- 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.
- Surface area of rectangular prisms
- In CareerStart lessons: Grade seven, page 2.5
- In this lesson for grade seven, students calculate the surface area of flattened cardboard boxes and discuss how the concept of surface area is important in various careers.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Mathematics)
- By Peggy Dickey and Barbara Turner.Adapted by Sharon Abell.
- Giving meaning to volume and surface area
- This lesson is designed to help students give meaning to volume and surface area by solving problems using a meaningful situation rather than formulas.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8 Mathematics)
- By Grayson Wheatley.
- Maritime forest
- In Evidence of rising sea level: Coastal erosion and plant community changes, page 13
- Pine forests are not the only type of forest that salt marshes can invade during periods of rising sea level. Figure 12 shows a salt marsh in an area between beach ridges on Bogue Banks extending laterally into a maritime forest of live oaks and other hardwoods....

- How do hurricanes form?
- In Hurricanes on sandy shorelines: Lessons for development, page 2
- Hurricanes begin when areas of low atmospheric pressure move off Africa and into the Atlantic, where they grow and intensify in the moisture-laden air above the warm tropical ocean. Air moves toward these atmospheric lows from all directions and curves to...

- 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.
- Juicy Juice Box
- Students will be able to use their knowledge of volume and surface area through this fun, hands-on activity.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Mathematics)
- By Sheila Martin.
- Investigating surface area
- This is a hands on lesson best used to introduce geometry students to 3-dimensional figures. Students will have the opportunity to draw 3-dimensionally and create collapsible figures which can be used to develop the standard surface area formulas.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Mathematics)
- By Jennifer Bronzini.
- Salt marsh grass
- In Small sand volume barrier islands: Environmental processes and development risks, page 7
- Figure 5 shows an isolated patch of salt marsh grass that was recently covered with overwashed beach sand. Note that the plants seem to be flourishing. This is characteristic of plants that live successfully in areas where sand is regularly added and removed...

- After the burn
- In Forests and fires: The longleaf pine savanna, page 11
- Figure 10 shows the forest after the controlled burn illustrated in Figures 8 and 9. There are now signs of wire grasses here because the stems have been burned, but the roots and rhizomes are alive and well under the soil surface. Look back at
- By Dirk Frankenberg.
- Mid-tide beach
- In Small sand volume barrier islands: Environmental processes and development risks, page 5
- Figure 3 shows the mid-tide beach with evidence of recent accretion of sand to the upper beach. Look closely at the beach profile and you will see that the surface is slightly higher and more covered with shells both above and below the relatively shell-free...

- Developing salt marsh
- In Evidence of rising sea level: Coastal erosion and plant community changes, page 12
- In case you were doubtful that salt marshes can really invade and take over forested areas, I have included Figure 11 to lay these doubts to rest. In this photograph you will see a developing salt marsh with the trunks and roots of the preexisting forest still...

- Math problems for grade 8 geometry
- In Problem centered math, page 6
- Problem sets in PDF format that address objectives of the Measurement and Geometry strands of the North Carolina Standard Course of Study for Mathematics, Grade 8.
- By Grayson Wheatley.
- CareerStart lessons: Grade seven
- This collection of lessons aligns the seventh grade curriculum in math, science, English language arts, and social studies with potential career opportunities.
- Format: (multiple pages)
- Map of North Carolina river basins
- A river basin encompasses all the land surface drained by many finger-like streams and creeks flowing downhill into one another and eventually into one river, which forms its artery and backbone. As a bathtub catches all the water that falls within its sides...
- Format: image/map
- Inside, outside, and all around
- Students will distinguish between perimeter, area, and volume. They will use tangrams and graph paper to create two-dimensional figures that will be measured for area and perimeter. By creating layers of centimeter cubes, the students will explore the concept of volume.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 4–5 Mathematics)
- By Angeli Jarman.
- What is a wetland, and why do we have so many types?
- In Wetlands of the coastal plains, page 2
- The legal definition of a wetland has become controversial as wetlands have gained a measure of protection from uncontrolled ditching and draining. This protection has been accorded them as their role in sustaining high water quality and wildlife habitat has...

- Paint tools & geometric figures
- This lesson is meant to teach or review for third grade students the use of Paint tools. These tools are generic to many multimedia tools such as HyperStudio and Kid Pix. For the student who is unfamiliar with "Paint," it provides another tool of expression and illustration.
This lesson is also designed to reinforce geometry math skills. This ability to illustrate a three dimensional object on a flat one dimensional surface is important to enable the student to visualize geometry math problems. - Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Computer/Technology Skills and Mathematics)
- By Barbara Waters.
- Analyzing North Carolina's natural history
- In Two worlds: Educator's guide, page 1.4
- These two short activities will allow students to examine the changes that occurred as the earth formed and assess their impact on what is now North Carolina.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8 Science and Social Studies)
- By Pauline S. Johnson.
- Snakes are cool
- This lesson begins with a reading of Verdi by Janell Cannon. It integrates science with language arts as the students learn about snakes and write about their findings.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 1 English Language Arts and Science)
- By Marcia Reich.
