Students take part in various activities ranging from creating a human clock, to small group problem solving to reinforce the concept of telling time accurately to five minutes on an analog clock.

First graders use their senses to formulate questions and make predictions to determine what is in the "Wonder Bag". They hold pieces of ice and examine while listing descriptors on a chart and then take their own temperature using an...

Students study the effects of deforestation. In this environmental lesson, students view a PowerPoint slideshow about the importance of trees. Students read The Lorax and discuss what the characters represent in our society.

Second graders study the similarities and differences of the seventeen species of penguins. They investigate habitats and how these habitats are suited to each species characteristics. They see how animals adapt to their environments.

Students listen to a read aloud of Shel Silverstein's, The Little Blue Engine. They design and build a Lego train that climbs a three foot incline, one foot at a time. They draw and write about their design.

Students working in small groups will build tractors. They must design a tractor that is able to pull various weights.

Students examine and discuss Newton's Laws and discover his contribution to physics. In groups, they participate in an experiment in which they much apply the Laws to the world around them. They describe contact and conservative forces...

Students engage in a study using technology in order to attempt the comprehension of using perimeter and area. They use powerpoint to solve different problems. This helps to keep learners engaged in the process of practice and...

Students create and develop a travel mug. They create visuals and a three dimensional infomercial. They apply an engineering design and demonstrate knowledge of thermodynamics involved in heat transfer. They illustrate Newton's Law of...

Students research the nutritional value of fast food. They assess which fast foods are best and worst to eat. They organize their data into tables and graphs and explain their findings to other students.

Students work together to identify the accuracy of sundials. They track the position of the sun and create a shadow plot. They discover the difference between real time and clock time.

Third graders participate in a case study and use their problem solving skills to address the solution to a given situation. They consider how to survive in a foreign country, make economic decisions, and determine wise decisions for...

Students list four ways to identify trees. For this tree identification instructional activity, students use tree identification techniques such as leafs, bark, wood grain, soil type, and climate to create tables and graphs.

Students collect information and use a line to represent it. In this algebra lesson plan, students investigate real world data to see if it makes a line. They graph the line comparing the relationship of the x axis with that of...

Students practice finding the sums of two-one digit numbers. In this addition lesson plan, students also record facts onto an addition chart.

Students compare a Thanksgiving feast of today to the Thanksgiving feast of 1621. They analyze information to write a Rebus story about a Thanksgiving feast of today of the Thanksgiving feast of 1621. Pupils describe a typical...

Students design and conduct and experiment on algae, for a two week period, to answer the question "In your investigation, how does changing one factor affect the growth of organisms?"

Young scholars explain that heat energy in a material consists of the disordered motions of its atoms or molecules. They know and explain that transformations of energy usually transform some energy into the form of heat, which...

Students use the Live Access Server (LAS) to form maps and a numerical text file of snow cover for each continent on a particular date. They analyze the data for each map and corresponding text file to determine an estimate of snow cover...

Learners find locations based upon their latitude and longitude coordinates. In this latitude and longitude lesson, students locate points on a grid and learn how to use an astrolabe.

Students investigate the relationship between angles of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of right and non-right triangles. They differentiate between vertical and supplementary angles.

High schoolers collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.

Students observe a pendulum and graph their observation. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calcualtor to graph the motion the pendulum makes. They analyze the graph and make predictions.

Third graders view a demonstration of a teeter totter as a basis for assessing pre-knowledge of a lever. They create a KwL chart. Students work in small groups to conduct a variety of experiments. The first requires students to tie books...
