Animals and Engineering
(View Complete Item Description)Students are introduced to the classification of animals and animal interactions. Students also learn why engineers need to know about animals and how they use that knowledge to design technologies that help other animals and/or humans. This lesson is part of a series of six lessons in which students use their growing understanding of various environments and the engineering design process, to design and create their own model biodome ecosystems.

Artistic Angles
(View Complete Item Description)In this lesson plan, students will use protractors to measure angles and draw angles of a specific measure. Students will also use an angle wheel as a way to measure the degrees of an angle. Finally students will study artistic prints and find an angle within the picture to measure and then discuss why they used the measure in the artwork.

Bias Sampling
(View Complete Item Description)Students learn about sampling bias by working in three separate groups to survey students, parents, and teachers about the amount of homework students ought to have. They report and compare the responses from each of the three groups to see how the results differ. Activity sheets, discussion questions, ideas for assessment and extensions, and Internet links are included.
