Pythagoras’ Kite
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade
Let's go fly a kite! During this on-site lesson, students will go kite flying at the spot where Wilbur and Orville first flew. Students will then apply their knowledge of the Pythagorean Theorem to determine how high they flew their kite. Subject:Mathematics. Grades: Upper Middle School (6th-8th).
Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area
Chattahoochee's Cold Water Fisheries
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade
Trout streams are particularly susceptible to thermal pollution, because they need to maintain cold temperatures year round. Trout streams are either well shaded or receive cold groundwater inputs. Artificial tailwater fisheries may be created at the outflow from large dams, where the size of the reservoir creates a steep temperature difference, with colder water stored at the bottom of the reservoir near the outlet. The Chattahoochee River below Buford Dam is an example of a tailwater fishery.

The First Four Flights--Math Up!
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Upper Elementary: Third Grade through Fifth Grade
This lesson plan will allow students to understand the path that led to the Wrights' success on December 17, 1903 by relating the stories of their interest in flying from youth, the growing interest in flight in the late 1890s and the flight experiments that led to their first flights in 1903. The story of their dream to fly will be used as a backdrop for students to solve relevant mathematical problems and connect with Wright Brothers National Memorial.

Acadia National Park
Canada Goose Migration
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Upper Elementary: Third Grade through Fifth Grade
Many bird populations migrate, and the most common pattern involves flying north in the spring to breed in the temperate or Arctic summer, then returning in the fall to wintering grounds in warmer regions to the south. The longer days of the northern summer provide greater opportunities for breeding birds to feed their young. Many northern-breeding ducks, geese, and swans also are migrants, but need only to move from their northern breeding grounds far enough south to escape frozen waters.

Native species are those that reached the islands without the help of people. Many of our native plants and animals occur nowhere else in the world! In this activity, students learn how the different characters (species) in the story could reach the isolated Hawaiian Islands. The class is divided into the different ways that species arrived (4 groups): fly, swim, ride on the wind, and waves. As the story is read, students try to figure out how each new plant or animal reached the island.
