Pupils explore distance a toy car travels by changing the amount of batteries used to power the toy car.  In this force and motion lesson, students calculate the average speed of a car while investigating the power from various...

Learners assign numbers to describe objects. In this number lesson, students assign numbers to objects and compare more, less, and equal values. They write down descriptions of plants including the number of leaves and height of the...

High schoolers figure the number of half-lives since the sample solidified, and therefore the "age" of the sample rocks.

Students identify numbers 1-10 and place them in the correct order. They practice different locomotor movements and move out into the general space as directed (skip, hop, gallop, slide, etc.) and return with one card. They place the...

Students critique their own drawings for accuracy and make constructive suggestions prior to reworking them. They discover how scale in maps and drawing relate to relative size and distance. In addition, students comprehend the...

Learners review the number of servings of each section of the food pyramid appropriate to eat per day.They work in small groups to place food in the correct locations on the food pyramid. They complete the process to music.

Students view and use visual texts to gain and present information, become familiar with and use appropriate technologies eg. publish writing on computer, use photographs to record events, use video to record events.

Students discuss accuracy and the need for it in blueprints in order to create the final project. They further refine and perfect drawings as part of the school drawing project. Students create a blueprint for the new school building...

Eleventh graders research an animal and its habitat, the conditions of that habitat and how its connections to the rest of the world are affecting that habitat.

Fourth graders explore the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Peru.

Students create a Cartesian diver out of a bottle of water and a condiment packet (soy sauce, ketchup, etc.) They observe what happens to the packet as they squeeze the bottle and determine which types of condiment packets make the best...

Students examine the movement of the water table and saturation zones. They describe the movements of the water table and locate the saturation zones. Students identify the function of each saturation zone. They develop a model of the...

Students categorize items into one of the three states of matter. They participate in a demonstration in which they represent particles of matter. Finally, they complete an experiment in which they "race" top see who can make acetone...

Ninth graders illustrate the routes taken by different explorers on a world map. They explain the need for the different exploration voyages. Students explore the web for information that may contain different points of view or...

Students import ocean bathymetry data from text files. They then graph these observations along with model predictions to assess the model's ability to simulate observed topographic features of the North Atlantic. Students use Excel to...

Who needs physical activity? How can it help? Find out here with this introduction to physical activity from the CDC.

Students design, build and evaluate a spring-powered mouse trap racer. For evaluation, teams equip their racers with an intelligent brick from a LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Education Base Set and a HiTechnic acceleration sensor. They use...

This task asks students to analyze a set of data about the height of a basketball for each time it bounces. They choose a model that reasonably fits the data and use the model to answer questions about the physical context. This variant...
