Young scholars examine elastomeric polymers in a lab activity in which they design a bungee cord. Students must determine the tensile strength, percent elongation, and plot stress versus strain graphs for their experiments on rubber...

Students read a given play. They choose the key scenes from the play and write a narration to carry the plot line between those scenes. They create a comic book that depicts these key scenes, complete with pictures and text balloons.

Here is a simple, yet clever lesson on how to teach the important concepts of greater than, less than, and equal to. Pupils write their names down on grid paper - one letter per box. They compare their names and find a name that is...

Track your class's progress on all of the ELA Common Core standards with these handy charts. Along the left side, each seventh grade identifier is listed along with the full text of the standard. As you teach, reteach, assess,...

Young scholars use given data to compare baseball players. They create box and whisker plots to compare the players and determine which they feel is the best player. Students use calculators to make box and whisker plots. They write...

Third graders predict how many times they'll see the word "the" in a newspaper page and highlight all the "the"s they find. After reviewing definitions of range, median, mode, mean they create a Stem and Leaf Plot and a Back-to-Back Stem...

Young scholars create a movie flyer to advertise the novel that the class has just finished reading in small groups. They search the Internet, format their flyer, select a slogan for their film, write a brief plot summary, without giving...

For this convolution method worksheet, students solve 4 different equations related to convolution methods. First, they create a combined plot of the three different solutions and the forcing function. Then, students use any method...

In this matrices for data learning exercise, 9th graders solve and complete 29 various types of problems that include using matrices to illustrate data. First, they determine the sum, difference and scalar product for each matrices...

Tenth graders draw, label, plot and locate points on a coordinate plane. In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders define a coordinate plane and identify the different quadrants. They relate coordinate plane to the game of...

Ninth graders graph linear functions using coordinate points. In this algebra lesson, 9th graders plot points and graph a line. They use the slope intercept form to graph their equation and evaluate points as solution to the function.

Students make a table and graph plotting points. In this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations on a coordinate plane. They calculate the rate of change and analyze the graph for extrapolation.

With many factors leading to a great athlete, does height make Usain Bolt unfairly fast? Middle schoolers conduct analysis to change the running distance of the Olympic races to be proportional to the height of the participants. They...

Students make a box and whiskers plot using the TI-73 graphing calculator. Each student would have their own calculator but they would work in small groups of two or three to help each other enter the data and make the plots.

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...

An informational text about Lemony Snicket leads to a discussion of the books class members have read in the Series of Unfortunate Events series. Children then compare and contrast the settings, plots, and characters in the...

In this histogram worksheet, students solve 6 multiple choice and short answer problems. Students read histograms and determine the frequency of a particular item.

Students create graphic, algebraic and verbal ideas of functions. In this algebra lesson, students graph functions and identify the zeros of the functions. They find the domain and range and classify functions as relation or not.

Young scholars analyze the number of times each letter in the alphabet is used in the names of the states. In this statistics lesson plan, students create a stem and leaf plot, box and whisker plot and a histogram to analyze their data.

Students graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students differentiate between linear equations and scatter plots.They identify the best fit line as having a positive or negative slope. They find the y-intercept and use it...

Students perform a simulation of the workings of an electron microscope to discover that the resolution will need to improved to detect objects in the nano-scale. They use wooden dowels as detectors to determine the shape of objects in...

Students examine the importance of the environment including the setting, lights, sound, costumes, and props for a play or story. They visualize the appropriate environments and practice applying the techniques.

Second graders identify the elements of the story "The Librarian from the Black Lagoon." They listen to the story and list the story elements of character, settling, problem, and solution. They then use KidPix to create individual...

Pupils work to develop surveys and collect data. They display the data using circle graphs, histograms, box and whisker plots, and scatter plots. Students use multimedia tools to develop a visual presentation to display their data.
