Students research aspects of gardening including nutrition, costs, and soil preparation. They then write a report detailing the planning of the garden and compare costs to buying the items.

Eleventh graders compare the amount of sugar sand present in tree sap. In this environmental science instructional activity, 11th graders measure different tree circumference. They prepare a report and share findings in class.

Students explore what their personal nutritional requirements are.  In this exploratory activity students calculate their total daily energy needs and energy outputs and study how age is related to changing this. 

Students devise a strategy to solve problems that is done in a systematic and mathematical fashion. The finding of the unknown value is the focus of the lesson. To solve linear equations proficiently is the skill of the lesson.

Students attempt a problem that Students has the potential to have more than one solution. Hence the problem is accessible to a wide range of students. The problem is essentially about finding patterns and this is typical of a number of...

First graders investigate the missing numbers on an equation chart in order to practice their addition and subtraction skills. They work with sums up to twenty and use up to twenty objects to work with subtraction equations. They listen...

Students locate and identify the center, foci, vertices, and asymptotes fo hyperbolas. They graph equations involving asymptotes and hyperbolas. Finally, students determine the equation of a hyperbola with a horizontal transverse axis.

Sixth graders apply problem solving strategies to work with a real life situation in which they need to determine the area. They determine the area of chicken runs that are rectangular in shape when give a partial perimeter.

Sixth graders apply knowledge of how to calculate the area and perimeter of triangles. They determine why it is inappropriate to measure the area of land by its perimeter which is done in certain areas of New Guinea. They complete a...

Students determine velocity using the slope of a time distance graph. They investigate a motion cart using a CBR unit and a TI 83 calculator setup. Using the graph generated, they calculate velocity.

Students systemically determine the concept that the waste items placed in a "yes" category are biodegradable and those in the "no" category are not. This activity is a motivating way to introduce a unit on wastes by having students use...

This unit is about making calculations in the real life situations of taxis, hire cars, and cell phones. They find and justify a word formula which represents a given practical situation. Solve simple linear equations such as 2? + 4 = 16.

Ninth graders investigate relationship between the temperature and concentration of dissolved oxygen in water. They examine how pollution and other natural influences can cause the parameters to change. In groups, 9th graders collect...

Students distinguish between possible and impossible graphs of functions, and to learn why some graphs are impossible. They have practiced plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane

Second graders use a number line to practice subtraction.  In this subtraction lesson, 2nd graders use a number line to count backwards.  Students participate in mad math activities and solve problems.

Students study rectangles. In this math lesson, students use numbers, measurements and geometry to draw rectangles of varying sizes.

Students make predictions about the global temperature of the earth and to see how this is dependent upon a number of variables. Students visualize how changing parameters can impact the global temperature of the earth.

Learners investigate the current welfare system in Utah. They research and discuss the different type of programs that are offered. They conduct an analysis of the reports that are provided. The standard of living is also investigated...

Students calculate angular displacement, velocity and acceleration of gyrocopters. In this physics lesson, students compare data taken from 3 different gyrocopters. They explain how differences in construction material affect rates of...

Young scholars describe the different units of measurement. In this space science lesson, students calculate astronomical distances using a scale. They explain the significance of using scientific notation in expressing very small...

Students define what a redox reaction is. In this chemistry lesson plan, students electroplate some wires in the lab. They research the application of electroplating in the real world.

Students research propulsion, graph data, and interpret the results.

High schoolers graph linear and quadratic functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students create graph with specific coordinate points. They use the Ti to visualise and differentiate between the two functions.

Students learn about using decimals and fractions by referring to a 19th century currency table. In this decimals and fractions lesson plan, students discuss converting pounds to coins and how they relate to fractions and decimals.
