The inverse square law is revealed when your class participates in this activity. They move a graph paper or perfboard square back and forth in a square of light to see how the intensity changes. You will definitely want to add this...

A great resource for any math teacher covering multiples, factors or square roots; this worksheet walks young mathematicians through the logic behind factoring and square roots with a systematic set of problems which gradually increase...

Fifth graders build increasingly larger squares and triangles using pattern blocks. They record the growth patterns on a chart and look for corresponding numerical patterns. Students describe the patterns they find and use them to...

Color tiles are used to model perfect squares. Alone or in pairs, middle schoolers will find patterns. Afterward, the relationship between perfect squares and roots will be discussed as a whole class.

How often do you find a science worksheet that comes with separate teacher's instructions? Here is one of those rare instances. Goals and objectives, materials, and evaluation guidelines precede the actual assignment. Biology leaners...

In this square root worksheet, students determine the square root of perfect squares. This one-page worksheet contains 20 problems.

Let's learn about squares. Youngsters complete this coloring worksheet with multiple objectives including printing practice, spelling, shapes, and colors. First, they trace the word green. Pupils color all the squares in a string of...

Find the area of squares and rectangles and discuss square inches and square centimeters with your young geometers. Follow the example provided, and then let learners try it for themselves! They will find the area of seven rectangles. 

What a fun way to explore Mendelian Genetics! Using a computer connected to the Internet, beginning biologists construct and use Punnett squares of monohybrid crosses to explain how genetic traits are passed to offspring. Other websites...

Looking for a quick, hands-on activity to teach young scientists about Punnett squares through monohybrid crosses? then check out this one.

Can scientists really predict genetic outcomes or are they simply making a lucky guess? Scholars first learn about Gregor Mendel and how to make Punnett squares. Then they extract DNA from a strawberry in a lab with included conclusion...

As part of a study of Juliet Marillier's Wildwood Dancing, class members create vocabulary squares for words drawn from the story.

Human biology or genetics learners apply their knowledge to a unique situation: two newborn baby girls being possibly switched in the hospital. The engaging activity ends with a Punnett squares assignment in which pupils...

Learners review how to use the completing-the-square method to identify maximum and minimum values of a quadratic function by watching a video. They see how the vertex form relates to the extreme values of a quadratic function, and use...

In this magic squares worksheet, students find the magic number in each of the 4 magic squares. Each of the magic squares is completely filled so that students only have to find the common sum in each puzzle.

In this least squares activity, students solve 6 different problems that include the least squares of numbers. First, they plot 3 points on the axes shown and draw in their best approximating line. Then, students estimate the slope and...

Readers of Measure for Measure use words from Act II, scene 2 to complete a magic squares vocabulary exercise.  An answer sheet is included.

Pupils produce paragraphs with planning and precision with the four-square writing method, which allows learners to organize the topic, supporting, and summary sentences of their paragraphs. 

In this factoring difference of squares worksheet, students solve 18 different problems related to factoring the difference of squares for each. First, they write their parentheses out and find the common factors of the squared number....

Students identify shapes that are squares. In this square lesson plan, students identify the square items and then sing songs about squares.

Gregor Mendel was a monk who failed his teaching certification exam. He then dedicated his life to science and ended up creating the field of genetics. This presentation introduces the concepts of genetics and Punnett squares.

Teach budding mathematicians how to square a triangle with an interactive that shows a graphical proof of the Pythagorean Theorem. Pupils alter the lengths of the legs using sliders. Using the inputted lengths, the applet displays the...

Estimating a square root is as easy as evaluating a linear equation. Using the derivative of the square root function, pupils calculate an estimation of square roots. Class members determine the equation of the tangent line at the value...

Imagine a pair of dragons that produce offspring. What percentage of the hatchlings have wings and large antlers? An engaging activity draws genetics learners in, introduces them to alleles, meiosis, phenotypes, genotypes, and...
