Students participate in a discussion about the basics of house design including the influence of site, materials, function, form and style. They explore these concepts by creating a floor plan and conceptual drawing of a house.

Students study different aspects of worms along with the process of vermicomposting by participating in a class experiment to study the time it takes for breakfast cereal to be eaten by worms.

Seventh graders conduct year long study of water quality over different seasons using variety of probes, including D.O., pH, conductivity and temperature, that are attached to portable technology. Students select three data points in...

Students analyze interior design as a profession. For this interior design lesson, students design their own dream bedroom and explore interior design as a profession. Students draw a scaled drawing using graph paper and appropriate...

Learners examine the characteristics of a South American tropical rainforest. They analyze maps, develop graphs, listen to the book, The Great Kapok Tree, and create a rainforest mural.

Ninth graders measure the insulation properties of different fabrics by immersing cans of water covered with fabric "socks" in an ice bath and measuring temperature changes. They then calculate heat loss and graph the data individually.

Students are introduced to the nine planets and countless moons of the solar system. Using the internet, they research one of the planets to determine if a manned mission to the planet would be possible. They share their information...

Students identify the differences in local soil types and the relationship between soil size and water retention. They are introduced to microenvironmental conditions in ecosystem sustainability.

Students explore anatomy and physiology using various activities. In this biology lesson, students reasearch about medical radiation and its applications. They study cell cycle, cell division and other processes that sustain life.

Students explore the methods of calculating percentages, reading and the construction of graphs, and an awareness of consumer concerns in this lesson. The movement of the decimal point often results in uncertainty and confusion. This...

Young scholars 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. Young scholars chart the results for their star. They...

Students use laptops and sensors to measure water quality and graph their results.  In this aquatics lesson plan students post their results to a website or email. 

Students design their own Science experiment. In this science experiment lesson students create a hypothesis related to matter and test it. They displayed their data in a graph.

Students will work cooperatively. In this environmental lesson plan, students will start by discussing an article and its questions prior to receiving a handout. There are two versions of the handout depending if your students are AP or...

High schoolers explore the concept of linear functions. In this linear functions lesson, students translate linear functions from tables to graphs to equations. High schoolers use an applet to write a function rule for a linear...

Pupils explain normal distribution of a measurable characteristic within a group of objects. They create two graphs (one for each type of Hershey's Kiss) with increments of measurement on the X-axes and number of measurements on the Y-axes.

Young scholars identify locations of rainforests, compare/contrast layers of the rainforest, construct and interpret maps and graphs, recognize relationships between man and the environment, and write about an imaginary walk in the...

Students explore the concept of a quadrat study. Students select and investigate a site and conduct a quadrat survey. They take measurements, observe the area and analyze their findings.

Students work together to test the strengths of various types of magnets. After testing, they create a graph showing how the strength changes as the distance from the magnet increases. They discuss how forces can act from various...

Students use Skittles candies as they explore estimation and percentages. In this math lesson plan, students sort, count, and chart Skittles candies to learn about estimation and study percentages.

Students make multiplication squares. For this math lesson, students review their multiplication facts and multiplication strategies. Students are introduced to multiplication squares when multiplying a number by itself.

Students study hearing testing and explore frequency and tone.  In this hearing impairment lesson students complete several activities including one that graphs audio-grams in younger and older people. 

Students perform transformations and translation on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students move shapes around on a graph identifying translation, image, and transformation. This lesson has an interactive part online that...

Learners are introduced to the Canadian forest industry so that they may assess the economic and environmental sustainability of the industry.
