Sixth graders use the web to find and download photos, images, and clip art to create a large library of images in a short time. They survey audio and video files and other media by using various search engines. Remember to follow...

In this secondary mathematics lesson, learners investigate the uses and capabilities of a TI-89 application designed for mechanical engineering students. The app contains over 700 pieces of reference information and organized into...

Torque--a teachable moment? Here's a lesson on torque (or moment) and variables that include size, reinforcement, structural bracing, and material that affect torque.

Learners research three major bridge collapses. In this Physical Science lesson plan, students will sketch a bridge design for their area after their research. All bridge designs will be presented to the class to discuss strengths and...

Students develop a device that can measure pH. In this science lesson plan, students test different solutions and determine whether they are acidic or basic. They write a complete lab report about the process.

How does Google work? That is the question answered by this printable. The four steps (search, analyze, evaluate, and rank) are detailed. A great way to launch a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of this research tool.

The last activity in a nine-part series has teams create a Google Earth map using the data they collected during a field trip. Using the map, groups analyze the results and make adjustments to the map to reflect their analysis. A short...

If you could pick characteristics you would want your child to possess, what would they be? To better understand Okonkwo, one of the key characters in Things Fall Apart, class groups engage in an activity that asks them to consider this...

Transform your class' understanding of genes and antibiotic resistance with the Transformation Lab. Junior geneticists create and observe their own resistant strains of E. coli through research, discussion, and experimentation. The...

Jell-O® can help model the transmission of light through fiber optic cables. Young scientists use the jiggly dessert to make a waveguide to transmit a laser beam from one point to another. Their models help them learn the function...

Students convert measurements from one unit to another. In this technology lesson plan, students create their own test tubes using a computer program. They calculate mass based on density information.

Learners build an abstract meaningless object. In this technology lesson plan, learners draw the plans of the object. They exchange drafts among their classmates and build them.

Reviewed resources in this educational search engine include these subjects: science, languages, technology, and multicultural. Various languages are available for the browser.

Students explore the ways in which technological advances have benefited tomatoes as a commodity. In a small group, students review information related to the selective breeding and genetic engineering of tomatoes. Groups compose a...

Young scholars explore selective breeding and genetic engineering. They illustrate that produce items have a wide variety of traits that can potentially be combined to produce a new food by creating a class graph.

Young scholars watch a demonstration on how to perform a proper internet search. Individually, they visit the Occupational Outlook Handbook and identify its purpose. They identify what professionals in a specific career do on the job...

Elementary engineers design a dog house suitable for a large dog according to specific criteria. Students create a design for a doghouse that allows their dog to grow, protects him from the elements, and keeps food and water dishes...

Students solve quadratic equations. In pairs, students perform experiments where an object's free-fall is measured and graphed. Students discover and write reports on the uses of parabolas in real life applications. A guest speaker,...

Students examine various topics on genetics. Students explore the Internet to gather information on genetic testing, genetically engineered food, forensics, DNA and cloning. They research and determine the best way to fund each of the...

In this war history worksheet, students use the Internet to open a file on Air War and use the sort and search tools to respond to 8 questions. Then they create a graph of the total numbers of aircraft produced by the Axis Powers. In...

In this internet research worksheet, 3rd graders use the Fact Monster search engine to answer five questions. A sample question asks, "What common food was once called the "love-apple?"

Students examine how engineers utilize the wind.  In this wind lesson students examine the different kinds of winds and measure wind direction.
