson.

Students interpret the synoptic code. They construct a thermoscreen with an anemometer. Students identify different types of clouds and understand and read barometric pressure. Students predict weather pattern as they apply to fronts.

By learning to select the best representation for three meal plans, students compare three meal plans to determine the best choice. Data for the meal plans is sorted on a table, as an algebraic equation, and graphed on a coordinate grid....

Students analyze, create, and record repeating patterns. In this geometry lesson, students create shapes using patterns and keep track of the different shapes. They incorporate transformation and reflections into their patterns.

Students design and create a worm and worm free compost tanks for observation of decay in ecosystems. They make predictions, care, and revist tanks using their journals for observation and data collection.

Based on the rate of melting observed from 2003-2007 in Greenland, it would take less than 10 minutes to fill the Dallas Cowboys' Stadium. The 17th lesson in a series of 21 has scholars use the ICESat data to understand the ice mass...

Students explore perimeter and area of rectangles. In this rectangular lesson, students use tiles to discover the formulas for perimeter and area. Students solve for area.

Students discuss and create their own patterns. They practice and improve on making patterns of their own using red, white, and blue paper for a national theme. The symbols are based on what the teacher picks for the class.

Students consider the habits of the monarch butterfly and predict the path it take as it migrates in the spring.

Students describe a wide variety of patterns. They extend a wide variety of patterns. Students write rules for a wide variety of patterns. Students represent, analyze, and generalize a variety of patterns with tables, graphs, and words.

Students make patterns. In this early sequencing lesson, students observe and state a pattern when they see one. The teacher begins be using students to demonstrate a pattern with half of the children standing and every other child sitting.

Third graders develop a pattern using bean bags. They could kick the bean bag in the air with their left leg a certain number of times, etc. They work in pairs and trade off completely the patterns with one another.

Fifth graders explore patterns. In groups, 5th graders participate in a "Pasta Pattern" activity. Given a bag of pasta, classmates sort pasta by shapes. They use pasta pieces to model different patterns. Students complete a bean...

First graders use manipulatives to complete and extend patterns. In this patterns lesson, 1st graders complete a pattern with a missing element, extend a pattern, and sort objects by characteristics.

Students discover patterns and write conjectures relating to perimeters and polygons. Working in cooperative learning groups, they use manipulatives and graphic organizers to solve problems then answer a series of questions in which they...

In this number patterns and sequences worksheets, students complete activities for number patterns and sequences including Fibonacci's Sequence, lines, regular polygons, and towers. Students complete 15 problems.

Students find the missing cookies. For this language arts lesson, students solve the mystery of who is taking the cookies from the cookie jar. Students are read several books with the same mystery of cookies being taken from the jar.

Students count the number of varves (annual layers of sediment) in shale billets, taken from the Green River Formation in Wyoming. The count is then extended to reflect the entire 260 meters of sediments where the billets originated.

Young scholars review basic weather concepts and terminology, and explore weather modeling tools.

Five days of lessons develop number sense and counting patterns, including odd and even numbers, 5s and 10s, doubles, and ways to make 10. Each session opens with fun finger play to reinforce counting and reasoning about numbers. Various...

Learn about patterns in residual plots with an informative math lesson. Two examples make connections between the appearance of a residual plot and whether a linear model is the best model apparent. The problem set and exit ticket...

Playing with matches (unlit, of course) becomes an engaging learning experience in this fun instructional unit. Teach pupils how to apply properties of exponential functions to solve problems. They differentiate between quadratic and...

Learners explore scatter plots. In this linear regression lesson, groups of pupils graph scatter plots and then find the line of best fit. They identify outliers and explain the correlation. Each group summarizes and shares their...

Here is part two of a two-part lesson in which scholars investigate the changing states of water—liquid, solid, and gas—and how energy from heat changes its molecules. With grand conversation, two demonstrations, and one hands-on...
