Learners practice graphing linear inequalities and explain their solution sets to the solving of a system of linear equalities graphically and symbolically. They utilize programming techniques in setting up and solving systems of linear...

Students create ways to find the number of square miles that lie in a triangle having vertices at A, B, and C. They compute the distance between two points and use Heron's formula to find the area of the triangle. Finally, students...

Students reflect functions about the X-axis, Y-axis, and origin. They derive equations for reflected functions using the website www.explorelearning.com.

Students discover what simple machines are and identify a gear, a pulley, and a lever. In teams, they build at least two models each of simple machines and challenge them with specific instruction cards. Finally, students present and...

Students recognize the concepts of the light-dependent and the Calvin cycles. They draw diagrams of the light-dependent reaction and the Calvin cycle. In addition, they investigate the effects of light on carbohydrate content in leaves.

Young scholars create art using digital cameras and computers. In this visual art lesson, students look at examples of Andy Warhol's artwork and Pop Art. They create a contour line drawing of their self portrait and manipulate it using...

Students examine the effects of cocaine and heroin and withdrawal symptoms.  In this drug  lesson students participate in an activity that illustrates cocaine's actions. 

Learners study fungi and its characteristics.  In this fungi lesson students collect and observe fungi then answer questions on what they saw. 

In this division activity, students complete word problems with division about pizza slices, jelly servings, percentages of cards, and more. Students complete 14 problems.

For this fair-division exam worksheet, students complete problems using concepts of perception of value, last diminisher and sealed bids.

Seventh graders simulate the capture-recapture method of population sampling using beans. In this biology lesson, 7th graders calculate the total population of beans in the bowl. They assess whether this method is reliable or not.

Students trace back through time to see how the nutritional value of food consumed was enhanced.  For this nutrients lesson students complete several activities that show the mass of food, and its PH value.

Students undertake a series of experiments related to the water cycle. All experiments use John Dewey's experiential philosophy as their bases. Each lesson plan is clearly based on philosophy and attempts to be relevant.

Young scholars examine several writings from both locals and Peace Corps volunteers from several African countries. Students reflect on how the writer's interactions with water are presented through the material. Young scholars write...

Learners learn the processes of cell division, both somatic and sexual through lecture. They participate in an Internet lesson to strenghten their understanding of mitosis and meiosis.

Students use their knowledge of DNA fingerprinting to evaluate the use fingerprints in courts, and will address the ethics of establishing a national database of fingerprints.

Students gain an awareness for the work of Alexander Calder, study a variety of utilitarian objects and discuss their purposes, and create graphic of a utilitarian piece using computer graphic software.
