- Area of solids
- Finding area of rectangular solids and cylinders by cutting them into flat pieces and adding the areas.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 7–12 Mathematics)
- By Dorothy Carawan.
- A geometric field trip
- Students conduct a field trip around the school (inside and out) looking for examples of geometric shapes. They record their findings using a digital camera and present their findings in a multimedia presentation.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Computer/Technology Skills, Information Skills, and Mathematics)
- By Mary Rizzo.
- Painted cylindrical sculptures
- Students will experiment painting a variety of lines as directed in addition to inventing their own on 12" x 18" paper. Students will also glue pre-cut paper strips onto their sculptures experimenting with a variety of paper sculpture techniques such as bending, folding and curling.
- Format: lesson plan (grade K–1 Visual Arts Education and Mathematics)

- Dear Tootsie Roll company
- The students will measure the surface area and wrapper area of five pieces of candy. Using appropriate formulas and measuring techniques, they will complete information needed for a spreadsheet and database. Students wrap up the lesson by writing a letter to the company with the most wasted paper to explain how the waste affects them as consumers and a suggestion for correcting the problem.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8 English Language Arts and Mathematics)
- By Tonya Thompson.
- Does it float? Exploring density
- Density is a property of matter that requires abstract understanding from your students. This lesson plan is a hands-on lab for exploring the concepts of mass, volume, density, and their relationship. This lab achieves several 8th grade science objectives and incorporates mathematical objectives as well. The lab can easily be used as an introductory lab for the year, thus covering not only the content objectives, but also procedures for completing labs throughout the course of the year.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8 Science)
- By Trish Loudermilt.
- Exploring properties of matter with submersibles
- This inquiry-based learning activity allows students to explore the relationships between mass, volume, density, and buoyancy as they manipulate various materials to construct a submersible “vehicle” for deep-sea research.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8 Science)
- By Miriam Sutton.
- Submarines: Using mass, volume and density to create a working submarine
- The students will design a submarine that will float, subsurface, sink, and return once again to the water's surface by external manipulation of the submarine outside of an aquarium. In order to accomplish this, the students will use not only the concepts of mass, volume, and density but will also integrate buoyancy and ballast in their submarine design.
