Identifying Geometric Solids
After reading a short passage that identifies different types of geometric solids, kids answer a series of questions using information found in the article.
Science 4 Inquiry
Journey Through the Spheres of the Earth
Each of the Earth's spheres interacts with the other spheres in predictable ways. Young scientists explore these interactions through a hands-on activity, graphing, and watching a video. They summarize their knowledge in a video or...
