Humans can have a big impact on the environment, specifically the influence they have on the carbon cycle. First, the class will define and discuss each of the earths four major spheres, the biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and...

Upper graders form a "Presidential Task Force," and attempt to make recommendations concerning the future of the national power grid. After a teacher-led discussion which proves that our nation's energy consumption will soon outpace our...

Let coordinate pairs show you the way home. Scholars plot houses on a coordinate plane with given coordinates using an interactive app. Alternatively, they can identify the coordinates of houses already plotted on a coordinate plane.

Avoid the mines and win the game! Young scholars direct a robot through a minefield by plotting points. Their goal is to reach the target in as few moves as possible.

What are the trade-offs when looking to get the most benefit from an energy source? Small groups compare the cost-to-emission levels of several energy sources by looking at the information graphically. The groups utilize this...

Learners identify the stages of the water cycle. They listen to the book "Magic School Bus: Wet All Over," examine the Build Your Own Water Cycle website, predict and measure the amount of water in a jar for a week, and read a short play...

Learners explore reflections on a coordinate plane in this lesson. They trace their hand on a grid, determine the coordinates of each point, and create a scatter plot of their points. Pupils use this information to investigate aspect...

Find the distance between points, graph points, and interpret data on coordinate planes to solve word problems. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Try some coordinate plane word problems focusing on quadrant 1. Miss the problem, and Kahn offers some tutorials for help.

Practice graphing points like (-2, 4) on a coordinate plane. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Practice some more challenging quadrant one coordinate plane word problems.

Plot a given point on the coordinate plane. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

A set of four practice problems finding the points of quadrilaterals on a coordinate plane.
