Students conduct an ecological assessment of a small area on school property and apply findings to the greater area. They inventory the plant and animal population of a sample area and extrapolate results to a larger area.

Students examine insects and identify physical characteristics of insects. They perform observations of insects, then use a worksheet imbedded in this plan to answer questions about them.

In this interactive lesson, young scholars review attributes of equilateral polygons. They are introduced to the concept of a tessellation. Using protractors and pre-cut shapes, students arrange a variety of tiles to create...

Students identify the properties of solids and polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the different measurements of a triangle. They use congruence parts and theorem to prove their answer.

Young scholars explain the properties of copper as a material for making tools and explain the properties of different chisel points. They gain practice taking notes on qualitative and quantitative data.

Students simplify rational expressions. In this algebra lesson, students solve rational equations using multiplication and division. They apply properties of exponents and negative exponents to solve the problems.

Students solve real life situation using the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the length, midpoint and slope of segments. They solve word problems using properties of square roots.

Students solve and graph inequalities involving absolute value. They discuss and identify the basic properties of inequalities, and solve basic examples.

Students view demonstrations that illustrate the surface tension of water. In this properties of water lesson, students observe demonstrations that show how water exhibits surface tension. They explain how the demonstration shows surface...

Students are introduced to the notion of surface area and volume. Students review surface area and volume by finding the area of a two-dimensional shape. They practice using the computer to create different surface area shapes.

Students solve problems using fractals. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify properties of fractals. They find patterns in their surroundings and relate it to the real world and math.

Students are introduced to the notion of a complex number and function iteration in order to motivate the discussion of Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set.

Students identify the properties of quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students find the vertex and intercepts of a parabola. They factor quadratics and identify the zeros of the equations.

Student scientists investigate triangle structures. In this building lesson plan, students explore how to design triangle braces in the construction of structures in order to build a stronger base.

Little ones are led through a series of rhythmic songs and chants while they march, clap, and use their tummies as percussive instruments. They work on singing in pitch, chunking, and keeping a steady beat. 

Students explore elements by analyzing everyday objects and materials in class. In this carbon instructional activity, students define several vocabulary terms such as carbon dioxide, hydrocarbon, and carbonate. Students view a group of...

Scholars view the video, "Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land," and discuss examples in nature which have proportions of the golden ratio. They measure and record different body lengths from a worksheet and convert the ratios to equivalent...

Salad dressings use a variety of different ingredients, but it's important to have a healthy balance of greens to create a delicious mix. Young chefs examine five types of herbs including chives, basil, dill, parsley, and thyme to...

Students use equations to represent practical situations. They solve linear equations and quadratic equations. The use of problem solving strategies is also developed.

Students investigate cloud formation. In this weather instructional activity, students examine how clouds are formed. Students participate in experiments that model how water vapor in the air works.
