Third graders add merchandise up to find total cost and line up numbers correctly to the decimal point.

Students find the center, foci, vertices, and asymptotes of hyperbolas. They graph hyperbolas and determine the equation of a hyperbola with a horizontal transverse axis. They derive general coordinates for the foci of a hyperbola with a...

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.

Students investigate the basic principles of air pressure.  In this experimental lesson students use materials to create several different experiments that help to explain air pressure and friction.

Learners practice graphing quadratic equations to find the vertex of quadratic functions. They determine if the graph opens upward or downward as well as convert quadratic equations to vertex form from polynomial form. A lab version is...

Young scholars practice graphing quadratic equations. They work to solve and equation involving finding the vertex using given formulas. Once their points have been graphed, students determine the direction in which the angle opens....

Young scholars are introduced to several traditional Japanese sports and games. Students organize an 'Undokai' - a sports day in which they compete in teams.

Pupils determine the center of percussion and the center of mass for a baseball bat.  In this projective motion lesson students demonstrate the relationship between the position of the baseball bat and when its in the position in...

In this space science worksheet, students complete 5 multiple choice questions pertaining to the planets and other space bodies. This is an online interactive quiz. Prior knowledge is assumed.

Students explore physical fitness by incorporating a class game into their sport activities. In this physical education lesson, students draw cards in a similar style to the game Candyland, except these cards instruct the students to...

In this making comparisons worksheet, students look at the 3 sets of pictures that depict objects of different sizes and write 6 sentences each to compare the items. Students use the clues in parentheses. Note: There are no examples and...

Students practice using paddles to hit objects. In this striking skills lesson, students use wooden paddles to round up balloon farm animals without touching the balloons with their hands.

Students participate in a hands-on demonstration of the communication between the EUVE satellite and a scientist on Earth.

Students examine stars and constellations in the night sky. They complete a KWL chart and calculate the mass of stars. They also discuss how a star is formed.

Students are introduced to the problem. They brainstorm ideas for approaching the problem and keeping track of what has been done. Students work on the problem in pairs to discover what strategies might help to find the answer.

Fifth graders define the meaning of similar and congruent using concrete objects. They make similar and congruent figures using geoboards. They draw their figures on dot paper, and color their designs.

Sixth graders construct a graph to demonstration information that they've learned about the solary system. They also write or illustrate a sonar or lunar eclipse.

First graders identify basic shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle) and describes the attributes of each. They use magazines to find examples of each shape, and then make a collage.

Students, in groups, have 2 hoops set up about 8-10 feet apart and across from each other. Each group tries to get as many darts to land inside the hoops as possible in the time limit.

Students observe how different density soils and rocks behave in wind and in water. They make predictions and careful observations as they explore sediment transport and sediment rates in streams and rivers.

Students complete a hands on activity to determine how scientists use indirect observations to define problems that are not directly measurable. They complete an associate student handout.

Students discuss the topic of streamflow and how it occurs. They take measurements and analyze them. They interpret data and create their own charts and graphs.
