In this vectors learning exercise, students draw vectors on three polar graphs and convert the polar components to rectangular components. They then draw the vector on a rectangular graph to complete the learning exercise.

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 use the order of operation to solve problems. In this algebra lesson, students solve linear equations in standard form. They use GERMDAS to solve the problems following the specific steps. They graph their solutions and analyze...

Middle schoolers use a thermometer to record temperatures from their homes throughout the city, and then hypothesize reasons for the temperature variations. They use a weather graph worksheet that's imbedded in this lesson to orgainize...

Students observe, record, and present knowledge of their local built environment while conducting a walking tour of their community. They develop written and photo journals, drawings, time lines, graphs, and charts to engage in...

Students create rocket shapes out of pattern blocks. They draw a picture of a rocket, build a pattern block rocket following simple directions, and complete a graph of the shapes used.

Students investigate the monarch's searching behavior and ability to find food. They determine whether or not a caterpillar can find food in a simple Y-shaped maze. They record and graph or chart the data from several attempts using...

Young scholars investigate the effect of weight on normal friction or the friction due to surface roughness. They tell about the effects of contact area that occurs as a result of molecular attraction by looking at data on line graphs.

Second graders view examples of active lifestyles in works of Robert Harris, and list and graph their daily activities to see if they lead active lifestyles. Students then name forms of entertainment that require practice,...

Fifth graders experiment with student-made aluminum boats to test for buoyancy. They design a boat and determine how many marbles it takes to sink it while recording their data in a spreadsheet. They design a graph using the data and...

Young scholars investigate water pollution. They develop an understanding of the behavior of organisms, of the structure and properties of matter, and of natural and human induced hazards by conducting lab tests. They present their data...

Students research to find information about populations and complete world maps by labeling the current population, and determining the 10 countries with the largest population. They search the "World Population Data Sheet." On the third...

Students investigate temperature and chemical reactions. They explore the effect of temperature and particle size has on the rate of a simple chemical reaction. In addition, they graph their results and answer assessment questions.

Student imitate mapping the ocean floor using the basic concepts of radar. Then they explain what radar is and how it workds. All of their measurements are recorded on a data sheet. Then the data is entered into a spreadsheet program. A...

Learners construct the Sierpinski Triangle using Cabri Jr. They use a step-by-step guide to construct the Sierpinski Triangle on their graphing calculator and then discuss the formula for constructing a nth stage Sierpinski Triangle.

Learners follow detailed directions to create triangles on their graphing calculator. In this properties of triangles lesson, they will create triangles on their calculators using the Cabri Jr. application. They then identify three...
