Students examine the history behind the frisbee and how Bernoulli's principle and Newton's law plays a role.  In this flight lesson students complete an experiment on how the rim of a frisbee effects flight. 

Students explain how a Frisbee flies, why it's shaped he way it is and how fast and how far the Frisbee can go.

Students study how to calculate momentum, kinetic, and potential energy. They apply each form of energy to real world situations including demonstrations, watching videos, and designing a Power Point presentation. They investigate in...

Learners explore pi. In this circle measurement lesson, students define and identify radius, diameter, circumference, and perimeter. Learners work in groups to measure several plastic lids and record their findings. Students compare the...

Fifth graders perform experiments to determine the identity of an unknown gas sample. In this chemistry instructional activity, 5th graders fill balloons with air, oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. They use mass and reactivity to...

Students determine the biodiversity in a variety of different areas. They record everything they can about their site- including drawing a picture of all the different plants they see in their hula hoop, in the circle on their page.

Students investigate the physics of flight through various experiments. In this physics lesson plan, students construct different flying objects. They explain the dynamics that make these object fly.

Students are introduced to the concept of balance. In groups, they travel between eight stations in which they balance their own body and different types of balls. To end the instructional activity, they share which one was the hardest...

Students participate in a variety of manipulative skills in cross-curricular activities (dramatic play, reading, problem solving) to improve creativity and health education.

Students investigate the math concept of Pi (specifically, what pi is, the significance and how it is used in the real world). This is a hands on lesson in which the students actively participate with their investigations. The...

Fourth graders discuss the myth of Galileo's experiments in which he threw items out the leaning Tower of Pisa to find out how fast they fell and predict what they think could happen when the two items listed on the same line are dropped...

Fourth graders are introduced and experiment with the concept of pi. Using this information, they discover the relationship between the circumference and diameter of circles. In groups, they practice measuring the circumference of...

Students compare sedentary lifestyles to active lifestyles. In this health lesson, students discuss the implications of different kinds of lifestyles, complete a worksheet, then participate in a physical activity.

Students measure muzzle velocity, and predict range of a projectile device.  In this motion lesson students complete a lab and explain the outcomes of their experiments.
