Fifth graders study perimeter. In this math lesson, 5th graders use Cheerios to find the perimeter of various polygons. Students discuss how to figure the perimeter of triangles, squares and rectangles.

Students use a doubling techniques to complete multiplication problems. In this multiplication lesson plan, students multiply by twos, fours, and eights, and look for the patterns that emerge. The author has attached a YouTube video...

Fourth graders practice estimating temperatures. They practice in Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Students use formulas for common geometric shapes in order to solve a real-life, multi-step problem. They calculate material cost based on price/sq. unit.

Eighth graders find the length of the third side of a right triangle.

Middle schoolers find number patterns in the generation of several different types of fractals.

Fifth graders use the Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers to compare temperature readings. They use the Internet to find the temperatures of selected cities. After data is collected for five days, 5th graders graph the temperatures.

Young scholars examine the distances between the Sun, planets, and smaller objects in the Solar System. They design a model using beads that shows the scale distances of the Solar System using astronomical units converted into a 10...

Young scholars are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes and study the differences between them. They also practice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes

Students will make a circuit on a mystery card. They will connect wires, bulbs, and battery to form an electrical tester. After students learn how to make one following the directions, they can create their own mystery card by...

Students make a circuit on a mystery card. They then use an electrical tester to determine where electricity flows between circles on the card. They will connect wires, bulbs, and a battery to form an electrical tester.

Students test their knowledge of electrical conductors and circuits by constructing an electric tester and using it to determine where electricity flows between circles on a mystery card.

Pupils make either and insect or a spider using materials their teacher provides. They then draw of picture of their organism and defend why it is either a spider or an insect.

In this science worksheet, middle schoolers identify the amount of liquid that is present in a container and make a conversion for the five problems.

Students identify, describe, count, tally, and graph life found in one square foot of land.

Students make observations about mealworms using hand lenses, rulers, and cotton swabs. Students complete their own mealworm observation chart, then they share their observations with the class. This is one station out of five in an...

Students calculate their carbon footprint. In this environmental technology lesson, students listen to a lecture on climate change. Students brainstorm solutions to reduce environmental impact based on travel options. Students calculate...

Students classify rocks into groups after they observe the rocks and identify properties that can be used to divide them into groups. They then identify other properties that could be used to classify other objects into groups.

Students investigate the relationship between force and motion while conducting an experiment to answer the question,"How do objects move?". In small groups, they predict how many washers are needed to pull a bowl across a finish line.

Students build a working definition of regular fractal, look carefully at the concepts of dimension and scale, and are introduced to logarithms. They solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by trial and error and using...

Learners record the daily outdoor temperature as well as the number of minutes of sunlight per day over a determined period. They calculate the average temperature and minutes of sunlight per day and post their data on the project website.

Students use GPS and trees to explore lichens and air quality.

Students investigate the effect of different container materials on heat transfer; draws a conclusion about the best insulator; and applies concept to a new, seemingly quite different problem.
