Students identify three states of matter and recognize plasma as fourth state. They provide examples of matter that are classified in particular state and identify properties of each state of matter.

Students use streaming videos, web sites, and hands on activities students to explore matter. They focus on how temperature affects matter and what the particles look like in the states of matter.

Students describe and sort rocks according to their physical properties. They listen to a story and discuss what they know about rocks, then work with a partner to discuss how their sample rocks differ from each other.

First graders experiment with sorting. In this sorting lesson, 1st graders separate objects according to one attribute: smooth, rough, hard or soft.

Young scholars gather and classify samples of a given item (rocks, fossils, seeds, etc.) They discuss various ways of classifying and that there are many different ways that are acceptable.

Students calculate the distance a car travel using CEEBoT. In this algebra lesson, students apply the distance formula to real life scenarios. They use a measuring tape and a formula to measure the distance the ceebot travels.
