Students determine if the angle of light bombardment is a factor in heat absorption. They correlate these findings to the tilt of the Earth and the seasons. Students fold a pice of black construction paper in half, lengthwise. They tape...

Students practice identifying fractional parts represented in pictures and phrases. In this fraction lesson plan, students determine the proportion represented by common time and money phrases such as "3 hours in a day". Students match...

Students predict how changing the pendulum components affect its period. In this physics activity, students calculate the period using different masses. They analyze lab result and complete assigned worksheet.

Learners research the animals at SeaWorld and then relate the info they have found into various types of graphs; line, circle and bar. This lesson combines math and science nicely. They access a website imbedded in this plan to do their...

Students conduct an experiment using soil and shoeboxes to explore factors controlling and affecting the slope of a hillside. They analyze angles, surfaces, etc. to gain an understanding of instability of slopes.

Students explore geo-political and economic contexts for the European Renaissance journeys of exploration, including those of Columbus, create cartographic symbols, and add those symbols to a print-out of Ptolemy's map.

Students investigate the angle of light and how it faces the earth. They conduct a series of investigations with the following two objectives. Students determine if the angle of light is a factor in the absorption of heat. They correlate...

Ninth graders explore vectors.  In this vectors lesson students complete a lab activity. 

Students experiment with mirrors to explore the Laws of Reflection.  In this experimental lesson students develop their own experiments and follow a list of assigned steps then report what happens in their activity. 

Students design a program to make an automated vehicle perform a specific task. In this robotics lesson, students play the role of scientists competing to win a factory's contract. They present their algorithm to class.

Students engage in a lesson which reinforces the concepts of clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation, while developing an understanding that angles are measured in degrees. They utilize a mathematics educational program to gain practice.

Students research characteristics of different body parts. Students design and sketch a prosthetic they developed. They share their idea with the class and complete a worksheet.

Students investigate a fossil site and diagram a site map. They role play as paleontologists.

Learners explore primary and secondary colors. In this lesson on light and color, students complete four different activities which include mixing colors, creating secondary colors from primary colors and observing the colors in a bubble.

Give every type of learner in your physics class an opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned throughout the year. From analyzing tables and graphs, to evaluating diagrams and solving problems, there is an outstanding variety of...

Students examine how Christopher Columbus determined his latitude.

Upper graders solve ten multiple choice problems about angles and measuring angles.

Students become familiar with the causes for formation of shadows. They create shadows, compare the size and shape of the shadow with the actual object, engage in shadow play theatre, and discover what happens to shadows when there is...

Functions require an input in order to get an output, which explains why the answer always has at least two parts. After only three multi-part questions, the teacher can analyze pupils' strengths and weaknesses when it comes to...

In this 5th grade math standardized test practice learning exercise, students solve 8 multiple-step open-ended math problems based on New York academic standards.
