Your class can investigate the weather through an experiment. In this chemistry lesson, learners collect data on air pressure and relate it to the weather. They collect data with the TI containing a barometer probe.

Young learners explore erosion, deposition, weather and climate in this science lesson. They discuss the cause of erosion, collect data and analyze it suing the TI Explorer. They can also use the TI CBL or Vernier LabPro for this...

Learners experiment to determine ways different types of insulation materials work. In this animal adaptation lesson plan, they make hand coverings from plastic bags, shortening, feathers, and wool. They observe effects of these...

Young learners compare the breathing patterns of different animals in this pinniped lesson. They examine the breathing pattern of California sea lions and northern elephant seals. Pupils collect, compare and analyze data concerning...

Pupils will analyze scales as related to models and real life in this geometry lesson. They work together to compare the dimensions on a model as compared to the real building.

Learners explore geometric concepts using technology. They manipulate the TI to find important math topics. This activity requires a TI-84 or higher.

Learners explore the measures of the angles of a triangle in this geometry lesson. They use Cabri Jr. to investigate the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle, and examine the relationships between the interior and...

Learners investigate the special properties of an altitude, a median, and an angle bisector and explore how these special segments divide the area of a triangle. The dynamic nature of Cabri Jr. allows pupils to form and verify conjectures.

Learners explore the difference between a construction and a drawing. They focus on various ways to construct different types of triangles. The lesson is an application of Cabri Jr. and reinforces the difference between a constructions...

Pupils investigate inscribing a circle in a triangle. They use Cabri Jr. to draw a triangle, locate the incenter, and use the distance from the incenter to a side of the triangle to inscribe a circle. The dynamic nature of the geometry...

Pupils investigate segments in a triangle by constructing a triangle using Cabri Jr. They construct segments within the triangle that lie on the midpoints of the triangle's sides. Learners then compare the slope of base of the triangle...

Pupils explore the midsegment of a triangle in the geometry lesson. They draw and measure the segment joining the midpoints of the two sides of a triangle and compare its length to the length of the third side of the triangle. The...

Students analyze midsegments of triangles in this lesson. They use Cabri Jr. software to observe the relationships between interior angles and midsegments of triangles. Specific instructions for creating this lesson in Cabri Jr. are...

High schoolers investigate the relationship between angle measures and sides of a triangle and the relationships among the three sides of a triangle. The use of technology (Cabri, Jr.) allows learners to make and test conjectures as they...

Students complete activities with the book The Birthday Swap by Loretta Lopez. In this literature lesson, students answer pre-reading questions, locate new vocabulary, and read the story. They answer comprehension questions,...

Students understand the basic properties of plate motion. They demonstrate what happens to a plate while faulting while using manipulatives. They demonstrate the Nature of Scientific Inquiry to solve scientific issues.

Pupils investigate the properties of a rotation as they use technology (Cabri, Jr.) to observe the relationship between the pre-image and the image formed by the rotation. The lesson provides ample opportunity for learners to conjecture...

Students work with large numbers when determining the height of a stack of $20 bills.

Students read about the changes in the "new money" and then create a graph to represent various combinations of currency produced.

Elementary schoolers create their very own multiplication book, which should help them to memorize their multiplication facts. Each pupil creates an addition and a multiplication sentence, such as: "Tommy goes to the store and bought...

Students explore the use of fossil fuel energy. In this ecology lesson, students review the multiple steps used to make an aluminum can. Small groups choose a breakfast cereal and create a flow chart showing all the processes used to...

Students identify sounds played on instruments from around the world. In this music lesson, students listen to music played on various low brass instruments from Tibet, Switzerland and Haiti to determine the differences in pitch...

Students compose music using Islamic patterns. In this cultural arts lesson plan, students examine Islamic art and analyze the patterns. Students incorporate various Islamic patterns into a musical composition.

Fourth graders view a variety of rice products and calculate their cost.  In this rice math lesson, 4th graders estimate cost and multiply to find 8 of each item. Students estimate using different amounts of rice products. Students...
