Students study how standards are established in Science. They also look at the value of different perspectives with questions about ecological standards. The class creates its own standards for ecology with the help of a survey to obtain...

Students examine the city of Duluth, Minnesota. In groups, they use the internet to discover its current state of urban geography. After their research, they create and plan their own redeveloping of the city. They share their results...

Seventh graders use technology to review cell structure and function. In this cells less, 7th graders review the parts and functions of a cell, and use photography/video and PowerPoint to enhance their explorations.

Students demonstrate to instructor how to add a border and shading to a paragraph. They also insert a section break and create a header different from a previous header. Students design a poster showing characters formatted using the...

Pupils practice graphing a linear equation and a parabolic equation. They work cooperatively to select numbers, including fractions, which they will put into ordered pairs. Students explain their process to the class, discussing what...

Students review balancing chemical equations. In this chemistry lesson, students calculate moles of an unknown substance based on stoichiometric relationships in the balanced equation. They cite applications of stoichiometry in the...

Third graders focus on state birds as they learned absolute location (latitude/longitude) of each state, as well as their relative location (bordering states).

Young scholars predict what computers, games, or products be like in 2030. They think about and design futuristic products.

Students make a circuit on a mystery card. They then use an electrical tester to determine where electricity flows between circles on the card. They will connect wires, bulbs, and a battery to form an electrical tester.

Seventh graders investigate scientific methods to solve problems. They demonstrate creating data tables and graphs. They study the role of a scientist and the importance of safety in a science lab. They distinguish between an...

Students are introduced to detail drawings and the importance of clearly documenting and communicating their designs. They are introduced to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Y14.5 standard, which controls how engineers...

Students will learn about the ongoing issues associated with drought in California and how water conservation can be part of a solution. Students will design a rooftop water catchment system for drought-conscious Ms. Drizzle to install...

Students begin this project by taking an inventory of hand tools at home. They then categorize their tools and make a detailed list in a spreadsheet. After research on tool storage, they will choose materials and a tool board style, then...

ArchKIDecture, A teacher-created site that encourages awareness of human-built environments, provides simple directions for drawing and designing a "dream classroom."

In this task students are asked to combine numerous skills to create a miniature golf hole. Students create a scale drawing of the hole, calculate the area of the hole and determine the percentage of total area used. In addition,...

Students learn and practice how to find the perimeter of a polygonal shape. Using a ruler, they measure model rooms made of construction paper walls. They learn about other tools, such as a robot, that can help them take measurements....

In this instructional activity, students will estimate several dimensions of circles in everyday objects. Students will use the metric and customary systems for their estimations. This lesson plan was created by exemplary Alabama Math...

Students will use their knowledge of scale factor to enlarge a picture to scale. They will then use PhotoStory to create a collage of their pictures. This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in Math and Science...

These blueprints were created by a 5th/6th grade student from the Shutesbury Elementary School in Shutesbury, Massachusetts, as part of a Learning expedition on Architecture.The blueprints correspond to a character file (CF) created by...
