Students explore the challenges of creating a silhouette. In this silhouette lesson, students learn to produce a silhouette from a projected image. Students compare and contrast the making of a silhouette to a drawing or painting.

High schoolers plot particle sizes of common airborne materials on a log scale. They read an article on particle size and its relationship to the ability to pass through the lungs, into the bloodstream, and eventually into the cells...

Have your class draw the plans and design a structure. Learners discuss and investigate the variables in the stability of a 2D and 3D model. They also consider how to add a circuit to the design. Afterwards, they present their work.

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”  Readers of The Stranger rate Mersault’s moral development (or lack thereof) using Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development scale. Using...

High schoolers conduct an experiment using the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen. After pairs balance the chemical equation for making water, they mix different ratios of hydrogen and oxygen in a chemical reaction. Classmates...

Graphing paper, pencil, ruler, protractor, and compass, all get replaced or supplemented with this dynamic geometry application. Here, you can create, move, and scale many different shapes, as well as, explore and change their properties...

Drawing from a scenario of the history of the penny, learners write and solve a system of linear equations from a context.

Anger can creep inside and build up in all of us. Prepare your youngsters for this feeling by reading the story of Jace Kelly through this series of storytelling printables, and discover the strategies he would eventually...

Students draw a ship to scale, and calculate the real life size. They show that measurements on the drawingsare annotated with the distances reported in inches (fractions and decimals), and their real-world equivalents

Students design a ship. They calculate square footage and draw their ship to scale. They build models of their ships.

Learners experiment with scale to solve a problem presented in a video clip. They determine the correct size to use when constructing a model and evaluate the use of proportions in real life applications.

Second graders read the rules of how they can balance the scale by placing beans in the square, circle, and the triangle. Next, they balance 12 beans using the scale and then try to balance it with 15 beans, and then 18 beans. They then...

Learners are challenged to create optical illusions using using cut-outs. The activity provokes thoughtful discussion about scale.

Students explore the concept of scale and ratio.  In this scale and ratio lesson, students work in groups to measure a given space such as a hallway, office, or gym.  Students measure their area using a meter stick. ...

In this angles worksheet, students measure angles to make triangles and cut them out to make a Christmas tree. Students draw and cut 5 triangles to make their tree.

Students use distances on a map to draw a route, give directions, and follow directions. In this map lesson plan, students explain their route and directions orally.

In this probability worksheet, students draw out and fill in a probability scale of the probability of 6 scenarios happening, write down some events that only have 2 outcomes, choose 1 of the outcomes and put it on a probability scale.

In this moon activity, students read the book The Moon Book and list facts about the moon and draw eclipses. Students list 10 facts and draw 3 kinds of eclipses.

Students classify the planets in the solar system, study planetary objects, and measure the relative distance between planets. In this solar system lesson, students use toilet paper to complete a scale model of the distance between the...

Middle schoolers analyze the stellar magnitude scale. For this stellar magnitude lesson, students examine the stellar magnitude scale. Middle schoolers predict the Sun's magnitude from various planets.
