Fourth graders engage in a lesson that is about the concept of rounding decimals. They review place value and focus it upon the practice of rounding. Students use 10 base decimal grids or models to help make connections with the skill.

Students construct models that demonstrate potential sources of contamination. Students select one type of contamination model (septic system, sinkhole, landfill, disposal lagoon, leaky barrels, oil spill, agricultural contamination) to...

Students create three-dimensional cell models. They may choose to make either a plant or animal cell but must use a Ziploc bag as the cell membrane, slime for the cytoplasm, and strawberry baskets for the cell wall if making a plant...

Students create DNA models. Using puzzle pieces to represent the parts of a DNA strand, they put together a segment of DNA. Once everyone has completed their individual strand, they being linking with other students using tape. Class...

Students harness the power of the sun to design, construct and evaluate a solar-powered model car of their creation. They race their cars in a "Solar Sprint" race modeled after the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Junior Solar...

High schoolers compare and contrast the different periods of interior decor from the 20th Century to the present. They create a three dimensional model of an architectural blueprint.

Fifth graders build models. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders build paper models to represent square centimeters, square inches, square feet, cubic centimeters, cubic inches, cubic feet, and perimeter.

In this word problems worksheet, students read a story problem and clues that are provided. They use their knowledge of fewer than, more than, and what is not to solve the problem. This one-page worksheet contains one story problems.

Students identify the purpose of models and why economists use them. Using a graph, they practice reading and plotting points. They are introduced to a production possibilities frontier and draw their own from data supplied to them on...

Third graders explore the use of cups and counters as a model to analyze the effects of operations. They create and use a rule to create a sequential pattern and use cups and cubes to model the relationship.

Students work together to create a model of the Earth. They label and identify each layer and describing its properties. They discover how engineers use models to test different concepts.

Young scholars will explpre models and understand the difference between quadratic, exponential, and linear models in this lesson plan.
