What better way to engage children in a math lesson than by talking about ice cream? Using a pocket chart or piece of chart paper, the class works together creating a bar graph of the their favorite ice cream flavors. Learners then work...

Students explore the concept of making ice cream. In this ice cream lesson, students convert an ice cream recipe from metric units to English units. Students then make ice cream from the recipe they converted.

Your learners will be tantalized by this inquiry-based, collaborative activity as they discover how to write an equation that represents the height of an ice cream cone. Given the scenario based on the poem, "Eighteen Flavors," and...

Student examine the physical changes of matter and are able to describe them. They make ice cream in plastic bags to observe the changes in matter. They describe and record the changes in the ice cream mixture as it freezes.

High schoolers explore the formulas for volume of three-dimensional objects. They participate in various activities involving ice cream, ice cream cones, small candies, and gum balls, recording their calculations on a lab sheet.

Tenth graders pretend to set up an ice cream shop in a make believe town of shapes.  In this geometry lesson, 10th graders work together to put up an ice cream stand in an ideal location and solve for the minimum given the...

Young scholars analyze earth science by creating a frozen treat in class. In this heat transfer lesson, students discuss how matter is transformed from solid to liquid and liquid to gas when energy is removed from the equation. Young...

Who knew there were pyramids in China? Learners apply surface area and volume formulas to several different real-world situations. They calculate the volume and surface area of an aquarium, an ice cream cone, and Egyptian and Chinese...

Students perform an experiment. In this combinations lesson, students complete an experiment where they find out how many ice cream cone combinations they can make with 5 different flavors of ice cream and 4 types of cones. They design a...

Students explore the properties of matter.  In this cross curriculum three states of matter science lesson, students listen to the poem "Eighteen Flavors" by Shel Silverstein, and predict what will happen if listed ingredients are...

Be sure to look both ways when making a two-way table. In the lesson plan, scholars learn to create two-way tables to display bivariate data. They calculate relative frequencies to answer questions of interest in the 14th part of the...

Tenth graders pretend to set up an ice cream shop in a make believe town of shapes.  In this geometry lesson plan, 10th graders work together to put up an ice cream stand in an ideal location and solve for the minimum given the shapes.

Students discuss why it can be difficult to solve word problems. For this algorithm lesson, students review better methods to outline word problems and solve the problem of the Ice Cream Stands. They discuss how the name Brute Force...

High schoolers explore displacement. In this displacement and density lesson, pupils find the volume of irregular shaped objects. Afterward, they determine the volume of containers. They compute the amount of water displacement.

Here is a set of lessons that explore conics in a number of different ways. Starting with modeling how a conic is produced by the way a plane cuts the cone, to solving complex word problems, algebra learners progress through a series of...

Students explore human senses. For this applied Science lesson, students utilize their senses to distinguish various objects. Students explain their descriptions.

Students explore how numbers can identify objects. In this math lesson, students determine how numbers are used to describe objects used in quantitative data collection.

Students read books, learn about the letter f, play with plastic toys, and more to do with frogs. In this frogs lesson plan, students also play a game of leap frog.

Learners read books, learn about the letter c, and eat with clown noses on to learn about clowns. In this clowns lesson plan, students also have a parade where they dress like clowns.

Students explore world geography by analyzing agriculture. In this dietary habits lesson, students discuss the role parents play in their children's diet and where the food comes from. Students write agricultural research paragraphs and...

Study customary measurements with your sixth graders. They will investigate linear and capacity measurements to then measure and convert linear and capacity units. Finally they will work in small groups to conduct experiments. Resources...

Third graders practice creating bar graphs by conducting a taste test.  For this graphing lesson, 3rd graders taste several different brands of peanut butter and discuss among their classmates which tastes better.  Students...

Sixth graders compare and contrast two-dimensional shapes to three-dimensional shapes. After watching a demonstration, they make their own shapes using nets printed on paper. To end the lesson, they use the shapes they made and...

Students draw a line graph, and use graphing as a tool to discover more about conduction, convection and radiation. They should design their own experiment using heat sensitive paper to show they explain these 3 processes.
