- Name that point!
- In Intrigue of the Past, page 4.4
- In their study of projectile points (i.e., spear points or “arrowheads”) dating to the Archaic period in North Carolina, students use activity sheets to compare projectile point attributes and to identify and classify points based on clearly defined variables. They will also match projectile points to a chronology and determine when the points were made and why the information is important to archaeologists.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 4 and 6 Social Studies)
- Name that tune!
- This is a student/parent assignment. The students will perform selected lines from their band method books, and their parents (or responsible adults) will listen and try to name the tune.

- Ohm's Law made easy with a spreadsheet
- In this lesson, students will use math word problems to help them input information into a spreadsheet that will use Ohm's law to calculate current and resistance using common household appliance wattages.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 6–9 Computer/Technology Skills, Mathematics, and Science)
- By Hilda Hamilton.
- Paper cup challenge
- In Design technology: Children's engineering, page 1.2
- In this lesson, students are challenged to redesign the classic paper cup so that no tape, glue, or staples are necessary. This will reduce production costs and so lower the cost of the paper cups. Each pair of students will be given a stack of paper to design a new paper container that can hold water for a short period of time.

- By Erin Denniston.
- Pattern writing using nouns and adjectives
- In this lesson plan, students will think and write creatively using nouns and adjectives. They will experience all phases of the writing process.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 3 and 6 English Language Arts)
- By Susan S. Craver.
- Percent problem solving
- Students apply their knowledge of fractions, decimals, and percents to understand the relationship amongst the three. Students will solve basic percent number problems using the percent proportion or other methods and play a game using a resource of the Shodor Education Foundation, Inc. Permission has been granted to use the materials as part of the Interactivate Your Bored Math Students workshop. Students will also analyze and explain the results of their game by answering two exploration questions.

- Phi: The divine proportion
- In CareerStart lessons: Grade six, page 2.5
- The "divine ratio" is valued by designers, artists, and architects because of its interesting and and unique properties. In this lesson for grade six, students learn about this ratio and use it to create a work of art.

- By Jack Hunter.
- Planets' relative gravity spreadsheet
- The students use online resources to find information about the eight planets in our solar system. Then, using the relative gravity of each planet, they will create a spreadsheet to calculate what the weight of an average man and woman (possibly their own weight or the weight of other objects) would be on each of the planets.

- By Susan Blevins.
- Planned ignoring
- This lesson introduces a part of a behavioral intervention plan which I have found to be indispensable across all subject areas with students with behavioral disabilities. It teaches specific behaviors that children need to display in order to remain on task when others around them "act out" and are disruptive.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Guidance)
- By Rita Lawrence.
- Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally
- Students will learn and practice the correct order of operations. The lesson will begin with a motivational group-art activity. Students will then take notes and do a "pass the paper" activity for practice. This will be followed by students creating their own problems.

- By Shirley Powell.
- Poetry from prose: A different kind of "book report"
- Students use a word-processing program to write a poem that summarizes important themes or events central to the plot of a novel. Once the poem is proofread, students type the poem according to specific directions. They then print their work and illustrate over or around the writing for an illustrated "book report." Students incorporate details from the novel in their writing and in their illustrations of their poems. In this way, students focus on the themes or events in the novel that appeal to them most -- the ones they feel are most important to the novel's meaning.

- Point of view
- Students will consider how point of view affects the meaning and interpretation of a work of art. They will view a sculpture of a Palmyran woman dated between 150-170 C.E. Students will consider three different points of view, analyze each of these views, and discuss what aspects of the sculpture would be highlighted and neglected when considering these different points of view.

- By Amanda Keller.
- POP!
- In Design technology: Children's engineering, page 2.2
- In this lesson, students will begin to build an understanding of heat energy by popping a kernel of popcorn in oil. Relying on their own thinking and problem-solving skills, they will create data tables and decide what observations to record.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 6 Science)
- By Erin Denniston.
- Popcorn math
- In this lesson students will use a consumable manipulative to understand percent, fraction and decimal conversions. They will also collect data on a teacher produced spreadsheet while using a computer generated spreadsheet to make conversions.
