Students model how the bones in a bat wing are organized. They develop questions about bat body parts based on photographs. They hypothesize how bats locate their food.

Students understand how various cell parts function and how they are related to the genetic process by creating a model and symbol to depict the function of the cell parts. They research a cell part to determine function and then cut...

Second graders identify the major contributions of ancient Egypt, including architectural monuments, e.g. the pyramids and Sphinx. They study the function of the pyramids as tombs for the Pharaohs.

Learners describe graphically, algebraically and verbally real-world phenomena as functions; identify the independent and the dependent variable. They translate among graphic, algebraic, and verbal representations of relations and graph...

Sixth graders analyze the components of the respiratory system. In this respiratory system lesson plan, 6th graders participate in hands on experiments and activities to identify the functions of the major organs of the respiratory system.

Students extract their own DNA from cheek cells. For this biology instructional activity, students explain the replication process. They identify the structure and composition of DNA.

Fifth graders examine the stages of the continuous water cycle that exists on Earth. They observe a water cycle model that is set up in the classroom and write descriptions of what they see. As a class, they discuss models of the water...

Students discuss what happens to the trash in their home. They talk about what would happen if they didn't remove the trash. Students relate their home trash to the excretory system of their bodies. They label a diagram of the urinary...

Seventh graders study how the heart functions and its parts.  In this circulatory system instructional activity students learn how to take their pulse, blood pressure and respiration. 

Students graph quadratic equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students relate the parabola to real life applications. They identify the maximum and minimum of the parabola.

Students study and identify the structures and functions of animal cells.

Seventh graders analyze and identify the role of the cell membrane and nucleus. They create flash cards to help them review cell structures. They also compare plant and animal cells.

Students research information about the human body. They read books and explore the Internet to gather information about the human body. Students create graphic representations and models of the body systems. Working in groups, they...

Learners identify the different steps involved in DNA transcription. In this genetics lesson, pupils complete a worksheet and model the translation process with a paper chain activity. They watch a video on sickle cell anemia and explain...

Third graders identify various types of landforms of the United States. They discuss earth movements that produce geologic structures and landforms and define cycle as it relates to rocks and soil. They demonstrate the processes forming...

Students determine how changes in the coefficients in a quadratic function affect its graph. They Solve a quadratic equations. Students Determine how to use the equation to determine the intercepts of a quadratic function. They...

Students explore the concept of the corner problem. In this corner problem lesson plan, students use the TI-NSpire to determine the maximum length a rod can be and still pass horizontally around a corner. Students use similar triangles...

High schoolers examine the concept of osmosis in relation to dehydration. They identify the function and structure of semi-permable membranes. They predict how certain processes can affect the characteristics of an organism.

Fourth graders investigate repeating and growing patterns. Models, graphs and words are used to describe, extend and represent patterns. Students use evidence from models and graphs to support the identification of patterns.

For this sheep brain lab, students identify the internal and external anatomy of a sheep's brain. Students complete several tables describing the function of given structures. Students also label the brain with 5 chosen structures.

Students evaluate the six trigonometric values of a trig function. In this trigonometry lesson, students use the Unit Circle to find the values of right triangles and their angles. They identify an angle of elevation and...

Students plot on a coordinate plane. In this algebra lesson, students identify points on a coordinate plane and graph lines given coordinate pairs. They create a model as they study bald eagles and their growth and decay.
