Learners view a PowerPoint to introduce them to adjectives and complete a quiz. In groups, they travel between stations in which they work individually to correctly identify the adjectives in a sentence. They also create a list of...

Eighth graders discuss the impact geography had on hunter-gatherer societies, their toolmaking. They work in groups to create a Web page that links pictures of artifacts to explanations about what the artifact tell us about the lives of...

High schoolers participate in a simulation that asks them to work as staffers for a candidate running for office. They are assigned to design, administer, and analyze a simple poll on an important community issue. Students develop a...

Middle schoolers explore why: Schools are hotbeds of popular young opinion about what to wear, which music to listen to, and what TV shows to watch. In this activity, students extend their fascination with "what's hot" to the books they...

Students model creating level appropriate lesson plans. Using a matrix, students develop a lesson plan with various technological resources. Students videotape their presentation and write a self narrative reflection evaluation.

Students engage in a instructional activity that covers the history of America from its beginnings. They create a timeline of the events covered in chronological order. The instructional activity also includes a timeline quiz that is...

Fourth graders predict future outcomes with an investigation of the mathematical principle of probability using spinners constructed by them. The spinner is a hands on application an they combine it with writing a ratio for the...

Sixth graders explore the relationship between area and perimeter of rectangles. In this area and perimeter lesson, 6th graders measure and determine perimeter and area of various rectangles. Students create rectangles with given areas...

Third graders read more trade books. They increase difficulty level of trade books read. Students read chapter books. They read nonfiction selections. Students take a test over each book on Accelerated Reader.

Students document sections of their life through pictures, stories, and video to create an English "memory book". They use photographs, video and edited video which includes their history, includes calculated growth, and genetic...

Students order numbers and sets of objects from 0 through 10 and organize and interpret information collected from the immediate environment. They read and interpret graphs usin real objects and the computer. Finally, students sort a...

Learn how to program with Alice v2.0! Utilizing easy-to-learn drag-and-drop methods, Alice provides a wonderful introduction to programming methods. Create 3D graphics, a video game, a movie, or other interactive environment!

Students learn about nanocomposites, compression and strain as they design and program robots that compress materials. Student groups conduct experiments to determine how many LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT motor rotations it takes to compress soft...

Students use LEGO MINDSTORMS robotics to help conceptualize and understand the force of friction. Specifically, they observe how different surfaces in contact result in different frictional forces. A LEGO robot is constructed to pull a...

Students groups act as aerospace engineering teams competing to create linear equations to guide space shuttles safely through obstacles generated by a modeling game in level-based rounds. Each round provides a different configuration of...

Students learn various topics associated with the circle through studying a clock. Topics include reading analog time, understanding the concept of rotation (clockwise vs. counter-clockwise), and identifying right angles and straight...

Students learn and practice how to find the perimeter of a polygonal shape. Using a ruler, they measure model rooms made of construction paper walls. They learn about other tools, such as a robot, that can help them take measurements....

Using the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT kit, students construct experiments to measure the time it takes a free falling body to travel a specified distance. Students use the touch sensor, rotational sensor, and the NXT brick to measure the time of...

In an interactive and game-like manner, students learn about the mechanical advantage that is offered by gears. By virtue of the activity's mechatronics presentation, students learn to study a mechanical system as a dynamic system under...

Students use a LEGO ball shooter to demonstrate and analyze the motion of a projectile through use of a line graph. This activity involves using a method of data organization and trend observation with respect to dynamic experimentation...
