Learners graph scenarios values by making a table. In this algebra instructional activity, students rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols. They make a table of the data, make a graph and analyze the data to extrapolate.

Young scholars 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.

Students calculate rate of change and graph linear functions. In this algebra lesson students write linear functions, make a table of points and graph their data on a coordinate plane. They calculate the rate of change of a graph.

Students solve problems using the order of operation. For this algebra lesson, students solve problems using the PEMDAS. They work from the inside of a parentheses on outward as they solve the problem correctly.

Students solve problems using the order of operation. In this algebra lesson, students perform order of operation working from inside the parentheses and exponents to multiplication and division in the right order. They evaluate...

Learners solve equations with variable on both sides of the equal sign. In this algebra lesson, students combine like terms using opposite signs. They solve for the desired variable using addition, multiplication, division and...

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...

Develop the concept that numbers from 11 to 19 are essentially a 10, plus more! The first two of the six story problems on this sheet are scaffolded with pictures. Learners compose and decompose numbers to answer how many 10s and how...

Teens experience natural selection firsthand (or first beak) in an activity that has them act as finches foraging for food. Using different household items  to act as different beak styles, your little finches will collect as much...

Scientists need to figure out how to measure interplanetary magnetic fields, but the magnetic field of the spacecraft is interfering with their readings. Scholars attempt to solve the problem that has perplexed NASA scientists for years.

A helpful worksheet describes an interesting demonstration on the surface tension of water. Learners guess how many drops of water the heads side of a penny will hold. This resource does a great job of describing just how a penny can...

On this homework assignment, physics novices draw force diagrams and compute the tension in various situations. Drawings help learners visualize each of six scenarios. This is terrific practice in solving problems with forces.

Force equals mass times acceleration. Physics whizzes apply this formula to six different diagrams, solving eight acceleration problems in all. This is a practical assignment, perfect for homework when practicing Newton's second law of...

A fabulous lesson on the life of Clara Barton awaits your class. They describe how Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross, and the role it played in organizing help for those in need. Additionally, young historians explain how...

Students investigate issues of degradation and weathering of polymeric materials during their useful life. They evaluate photodegradable plastics and their viability as an environmental solution for litter and investigate the qualitative...

Students explore DNA restriction mapping. They cut pieces of paper into lengths representing those produced when specific enzymes are used to cut a strand of DNA.

Young scientists use a worksheet to help them perform a lab on the decay of a radioactive element. The worksheet serves as both a task guide and a lab sheet for pairs of learners. This activity requires a calculator and has excellent...

An interesting article on editors helps young writers understand the conventions of written English. They read a news article about an editor traveling America correcting spelling and punctuation errors on signs.  They discuss...

Using this lesson on blogs, you can lead your class through the process of setting up a blog, writing a blog entry, editing their work, and more. There is a link to the blog site used, and attachments of blog entries.

Challenge your pupils' writing skills with this two-page worksheet. There are a total of twenty sentences which must be read in order to determine whether or not they contain errors in parallel structure. Note: This worksheet accompanies...
