Lesson Plans - 9th Grade

Hubble Telescope

The student will be able to present a PowerPoint presentation defending their opinion that either money should be spent on a telescope like Hubble or it should be used for immediate needs here on earth.

Creatively Creating Expository Essays

The student uses volume, stress, pacing, enunciation, eye contact, and gestures that meet the needs of the audience and topic.

Continuation of the Revolution

This is Lesson 2 in the Industrial Times unit. Students research information on inventions that occurred during the second part of the Industrial Revolution. They write and publish articles on a selected invention.

The first typewriter patent was awarded in 1868.

The invention of the typewriter led to the keyboards on the computers of today. Show your class a computer and a typewriter or two if you can find significantly different typewriters, such as a manual one and an electric one. Begin an inquiry-based study that compares typewriters to computers. Students can talk about everything from the appearance of the two tools to the way that one gets the final, finished product (a piece of paper with alphanumeric figures on it) to the different ways that they might use the two machines if they were composing a paper. As a conclusion to the project, ask students to hypothesize about how the shift from typewriters to computers changes the way that work is done.

That’s a Good Idea!

Students learn about the patent process in the United States.
