Students become familiar with their five senses and how their experiences would change without them.  In this observations lesson, students observe using their five senses in a garden.  Students illustrate what they've observed...

Students examine types of plant structure. In this plant biology lesson, students observe various types of plants, such as ivy and grapes, and discuss the differences in structure. Additionally, students plant sugar snap peas, using a...

Second graders study and examine the structure of a flower.  In this pollination lesson, 2nd graders observe pollinators in the garden and dissect a flower. Students then plant strawberry plants in the garden and observe the process...

Students discover how seed germination varies according to the soil type. In this soil science lesson, students discuss what plants need in order to grow and investigate various types of soil. Students use their senses to describe each...

Fifth graders test plants in the dark and in the light to see which grows better and produces more carbon dioxide. For this plants lesson plan, 5th graders also create ways for plants to go through photosynthesis that they can observe.

First graders explore natural resources and search outdoors to find materials to create a bird's nest. In this bird's natural resources lesson, 1st graders listen to a book about birds and reflect on the various things birds use to...

Fourth graders experiment with compost. In this Science lesson, 4th graders begin a worm compost as well as an outdoor compost. Students discuss decomposition.

Students smash plant parts and wait for visibility of chlorophyl to show why plants turn green. In this green plants lesson plan, students use acetone and filter paper for this experiment.

Fifth graders conduct experiments involving plants. In this science lesson, 5th graders design an experiment involving plants. Students use the scientific method to design their experiments.

Second graders examine the parts of a flower and how pollination occurs. In this flowers and pollination lesson, 2nd graders examine the parts of a flower with a hand lens focusing on the pollen. They watch as a pollinator such as a...

Students experiment with differently shaped mirrors. For this reflection and optics lesson, students investigate the visual effects of reflected images in mirrors. They use plane, cylindrical, and concave mirrors for the activity.

Students discover the properties of chlorophyll in plants. In this plant biology lesson plan, students conduct an experiment to find where the chlorophyll in the plant is located. Students are split into small groups and study plant...

Students demonstrate knowledge of sorting and classifying by color as they sort gummy bear candies.

Students solve problems using geometric means. In this geometry lesson, students create altitudes in right triangles. They use Cabri software to move the triangle around and observe different sides and angles.

Student identify the solution using geometric mean. In this geometry lesson, students create right triangles where the altitude of the triangle is the side containing the right angle. They modify shapes using Cabri software and observe...

Learners calculate the slope of parallel and perpendicular lines.In this algebra lesson plan, students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. They graph their lines using the slope of the equation.

Students find the slopes for perpendicular and parallel lines. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. They use Cabri software to create lines to compare.

Seventh graders relate the Pythagorean theorem to the real world. In this algebra lesson, 7th graders identify important properties of the Pythagorean theorem and use it to solve word problems. They create a step by step plan to...

First graders grow radishes. In this Science lesson, 1st graders observe the growth of radishes in both the light and dark. Students discuss what plants need to live.

Third graders explore animal characteristics by participating in a bat environment game. In this natural habitat lesson, 3rd graders identify the physical anatomy of a bat and discuss their eating and sleeping habits. Students conduct a...

Learners observe how reflections differ in various types of mirrors. In this reflection lesson, students use cylindrical mirrors, plane mirrors, and concave mirrors to observe how each reflects the student's face.
