Amazing amaryllis activities: Students will use an amaryllis started from a bulb to explore the growth of the plant, measure, record and compare the growth of the leaves and the flower. They will enter the data on a spreadsheet and convert it into a graph.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2–3 Mathematics and Science); By Mary Rizzo.

Animals move!: This plan introduces students to the different ways animals move.; Format: lesson plan (grade K Healthful Living and Mathematics); By Michelle Tesiero.

Birds of a feather: Collecting and analyzing bird feeder data: In this lesson, students prepare frequency tables and construct a circle graph of the species of birds observed at bird feeders.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–7 Mathematics); By Vicky Smathers.

Body graphing: "Body Graphing" is an interactive graphing activity involving manipulatives to compare graphing results. With the use of ropes and unifix cubes students will learn to compare and contrast their body with classmates. The graphing activity can be extended to graph differences with height, hair and eye color, and other physical attributes.; Format: lesson plan (grade K–1 Mathematics); By patsy morgan.

Bouncing ball experiment: In this experiment students should be in groups of 3. Students will drop a ball from different heights and measure the corresponding bounce. Since each group will use a different ball, they will generate different sets of data. They will be asked to discuss and compare their linear function with that of their classmates. They should practice measuring the ball bounce before they begin to collect data.; Format: lesson plan (grade 8–12 Mathematics); By alicia jones.

Building a paper bridge: An introduction to problem solving: This activity allows the student to explore problem solving strategies while working with a partner. This activity (building a paper bridge), requires students to question word definition and the application of those definitions. Through problem solving strategies, students discover the need for applying math skills.; Format: lesson plan (grade 8 Mathematics); By Steve Walston.

Chocolate! Chocolate! Chocolate!: Using chocolate as a theme, students will become involved in reading, writing, math, word study/spelling and other developmentally appropriate (integrated) activities. The unit includes centers for the classroom along with whole group activities.; Format: lesson plan (grade K–1 English Language Arts and Mathematics); By Luwonna Oakes.

Easter egg math: Using colored Easter eggs, students will sort by color, count eggs, and graph data.; Format: lesson plan (grade K Mathematics); By Marie Messer.

Ecuador: A study of population: In this lesson, students will create population pyramid graphs and analyze photographs to investigate population in Ecuador. Students will draw on this analysis to make predictions about how population issues will affect Ecuador's future. The lesson plan is designed to be adapted to the study of various countries.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–7 English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies); By Eric Eaton.

Geometry and art: Art museum post-visit: This is the third lesson in a three-part unit integrating math, writing and visual arts. In this integrated lesson, students apply their knowledge of geometry by organizing and displaying information in graphs with correct labeling. Students then compare and analyze graphs. Finally, with this information students create a geometric design.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1–2 Visual Arts Education and Mathematics); By Loretta Hopper.

Good medicine: Students will examine changes in technology, medicine, and health that took place in North Carolina between 1870 and 1930 and construct products and ideas which demonstrate understanding of how these changes impacted people living in North Carolina at that time. To achieve these goals, students will employ the eight intelligences of Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences Theory.; Format: lesson plan (grade 8 English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies); By Leslie Ramsey.
