Young mathematicians put one foot in front of the other as they learn how to measure length in an elementary math lesson. Using paper cutouts of their own feet, children measure classroom objects as they discover the importance of...

Students sort objects and create patterns. In this sorting and graphing lesson, students work at centers to find a way to sort a group of objects, then make a graphical representation of the number of each item. Finally, students create...

Practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division using tiles as manipulatives. In this math operations lesson, young learners choose the appropriate sized tiles, arrange them according to directions given by the teacher, and...

Learners identify, compare, and analyze shapes and numbers. In this analogies and comparison math lesson, students warm up by completing 4 worksheets to familiarize themselves with analogies. In small groups, learners are challenged to...

Explore early algebra by participating in a pattern identification activity using a random assortment of different household materials. The class creates, completes, and analyzes different patterns with the help of leggos, buttons,...

Young scholars learn how to make patterns. Students first display their prior knowledge of patterns before delving into the lesson. They complete a worksheet and participate in a web-based class activity. They work in cooperative groups...

Students observe and/or conduct five experiments which address the Bernoulli Effect. In this conceptual lesson based on the Bernoulli Effect, the students construct atomizers, and make concrete observations and inferences in connection...

Creative problem solving is fun and helps kids conceptualize content. They use grid paper, manilla paper, and markers to cut, draw, and show given double-digit numbers as many ways as they can.

Venn diagrams are helpful in understanding the idea of a set and using attributes to sort items. This basic plan is an introduction with an added bonus of an applet that can be used to demonstrate the activity. If a classroom of...

Students describe the characteristics and behaviors of bats. After viewing a video, they explain how bats use echolocation to navigate and how they find their young within a group. They list four misconceptions about the animal and...

Learners recognize a globe and distinguish between land and water, as well as recognize different cultures. They become knowledgeable regarding geography and cultural diversity.

Students explore growth patterns by using manipulatives such as pattern blocks, investigate growth pattern of pattern, record growth in T-chart, describe how pattern is growing, and predict number of blocks needed to extend pattern.

Students gather scientific data and be able to utilize the data to generalize results over a long period of time. They use the appropriate tools to measure quanities of liquids and analyze the data to determine the cost of a leaky faucet.

Students identify, describe, count, tally, and graph life found in one square foot of land.
