Students explore the characteristics of invertebrates in their backyards. They observe, describe, and classify specimens. They conclude with a "snail race."

Students recognize the importance of plants as they perform an experiment involving photosynthesis. Students determine the optimum wavelength of light for photosynthesis by exposing plants to different colors of light, collecting data,...

Scientists need to have mastered algebraic slope-intercept concepts in order for this lesson to be effective. They will measure and graph solar panel output as a function of the amount of radiation striking it, discovering that there is...

Solving problems on the TI graphing calculator can be quite easy. Students observe the properties of transformation of functions and create a formula for the transformation.

Learn how to investigate the change in a graph by dragging the cursor to observe the change in the function. They use the TI calculator to graph their parabola.

Solve systems of equation using graphing! In this algebra instructional activity, students use the TI to graph two lines and identify the number of solutions. They perform interactive graphing on the navigator.

Students select appropriate tools and technology to perform tests, collect data, and display data. They construct appropriate graphs from data and develop qualitative statements about the relationships between variables.

In need of some algebraic fun with real world implications?Learners use ordered pairs, a table of values and a scatter plot to evaluate the validity of several real world data sets. The class focuses on  dog ages in human...

Pupils differentiate between exponential and power functions. They identify the base, exponent and properties of exponential functions. They also graph the functions using the TI calculator.

Mathematicians analyze the relationships between surface area and volume. They conduct Internet research, conduct various experiments, record the data in a spreadsheet, and graph the results and compare the rate of increase of surface...

Fifth and sixth graders explore prime numbers. They work with a partner to build rectangular arrays using twelve tiles. Factor pairs are noted and recorded on graph paper. Pupils construct rectangular arrays with a prime number and...

Students solve problems using the TI. In this calculus lesson, students evaluate functions using sequences. They graph the functions on the TI and make observations.

In a math or life science class, "mini-me" models are created with cardstock to reflect a 1:10 scale of young scholars' bodies. Learners measure each others' heights with meter sticks, and then reduce the size by 10. After this exercise,...

Middle schoolers simulate classifying rocks using different colored skittles. In this earth science instructional activity, students create a Venn diagram according to their compiled information. They share this diagram in the class.

Pupils measure and record their height in centimeters on a graph. By integrating math and science, students collect data and apply graphing skills to the experiences they are having growing plants. Finally, pupils identify how to...

Students receive balloons representing the "Life Cycle of the Stars." As the attached script is read, students follow the directions for the color of balloon they are given. Students chart the results for their star. They plot data from...

Sixth graders weigh regular and diet soda to see which one is heavier and therefore which one contains more sugar. In this soda lesson plan, 6th graders discover that regular soda contains more sugar because it weighs more. 

Students study waves and how it erodes a beach.  In this energy lesson students complete a lab activity on waves and tides. 

Young scholars explore the scientific method.  Students identify the steps in the scientific method and explain what each step means.  Young scholars use these steps to determine if boys or girls are taller in their classroom.

Sixth graders practice computer skills. In this technology lesson, 6th graders use programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Print Shop, and PowerPoint. They use the Internet for research and data collection to be incorporated in their...

Students complete activities to study the properties of solids and liquids. For this states of matter lesson, students investigate the melting and freezing of a range of materials in a virtual experiment. Students melt the substances and...

Students study what an experiment is comprised of and how to be successful when doing an experiment.  For this experimental lesson students design their own experimental investigation and answer questions.

Students investigate how mass affects the speed of an object. For this physics lesson, students record data on the data table and graph results. They analyze findings and formulate a conclusion.

Students state the different forms of energy; and observe the effects of energy changing from one form to another (other forms) in electrical appliances.
