Students read "How To Make an Apple Pie and See the World", the story of a girl who traveled the world to find the ingredients to make her apple pie. They conduct a series of interdisciplinary activities including testing their senses,...

Second graders describe and adopt behaviors for health and safety. They explore what germs are and how they can make you sick. Through graphing activities, 2nd graders examine the way germs travel and what they can do to prevent the...

Students explore the five senses and the significance of each sense. In this five senses and diversity lesson plan, students listen to You Can't Smell a Flower With Your Ear by Joanna Cole and take a walk observing opportunities to use...

Fifth graders discuss the importance of proper hygiene. After watching their teacher peel potatoes, they discuss why she was wearing rubber gloves. They demonstrate how to wash their hands properly and why one should never touch...

Students construct tangram pieces. Then they make observations and explore patterns with the pieces.

Students investigate the separation of mixtures using plant pigments. Using everyday items, they demonstrate the separation of pigments in plants through the process of chromatography.

Students investigate plant structure and the process of photosynthesis. Using everyday items, they demonstrate that the leaves and stems of plants can act like a straw. In addition, they identify plant structure.

Students define mean, median, mode and outliers. In this statistics lesson plan, students analyze data using the central tendencies. They follow a path through a maze collecting data. They analyze the data using the mean, median and mode.

Fourth graders conduct an experiment involving size and relative ability in smaller species using Madagascar cockroaches. They make predictions about how many pennies the roaches can pull, compare the results to human strength, and...

Students use gummy bears to count in this lesson. They sort the gummy bears into color groups. They then count the gummy bears in each grouping. Finally, they survey their classmates' favorite color of gummy bears and record this...

Students create nets of cylinders. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate the surface area of cylinders and other solids. They show their understanding of three-dimensional shapes by solving problems.

Students sketch and create nets of different polygons.In this geometry lesson, students differentiate prisms from other three-dimensional shapes. They define the properties of prisms.

Students duplicate the method that Archimedes used to estimate the value of pi. They complete a data table and find the approximate values of pi for three sets of polygons.

Second graders discover what magnets can do. In this magnet lesson students make predictions about magnets. They experiment with the magnets and record their data on a chart.

Students conduct an experiment to determine the distance between touch receptor fields in parts of the right-hand side of the body. They enter data into the data table.

Students add integers using a number line. In this algebra lesson plan, students add one and two digit integers. They compare zero pairs and the addition of integers.

Students explore aerodynamics and Bernoulli's principle by devising ways to keep bubbles aloft.

Sixth graders examine mold with a microscope. In this micro-organisms lesson plan, 6th graders use teacher-prepared mold samples to prepare a wet-mount slide and examine the mold under a microscope then draw and label what they see.

Students explore their senses. In this biology lesson plan, students will learn about their senses, what affects them, and how the brain works to control our senses in a series of lab activities.

Second graders investigate the meaning of temperature. They determine what happens to a thermometer when the temperature rises or falls. They place thermometers in different classroom locations in order to compare the temperature in a...
