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...

Students participate in a review of diffusion and the basic properties of the cell membrane before exploring the process of osmosis in a lab activity. Using shell-less eggs that have soaked in various solutions, students make...

Students determine the exact relationship between the height from which a ball is dropped and the distance that it rebounds.

Students go over math vocabulary words and show examples of the terms on the board. In this math vocabulary lesson plan, students go over many words and are given a worksheet with words and definitions.

In this geometry worksheet, 6th graders complete word problems where they must find the area and perimeter of different shapes. Students complete 15 problems.

Pupils parcticipate in a modeling activity that simulates the cyclical role of experimental and theoretical science. Initially, students measure the mass of popcorn. They also record predictions of the mass of the kernels after they are...

In this measurement conversion worksheet, students convert twelve small units of English measure to larger ones.  A reference chart to help with the conversions is provided.

Students investigate the concepts of area and perimeter with the use of chocolate bars. They calculate the perimeter and area of different size rectangle chocolate bars and record the statistics. Then students make a visual comparison...

Young artists divide a piece of graph paper into sections using rectangles, squares, and triangles. They then fill each section with patterns of shape and color. Elementary graders describe how their patterns are organized. Secondary...

Why are the properties of the water important when exploring the ocean? Young scientists discover the tools and technology used in deep sea exploration in the fourth installment in a five-part series. Groups work together to...
