Students solve an environmental problem on a local river. They use their knowledge of river ecology to develop an action plan. They use river-monitoring equipment to collect river- monitoring data, including biological, physical, and...

Young scholars work together to create a timeline of the history of the American flag. They attach pictures of presidents, flags and other illustrations. They create the timeline in red, white and blue to represent the flag itself.

Sixth graders identify characteristics of preserved artifact, distinguish between an example and non-example of a preserved artifact, and connect the definition of preserve to the Egyptian art of mummification.

Students play a PowerPoint activity to be used as a review of basic skills for order of operations, and the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division for whole numbers, some fractional numbers and integers....

Second graders discuss experiences of watching a rocket launch either on television or in person before making paper rockets. They make and color rockets which they attempt to launch using a strong breath blown through a straw at the...

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.

Students research tree leaves. In this tree leaves lesson, students observe, measure, and sort tree leaves. Students examine leaves individually, in groups, and in relationship to the entire tree.

Third graders examine the concept of work as the movement of an object through a distance. They define gravity and determine what type of work is caused by gravity. They measure how far an object is moved by a force. They make a...

Students use, read and write with metric units. They practice converting from larger to smaller units. Afterwards, they construct a scale drawing of a bridge. In addition, they construct these two designs, using the same scale of 1cm to...

Young scholars recognize methods used to define the mole. After converting various quantities to the mole, students provide a context for understanding the usefulness of scientific notation and the mole.

Second graders determine the total value of a collection of coins. They convert money and make money exchanges. Students create and solve money-story problems. They demonstrate the ability to summarize conversations and discussions.

Fourth graders measure cups, quarts, and liters.

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.

Learners estimate and accurately measure the size of angles communicate with the appropriate geometric terms and symbols to describe and name angles, lines, line segments, rays

Students work together to complete an experiment calculating the amount of board footage in a tree. They record their data and answer questions at the end of the lesson. They create their own hypothesis as well.

Fourth graders engage in and explore to develop mathematical, specifically algebraic, ideas. Although the tasks are built around measurement, they are algebraic to the extent that they require 'formulae' to be derived form the geometric...

Students 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.

Students measure and record the mass of the nut to be tested to the nearest 0.01 gram.

Students 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.

Third graders study the diet of the brine shrimp. This is an introduction to a math measurement of a micrometer because of the size of the food brine shrimp feed upon. They make predictions about the types of food shrimp eat based on...

Students are introduced to the topics of electric currents and resistance. In groups, they distinguish the difference between conventional and electron flows and state Ohm's Law for electrical components. They calculate the resistance of...

Pupils create a mural that displays symbols for their home state. They complete worksheets and read a book about their state. They collect images of the state flower, tree and bird for the mural. There are 5 other lesson plans included...

Students explore the impact of groundwater pollution on health. They examine the carcinogenic contaminants and their possible sources. Students develop methods to lessen or eliminate the pollutants from the environment.

In this elementary math worksheet, 4th graders practice solving problems for reviewing the concepts of number sentences, numeration, and geometry.
