Great real-world math application! Have the class compare and contrast their estimated home price and income data with actual data. In groups, they participate in simulations to discover how the housing market and mortgages operate....

Middle schoolers play game to practice numerical skills.

Students explore the similarities and differences between ocean mammals and fish. The characteristics of the life forms observed are placed onto a graph. The classroom becomes the botom of the sea and is explored to gain the required data.

Seventh graders discover the impact of man on the environment by analyzing plant and animal data.  In this ecology lesson, 7th graders investigate a nearby road which many cars pass on and examine the impact of the road on the...

Students predict, then measure how far a bug can travel on a "course" over a specified amount of time, then construct graphs based on the data they acquire.

Originally designed for a physical education classroom, this lesson plan asks learners to argue for their school to keep their PE class during budget cuts. Whether your school is facing this challenge or not, it does pose a great...

Students, in groups, participate in a simulated lunar mission. They roll a Lunar Cube to determine the type of information they will collect during their mission and strategize as to which "lunar location" they need to visit and,...

Students are involved in activities that give them experiences predictingthe likelihood of certain events occurring. They become aware that certain outcomes are equally likely, more likely,or less likely than others to occur. Students...

Students research about different human space explorations conducted by NASA. In this physical science lesson, students discuss why space exploration is important. They write a paper about their thoughts on continuing NASA's space...

Fifth graders research weather and climate for selected cities and create identification cards within a database. They prepare an oral presentation on a simulated on-location weather broadcast.

Students investigate their sense of smell by experimenting with smelly objects.  In this human senses lesson, students examine the length of time it takes to smell a random object that is close to them.  Students record the...

Students become part of the solution as they practice figuring percents. The number of men versus women present in the room and their heights can be used to form the basis of this investigation.
