Students create their own monsters that exist in their imaginary closets and decorate their environment. They then write a short story to describe their illustration using a prompt.

Students practice creating bar graphs using a given set of data. Using the same data, they create a group frequency chart and histograms. They must decide the best graph for the given set of data. They share their graphs with the...

Students use the graphing calculator and the core equation: y=Ax^2+Bx+C where A = the acceleration of gravity/2, B = the initial velocity, and C = initial height above ground to graph parabolas for Earth and Mars. They experiment with...

Fourth graders complete activities to increase their understanding of coordinates. They listen to Julie Glass' book, The Fly on the Ceiling, before playing fly tic-tac-toe and Swat the Flies, in which they use ordered pairs to state the...

Students use art to express emotion.  In this visual arts lesson, students explore the use of various colors and shapes in an effort to express emotions displayed in the Twelve Labors of Hercules.  Students use the computer...

Students explore the art of Piet Mondrian. In this abstract art lesson, students look at paintings by the Dutch painter and then follow the provided steps to create their own abstract art inspired by his works.

Students perform translations and reflections. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calculator to graph functions. They move the functions around on the coordinate plane using translation and reflection.

Students explore the art of watercolor while discovering specific techniques used to create color. In this watercolor techniques lesson, students examine a variety of sample watercolor arrangements, practice the steps involved in...

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.

Eighth graders work in one collaborative group to understand how ordered pairs are represented and graphed on a coordinate plane. They identify points on the coordinate plane and communicate their understanding of ordered pairs and their...

First graders analyze objects and make a graphing picture to analyze the data. In this graphing activity, 1st graders complete an object graph assessment, a picture graph assessment, and a bar graph assessment to analyze their given...

Students examine what happens when air temperature drops and gets closer to the dewpoint. They perform a lab activity which illustrates the effects on humidity, precipitation and barometric air pressure.

Learners create a diagram based on rocks using a computer program. They use the program to put their thoughts in order and to have a sheet to reference to.

Students, in groups, plot points on the coordinate plane.

First graders are introduced to a coordinate graph. They are given a graph and follow directions to place stickers in the designated blocks. They write coordinate points to identify the placement of their stickers.

Seventh graders identify the different graphs used in science. For this graphing lesson, 7th graders analyze the three kinds of graphs. They construct a graph that best describes a given data.

Students find the different ratios of a right triangle. In this geometry lesson, students apply the concept of the Pythagorean theorem as they identify the different angles and parts of a Unit Circle. They find the ratios of sine,...

Students examine the effect of the various ice ages on Wisconsin. In groups, they create a map representing the five geographic regions of Wisconsin. They must write out a description of each region to be placed on a poster board. ...

Young scholars practice roller blading in a safe environment offering varying levels of skill challenges (slanted rope).

Eighth graders experiment with a bathroom scale, books and a plank to determine how weight readings change as distance is applied. They graph and interpret the results.

Students capture the serve motion of a tennis player with a digital or video camera. Using transparencies or a software package, analyze the speed, acceleration, displacement and time of the racquet head and ball in the tennis stroke.

Learners explore photography. They compare/contrast the work of two photographers, create a paper viewfinder and experiment with focusing on topics, take photographs, and display photograph essays about the school.

Middle schoolers identify organisms of a benthic community. They place the correct organism in the correct community and practice using marine terms. They play this game like a game of bingo.
