Students will work in small groups to gather information about the geography, history, economy, climate, culture, and other aspects of life on the island of Eleuthera. Lesson contains adaptations for all levels.

Students review what they already know about DNA. After reading an article, they discover a new technique to map the course of evolution. In groups, they create ways to present this material to younger children and research DNA's uses.

Learners determine what factors identify a country's political borders. After reading an article, they investigate questions surrounding the Great Rift Valley. On a map, they trace the valley from Asia through Africa and research the...

Fifth graders examine the function of the lungs and create a model of the lungs. Using a plastic cup, drinking straw, plastic bag, small balloon, and a rubber band, they follow step-by-step directions to construct simulated lungs. ...

Students are able to use the Internet to conduct research. They research Mexican culture and traditions. Students compare and contrast Mexican and U.S. food and clothing. They convert United States currency to Mexican pesos. Students...

Students determine the relationship between bone length and height. In groups, they are told the race and gender of the individual and discuss how this affects height. They measure the lengths of the bones in metric measurements and...

Young scholars create a model of the inner ear. In this hearing lesson plan, students follow a series of directions to build a working model of the inner ear, then observe how the parts react to a variety of sounds.

Students examine where trigonometry exists outside the classroom. In this trigonometry lesson, students create trigonometric functions to match the data provided and to solve word problems relating to the real world.

Students observe an experiment.  In this science lesson, students watch an experiment where baking soda and vinegar are used to blow up a balloon.  Students answer comprehension questions about the experiment.

Third graders discover the properties of electromagnets through experiments. In this electromagnet properties lesson, 3rd graders complete six tasks with an elctromagnet.  Students recognize that the wires will heat up when...

Students examine state rights and the commerce clause. In this Supreme Court lesson, students examine primary documents from Gibbons v. Ogden and discuss the implications of the decision.

Students graph coordinate points to create a picture of Snoopy. In this coordinate point lesson, students read a book and learn about Rene Descartes' invention, the coordinate grid.  Students graph a surprise picture on...

Students explore force and motion through a series of experiments. In this physics instructional activity, students create and interpret speed graphs. They build an electromagnet and explain the factors affecting its strength.

Students extract DNA from split peas. In this biology instructional activity, students research how chromatin form into chromosomes. They draw the stages and present their work in class.

Students practice fitness components at the beginning of class.

Students discuss the history of the snowshoe. They wear snowshoes to experience how Aboriginal people used snowshoes. Students simulate a hunting trip. They walk a course, in snowshoes, collecting information on the course and recording...

Students conduct an experiment with balloons and skewers. They speculate the reasons for the balloon's reactions to the skewers and write about their observations.

Third graders use eye-hand and feet-hand coordination to perform the tennis forehand.

Fifth graders demonstrate proper kicking technique as it is used in soccer. They practice kicking with different parts of the foot and participate in a kicking relay.

Students create visuals of the effect of a spring scale. In this algebra lesson, students use the navigator to graph the effects created by a spring scale. They draw conclusion from the graph.

Students work in teams to perform a relay race. In this relay lesson plan, students throw a bean bag to one another after they are done racing, and the first team to have all 8 players done wins the relay.

High schoolers examine the effects of a stimulus on a reflex by changing the strength or force at which the stimulus is applied. Students chart and record data of the lab using video tape.

Students gain an understanding of the respiratory system. In this biology lesson plan, students demonstrate how air enters and leaves the lungs, and explore the relationship between breathing rate and exercise.

Students practice a variety of striking skills: "sweeping" the ball, passing to partners, and striking at a target. They review and address safety concerns with the use of a long-handled implement/stick and demonstrate how to hold the...
