Learners construct their own battery made of lemons. In this electrochemistry lesson plan, students explain why lemons conduct electricity. They perform a series of experiments to investigate its conductivity.

Tenth graders research about the different cell organelles. In this series of biology lessons, 10th graders compare two allotropes of carbon. They investigate how the rate of reaction is affected by concentration.

Students work with large numbers when determining the height of a stack of $20 bills.

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...

Students discuss the harvesting and production of pumpkins. Ingredients for creating a pumpkin pie are divided into 4 or 5 groups. Students follow the directions to make a pumpkin pie. Additional ideas for making a Pumpkin Ag Bag are...

Sentence construction is both a science and an art. This bare bones instructional activity ties an analysis of earth's geology to sentence formation. Although referenced as a major part of the activity, there are no links to the...

Fourth graders are asked to name different shapes.Four to five students to share their answers with the class. The teacher leads the discussion in geometry about the properties associated with shapes.

Learners calculate the surface area and volume of shapes. In this geometry lesson, students create different scales and calculate the volume and area for each shape. They compare and contrast between the different scales and shapes.

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

Fifth graders Apply the symmetry and angle properties of polygons, using symmetry and angle properties of polygons to solve practical problems. They study tessellates and explain why a shape tessellates.

Third graders investigate three dimensional shapes. They examine a variety of shapes and the relationship between the number of faces, edges, and vertices. Students determine Euler's formula and they create a variety of three dimensional...

Students model the arrangement of particles in a liquid. They use the model, to demonstrate how a gas is formed from a liquid with no increase in temperature as energy is added. Pupils model the arrangement and movement of gas particles.

Students demonstrate the ability to develop questions and ideas to initiate and refine research. They demonstrate the ability to conduct research and to answer questions and evaluate information and ideas. They design World Peace Flags.

Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...

Learners study the makeup of the earth, including the core, the mantle and the crust. They compare the temperatures and thicknesses of each layer. In pairs, they make a model of a cross-section of the earth out of modeling clay.

Students discuss and experiment with the phases of water.  In this phases of matter lesson, students recognize the different states of matter.  Students measure and record changes and understand when the state changes.

Students explore matter. They use a formula to measure the volume of matter.

Fourth graders find the volume of cubes and cylinders. To determine volume, they fill large cubes with centimeter cubes. They discuss the formula used to find the volume of a cube. Students explore why the solution to the volume of a...

Students investigate the relationship between volume and mass in different liquids such as vegetable oil, rubbing alcohol and water. They measure the mass of several different volumes of each liquid and then graph the results as well as...

Fourth graders use two different techniques to construct triangles with specific dimensions. They determine how to construct nets for three-dimensional objects focusing on those made with equilateral triangles. They are able to name the...

Learners investigate the concepts of geometry that can be grouped into a flip book that can be used for teaching and review purposes. They define the differences between two and three dimensional figures. Also polygons are reviewed and...

Sixth graders investigate the difference between rocks and minerals. They name the three kinds of rocks (sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic) and know the differences between them.

Students identify the parts of three dimensional objects. For this geometry lesson, students find the number of faces, edges and vertices. They differentiate between prisms and polyhedra.

Students calculate the sum of the angles of a polygon. In this geometry lesson, students use the interior angle formula of polygon based on the number of sides of the polygon. They identify the missing angle using algebra.
