Students are asked to use their knowledge of area and perimeter to develop a blueprint for an eco-friendly “tiny home.” The home must be innovative in design while meeting specific requirements from an architect. In order to stay within these requirements, students must monitor the area of the home, gardens, patios, and other spaces. This lesson was developed by NCDPI as part of the Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted Instructional Resources Project. This lesson plan has been vetted at the state level for standards alignment, AIG focus, and content accuracy.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach third graders about given the perimeter, find the side length and area - squares.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders how to, given the perimeter, find the side length and area - squares.

Students learn the history of the waterwheel and common uses for water turbines today. They explore kinetic energy by creating their own experimental waterwheel from a two-liter plastic bottle. They investigate the transformations of energy involved in turning the blades of a hydro-turbine into work, and experiment with how weight affects the rotational rate of the waterwheel. Students also discuss and explore the characteristics of hydroelectric plants.
