The Butterfly Project
In this project learning exercise, students use rubber bands to enlarge pictures of butterflies found at the Butterflies of Illinois website.
Curated OER
Distance Makes a Difference
Students create a clay model of the Sun and Earth. In this space science lesson, students explain how distance affects the appearance of objects. They write a poem or riddle about the Sun in their journal.
Curated OER
Mapping A Stream
Students participate in mapping an actual waterway. They include reach lengths, transects, compass reading, and scale determinations. They include windfalls, plant cover, types of streambed composition, and landmarks such as trees and...
Curated OER
Parks Design Project
Students explore two dimensional geometric figures. They explore the relationships and measurements of geometric figures. Students apply proportion and scaling. They design a city park for students and teenagers.
Curated OER
Surface Area and Volume of a Cube
Students explore finding the surface area and volume of cubes and cylinders. They construct similar three-dimensional figures from a two-dimensional drawing. Students derive the formula for volume and surface area through examination...
Curated OER
House Dimensions
Fourth graders measure the perimeters of several different rooms. They convert the measurements using ratios that allow them to draw the rooms to scale on paper. They draw the dimensions of a house to scale. They measure length to the...

May We Present Planet Earth?
Students draw a map to scale. They illustrate knowledge of how to use DOGS TAILS on a map. Students identify the main parts of a map. They identify and illustrate the major features necessary for sustaining a quality of life for a society.
Curated OER
Enlarged Pastel Portraits
Students select a person whom they admired and get a picture of that person. Then they go through a lesson on creating and using grids. They learned how to properly use a grid to increase the scale when they create a drawing.
Curated OER
Creating a Map
Third graders examine the process of creating an accurate map, and create a map of their playground. They identify what objects are on their playground, and discuss what is found on a map. Students then draw a map of their playground...
Curated OER
Walking the Plank
Eighth graders experiment with a bathroom scale, books and a plank to determine how weight readings change as distance is applied. They graph and interpret the results.
