Learners explore momentum. In this physics lesson, students perform an experiment in which two balls are released on slanted boards while learners observe which ball will go the farthest and the fastest. Students define and explain...

Tenth graders study graphing exponential functions. In this transformations lesson, 10th graders apply inquiry to determine how changes to a parent function affect its graph. Students analyze transformed graphs and generate the function...

Students compile information on volcanic activity at Mount St. Helens.  In this earth science activity, students use the information they gathered on Mount St. Helens to answer questions and create charts in Excel.  Then...

Eighth graders explore flight and the dichotomous key. In this flight lesson, 8th graders gain understanding of the dichotomous key and create one of their own. Students then use their dichotomous key to classify types of aircraft.

Students identify basic geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students read the book Shapetown and identify the various shapes from the story. Students are given a sheet and draw part of a town using only shapes.

Students make a simple machine. For this physics lesson, students learn about six types of simple machines and the purpose of each and brainstorm examples of simple and complex machines in the classroom. Students create a simple or...

Students observe how bird flight and machine flight are similar. In this aerodynamics lesson, students observe how birds fly and the shapes of their wings, and investigate how observing birds helped develop the concept of machine flight....

Tenth graders connect the history of geometry to problem solving. In this geometry lesson plan, 10th graders investigate polygons through hands on manipulatives and solve problems relating to parallelograms and triangles. They calculate...

In this carpentry worksheet, students fill out short answer questions using their workbook about carpentry in order to get a merit badge. Students complete 6 questions total.

In this solving systems by graphing worksheet, students solve 12 systems of equations. Students graph each system to find the intersection/solution.

Students investigate nets as they relate to volume and area. In this geometry lesson, students use nets as a visual to deepen their understanding of surface area and volume of objects. They make conjectures about different objects and...

In this circles worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice problems. Students answer questions about diameter and chord relationships, tangent lines to a circle, circumference, the Pi relationship, etc.

In this grammar worksheet, students read 23 sentences and mark the noun clause, adjective clause, or adverb clause. They read 20 sentences to find a noun phrase, verb phrase, or prepositional phrase. 

In this grammar activity, students practice using the correct modifier in each of the 14 sentences. Students circle the correct adjective or adverb for each sentence.

Students perform an experiment to find the linear relationship between the appllied weight and the bend of the cantilever. In this linear relationships lesson, students follow detailed directions to set up an experiment. They add weights...

Students design a cantilever I-beam given specific criteria. In this technology activity, students analyze stress and deflection using a computer program. They present their result in class orally.
