Students rotate through work stations where they compute problems of theoretical and experimental probability. In this probability lesson plan, students use simulations of a lottery system.

Students create a water filter according to given criteria. I this chemistry lesson plan, students evaluate the importance of water in their lives. They develop a book or brochure on the water treatment process.

Students investigate the concepts of energy conversion and conservation. They research the history of energy conversions into electrical energy. They design experiments in order to replicate a conversion of energy into electricity.

Students investigate various concepts related to weather. They conduct historical research to see how the study of weather originated and the application of the latest technologies in the field. Students summarize the information with...

Students identify the variables involved in the motion of a pendulum. In groups, they research how each different variable is related to the energy the pendulum produces. They share their results with the class and compare them with...

Students identify ways that light can travel and why. In groups, they develop an experiment to show that light can travel because it is a form of energy. They use this information and apply it to other forms of energy to end the lesson.

Students use data collected by an astronomer to determine the relationship between the time it takes the planet to orbit the sun and the average radius of the planet's orbit around the sun. Students use trial and error to find the...

Students listen as the teacher introduces Newton's early discovery of the diffraction of light. They use multiple sources of light (fluorescent, incandescent, sunlight, etc) to bend the light. They first use a prism then a diffraction...

First graders discuss with the teacher if everything will float in water. They observe a marble and determine whether it will float making predictions as a class. After observing the results, they discover that liquids exert an upward...

Students compare the structure and functions of the state government of South Carolina and the provincial government of Quebec. They examine the role of political parties and differing expressions of democracy and make a...

Pupils evaluate typical auto shop sectons and layout. They identify safety hazards in the auto shop. Students examine measures to prevent common shop accidents. They discuss general safety rules for the auto shop. Pupils identify various...

Students describe how blood flows through the heart and the anatomy of the aortic valve. They examine the condition of aortic stenosis and create diagrams of the condition in the heart. They complete experiments using the model they...

Second graders rediscover cause and effect situations using the story The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister. They gain an understanding of how one thing leads to another.

Eighth graders complete Calculator Explorations, Problem -solving, and the Discussion topic as outlined in the worksheet from Lola May's Teaching Math - Extending the meaning of multiplication and division.

Learners discover how to integrate file management systems on Web servers into the classroom. In addition to maintaining digital portfolios, they develop various Internet functions such as authoring directly onto an Internet domain.

High schoolers are introduced to the concept of motion. In groups, they practice calculating the rate, time, and distance of various objects on a variety of surfaces. To end the lesson, they apply the same principles to those objects...

Pupils explore expected value, are introduced to the concept of varying payoffs, and have used a computer simulation of a "real world" example where expected value is used

Pupils analyze inscribed angles and intercepted arcs and explore the relationships between the two. They investigate the properties of angles, arcs, chords, tangents, and secants to solve problems involving circles.

Students experiment with several chaotic simulation, they build a working definition of chaos. Students reinforce their knowledge of basic probability and percents. They are reminded of previous knowledge that is pertinent to this...

Young scholars investigate the forces of compression, tension and torque on common birthday balloons.

Students identify and use the elements of the scientific inquiry to solve problems. They explain concepts about the structure and properties of matter. Pupils write an explanation of polymers and how the characteristic of polymers...

In this daily routines instructional activity, students examine 7 clocks. Next to each clock there is a phrase about what will happen at that time of day, such as "have dinner." Students apparently write the time and activity in a...

Students explore and complete a variety of activities demonstration probability. They make observations about the results of the activities. Students complete and discuss conditional probability. Also, students draw conclusions about...

Students respond with memorized answers to questions that use familiar language. They ask basic memorized questions and imitate sounds and words with age- and stage- appropriate pronunciation. They Use the appropriate interpersonal...
