Students find the number of possible arrangements of several objects by using the Basic Counting Principle. In this math instructional activity, students divide into groups and determine the number of possible sandwiches which can be...

Second graders recognize the importance of having community leaders.  For this community leaders lesson, 2nd graders find local leader names and local leader news items. Students answer questions and create a graphic organizer...

Young scholars investigate the process of the carbon cycle. In this biology lesson plan, students take soil sample and calculate the amount of carbon found in the soil. They examine level of carbons in marine life and plants.

Students examine the elements and principles of design. They design and create posters to promote world peace.

Here is a good way to use newspapers in the classroom and build a functional vocabulary. Learners are given 26 cards, they write one letter of the alphabet on each. They search the paper to find a name, place, or word for each letter,...

As an introductory activity, young statisticians measure their heart rate at rest and after exercise and compute the mean and median, and create a box & whisker plot.  This is followed by watching a video (that no longer seems...

This helpful lesson explores the probability in tossing a coin and throwing dice. Specifically, it looks at the probability of getting numbers that are significant to the game of craps, assuming that once the math is understood, most...

Tenth graders examine the heating curve of water when head is added constantly over time. They input values into a calculator as they record water temperature every thirty seconds as it is heated on a hot plate. They complete the...

Via teacher-led discussion, agriculture classes discover the desirable characteristics of horse anatomy. The PowerPoint and worksheet mentioned in this plan are not available; however you may find the notes useful as a guide to the...

Students investigate density and its relationship to air and gas. Students perform experiments to determine if gases have mass. They explore possible ways to figure out the density of gases.

Learners need to be creative in developing an activity that will help other students review the information studied in the past four weeks. They will work effectively in groups to develop a culminating activity and to play other groups'...

Students name and locate countries where radiation from the Chernobyl accident traveled, describe how air pollution travels from one area to another and list the travel of radiation in chronological order.

Young scholars list reasons why water is important and investigate and graph the freezing points of different solutions.

Fourth graders examine the paths that electrical currents travel. They create a current of electricity using flashlights, bulbs, batteries, wires and tape. They determine how to create a closed circuit that will light the bulb. They...

Students turn solid water (ice) into liquid water. In this solid and liquid water lesson plan, students use water, ice, cups, and heat in order to change water from one state to another. They draw their findings as well.

Fourth graders work together to complete an experiment on air pollution. They identify visible and invisible forms of pollution. They gather their data in notebooks and analyze their results to end the lesson.

Students examine the path of pollution that was created by the Chernobyl accident. They discover how air pollution travels from one area to another and sequentially locate the countries where radiation traveled to.

Students discover the amount of diversity that exists in a local area using simple techniques that make observing biodiversity easy and enjoyable. They select a tree to study, collect vials of specimens, then identify the arthropod.

Fourth graders explore magnets as fundamental parts of generators and how they are used to produce current electricity. They distinguish between the north and south pole of magnets and the difference between repel and attract. Students...

Students explore the why the balance among producers, predators and prey is necessary in order for an ecosystem to be sustained over time. Through web games and activities, they discover how each component of the food chain works to...

High schoolers explain that mass times velocity equals momentum. They investigate the impacts of collisions and their results and determine the vector of an incident.

Students determine the sequential links in a marine food chain and identify the roles that various organisms play in this chain. Students develop charts as visual aids for illustrating marine food chains.

Students examine the mathematical concept of area. These activities and discussions may be used to develop students' understanding of this mathematical concept and will enable students to calculate the area of a random shape on a grid.
