Read and examine primary source material in order to analyze, synthesize, and debate information about the Great Depression. Critical analysts research various source materials related to the Great Depression. They work in teams to...

Students explore erosion when there are multiple types of sediments. They view a soil separation demonstration jar before and after agitation to determine how and why the layers settled. In addition, they conduct experiments with a river...

Reinforcing the math terms, "before," "between," and "after," is the focus of this math PowerPoint. Young mathematicians must fill in the missing number in a sequence of numbers shown on each slide. This presentation should provide...

Who knows how to operate these multiplication machines? Young mathematicians examine five machines, each with a specific function (i.e. x3) to transform the input numbers to output numbers. They send five numbers through each machine,...

An interesting instructional activity on hypothesizing about the diameter of a drop of blood that is splattered. To test their theories, learners work in groups to make blood droplets splatter from different heights. They use graphed...

Middle schoolers are encourage to try their hand at traditional Oceania tapa art by crafting their own cloth using brown paper bags. Included in the resource is background information about the cultures of Oceania and their art. 

NASA presents a mini-unit on distances in our solar system. It incorporates scientific concepts of gravity, mass, density, and payload while your aspiring astronauts also employ mathematics skills. They calculate speed, they determine...

Learners use the on-line affine recurrence plotter to graph equations. They work on-line to create graphs of trout in a trout pond and savings account balances when interest is compounded over time. Links to the four one-day lessons are...

Through a variety of hands-on activities and physical scenarios, this far-reaching unit leads learners through an exceptionally thorough exploration of circles and parabolas as conic sections. Geometric construction techniques are used...

Students explore patterns. In this patterns lesson, students explore patterns in hand-shaking scenarios. Students work in groups to predict and record the number of handshakes that occur in a group.

Students cut out red, white, and blue stars and create different patterns with them. In this patterns lesson, students can make stamp patterns, number patterns, color patterns, and more!

Second graders design and construct homes for the three pigs. Each of the homes is made and filled with patterns that we explore. They continue a sequential pattern and describe a rule for this.

Students explore the math concept of sequencing. In this math lesson, students examine patterns and determine the patterns needed to finish sequences.

Students explore the concept of A-B and A-B-B patterns, and show this by creating a pattern with concrete objects and on the Kid Pix Deluxe computer program.

Third graders examine how to solve in and out function problems, or mystery numbers. They analyze a variety of mystery number problems together and extend the patterns. Students then independently complete a Mystery Number activity...

Young scholars cover a picture with the correct pattern blocks and then sort the blocks into groups of the same shape. They make statements about the patterns blocks using comparison words.

Pupils review the basic addition facts through ten. They use tens frames to show number patterns and number families. They also form subtraction facts to ten using dot patterns on a quinary frame. Given a number sentence they find the...

Students practice identifying long vowels.  For this vowel lesson, students read a story and find long vowel words that fit their pattern. Students then sort their word under the correct long vowel pattern.

Young scholars explore numbers patterns and write equations to describe the pattern. They apply the equations to further the patterns.

Students develop an understanding of patterns and symmetry. In this symmetry and pattern lesson, students use real world patterns then analyze and extend them. Students also use real world items while discovering and observing...

Students participate in an activity to discover patterns. They make cutouts of bones and decorate them in patterns. They work together in pairs and removes the number of bones they roll on the die. They also practice writing their numbers.

Fourth graders use manipulatives to practice math patterns.

Students create and color a one-patch quilt design based upon a regular hexagon. They examine quilts and photos of quilt designs, read a handout, and complete their quilt design on a worksheet.

Seventh graders explore lines of symmetry, congruent polygons and patterns. They listen to "The Seasons Sewn," observe a PowerPoint presentation, and identify congruent polygons and visual patterns. Through an internet activity, 7th...
