Pupils explore the field of nanotechnology by examining magnetic field strength in ferrofluids. They use probes attached to a computer program to determine the relationship between magnetic field strength and magnetic field lines.

Students examine geometric shapes. In this geometric shape lesson plan, students examine how geometric shapes flip, turn, and slide to create a pattern. Students analyze the role that quilts played in helping slaves escape to freedom. ...

In this computation with real and complex numbers worksheet, students use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to solve 26 problems with complex numbers to win a bingo game.

Students explain basic principles of aeronautics such as gravity and lift. In this How Things Fly lesson plan, students visit the interactive, hands-on How Things Fly gallery at the Smithsonian. Students perform three experiments that...

Students explore the concept of geometric shapes. In this geometric shape lesson, students play bingo to review geometric shapes. Students identify the shape being described by the teacher and put a marker on their bingo card.

Students create a scrapbook. In this geometry lesson, students use digital cameras to take pictures of geometrical concepts. Students use the pictures to create a "Geotown" scrapbook.

Students solve a story problem about how many trees can be planted in a given area. Using a map, they gather information about the size of the area and the dimensions of an acre. They use a specific equation to determine the area of...

Pupils investigate the mysteries of air. In this science lesson, students participate in hands-on activities that require them to use the scientific inquiry model to study air.

Students explore how loudness is measured. They identify the decibel scale and explain the amplitude of the sound wave.

Tenth graders investigate three different sets of data that relate temperature to another variable in the physical world. These illustrate linear, inverse and exponential relationships.

Second graders create rocks using colored paper to represent the various minerals. After reviewing the various minerals contained in rock, they cut pieces of scrap paper and paste them on handouts. Finally, 2nd graders give their rocks...

Learners create a classroom quilt that illustrates the many unique ways that students use math skills.

Learners sort, classify, and write about how they sort a variety of shells.

Young scholars participate in a qualitative discussion of the distinction between weight and mass, followed by a description of astronaut mass measurements in a zero-g environment.

Sixth graders compare and contrast two-dimensional shapes to three-dimensional shapes. After watching a demonstration, they make their own shapes using nets printed on paper. To end the instructional activity, they use the shapes they...

For this function worksheet, students complete a variety of problems. They explore logarithms, find the y-intercept, identify the y-intercept, and complete distance problems. This seven-page worksheet contains 30 problems.

Sixth graders identify various angles by using pattern blocks. In this measurement lesson, 6th graders find out how many degrees are in each of the different angles of the various pattern blocks.
