Young poets use Kidspiration to draw a flower, personify the flower, and write a poem from the flower's point of view. Sharing these poems in small groups will reinforce learners' knowledge of personification. 

Middle schoolers engage in a clever lesson that combines meteorology with mathematical thinking. They use integers in relation to high and low temperatures that they record. They use a spreadsheet of weather data, a computer, and gain...

Reinforce the importance of the writing process with this publication lesson. Elementary and middle schoolers compose a parts of speech book which includes one page each for nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions,...

Students are assigned the task of building a community building. They construct the building using a computer graphics design program. The simulated building when completed be put together to form a small town.

First graders compare prices to determine the best buy. They earn money, by correctly completing math problems. Earnings are used to purchase items from a store using exact change.

Students poll classmates to gather information for a graph. They identify three types of graphs (bar, line, table). Students create each type of graph using data gathered from classmates.

Learners take a book they've read previously and create a multimedia book report. They use the book report graphic organizer (attached) to plan their PowerPoint presentation. A thorough rubric is provided for you to ease grading. There's...

Students discuss the weather conditions. They read thermometer, rain gauge, barometer, and wind direction and speed. They record observations of weather conditions and enter information into data base on the computer.

Students run a computer simulation and collect data as they work and use the data to create an annual report for their business. It is desirable for students to do this project individually, but it could be done as a class using a large...

Students familiarize themselves, through teacher demonstration, with Gavendish's apparatus first used for experimentally determining the value of the Universal Gravitational Constant G, and calculate theoretical value of Earth's...

Students estimate and measure triangles. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the relationship between three sides and a triangle. They use the inequality theorem to decide if a triangle will be formed or not.

Bring a lesson about Negro League Baseball to your Black history unit, or any other research unit throughout the year. While the lesson plan itself is simplistic, there are several good ideas that you could use, such as creating trading...

While just a simple exploration of fractions, this lesson comes with resources to make it a richer experience. Third graders identify fractions, complete worksheets, and use KidPix to make their own fraction pizzas.

Chemistry neophytes use a temperature probe to assess the change as five different liquids evaporate. The implantation section suggests that they take readings every five seconds for a total of four minutes. They graph the data, look up...

Fourth graders read and discuss the sun and the energy we use on Earth from the sun. In this sun lesson plan, 4th graders discuss the solar system, planets, and answer short answer questions.

Students wrap their mummy, use canopic-style jars for the preserved chicken organs and design and decorate a sarcophagus. They collect data by weighing, measuring and graphing their "mummy" and its organs.

Students explore learning strategies that may be incorporated into a classroom. In groups, they prepare a role play that demonstrates a specific learning strategy. students discuss necessary materials,l take notes on the learning...

Students investigate the use of the TI-Graph Link.  In this middle school mathematics lesson, students explore the transfer of data from the TI-73 to the computer and vice-versa using the TI-Graph Link.

Students use the FoilSim computer simulation program, and demonstrate an understanding of the lift variables by explaining their graphical representations. They demonstrate an understanding of forces and motion.

Students plot equations. In this graphing activity, groups of students play the "Green Globs" graphing game to practice previously learned graphing skills. However, the author does not include information about how to obtain the software...

Students use the lab apparatus to calculate the average velocity and average acceleration at several points and record the data. They use the spreadsheets to plot distance vs. time, velocity vs. time and acceleration vs. time graphs.
