Students solve equations and label it as a function or not. In this algebra lesson, students make a table of values and graph their equation. They identify the domain and range of each graph.

Students participate in a webquest about the plants and animals that inhabit an estuary. They role play as environmentalists researching this habitat and present the results of their research in a creative way.

Students practice representing problems found in the real world in terms that can be translated into mathematical expressions. The situations are represented in tables and graphs by students.

Students compare NASA satellite data observations with student surface measurements of snow cover and temperature. They practice data collection, data correlations, and making scientific predictions.

Middle schoolers develop procedures to explore the behavior of fish.  In this scientific experiment lesson plan students from a hypothesis, write a question, identify different variables and controls in their experiment. 

Learners investigate the results of different propulsion methods. In this propulsion lesson, students measure the distance a test toy car goes using different types of propulsion. They record the distances in data tables before...

Fourth graders are introduced to the concept of the seasonal round and how folklife traditions vary from season to season. They begin charting dates of personal interest on seasonal round calendars by starting with birthdays. Students...

Students in a teacher education program use a jigsaw method to identify the six areas of language arts to be taught in an early childhood classroom. They describe their vision of a literacy rich environment and practices uses a KWL...

Students calculate whether or not a mole of M&M's fill their high school. They practice factor-labeling, define a mole, and calculate the number of cubic feet per mole of M&M's. To answer the question they measure and calculate...

Students practice using algebra to be applied to real world situational problems. The key concepts of translation of language to algebraic expressions is covered. They also look in depth at relationships between different quantities.

Students think about what kinds of clothing they are currently wearing and then think about why they are wearing these particular articles of clothing. They write what they already know about seasons and generate questions about what...

Students consider the concept of scale models. In this scale lesson, students compare the sizes of various every day toys to the sizes of the larger objects they represent.

Students examine housing for the elderly in Canada. In this sociology lesson, students analyze Canadian Census data to find out what type of housing seniors of the country live in.

Students investigate transformation on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students identify pairs of coordinates and their location on the grid. They perform rotation and reflection of each polygon.

Students retrieve data on the number of international tourists to Canada, analyzing the seasonal patterns and long-term trends for each region in Canada. They retrieve statistical data from E-STAT; and explain the effect of seasonal...

Second graders create a Geo-Folder based on geometric terms and concepts. They make a Table of Contents that guides them through the process of assembling a folder of completed activities.

Students observe examples and discuss how to interpret them. They then brainstorm examples of possible questions students could use to create a table. They take time to formulate a question and collect data.

Second graders work on the problem with a partner. They examine what they are supposed to be doing. They share the students's solutions making sure than they are looking for patterns along the diagonals.

Third graders identify how to use keywords in resources. In this using keywords lesson, 3rd graders practice using keywords from a table of contents.  Students also formulate questions for peers using keywords from orgainzers.
