Specific learning goals are grouped for different grade levels spanning pre-kindergarten to eighth grade. After preparing the questions and materials, you call a learner to come in front of the class and play the game. Young learners...

First graders explore number sense by participating in a measurement estimation activity. In this weight lesson, 1st graders discuss the differences between measurement units, both English and Metric. Students examine a loaf of bread to...

Have you ever stretched out a Slinkie so much it wouldn't go back to its original shape? Slinkies, like all springs, follow Hooke's Law. A simulation uses springs and masses to demonstrate kinetic, potential, and thermal energy. It...

Learners determine where to buy the heaviest earthworms as they study invertebrates. They create a double bar graph of the results of the weight data.

Students explore geometry by using computer applications. For this spatial measurement lesson, students discuss the difference between area, weight, volume and other forms of measurement. Students utilize computer applications to find...

Students estimate, calculate, and count back the amount of change needed from purchases made during small group activities.

Second graders determine when estimates and exact totals are appropriate in dealing with money. They simulate keeping a checking account over a period of time and keep a checkbook ledger to record deposits and expenses.

Students examine a cookie that represents pumice and lava in order to realize that lava is a composite of many rock particles. They compare and contrast pumice to the cookie by estimating, weighing, measuring and dissecting the cookie...

Students take part in various activities ranging from creating a human clock, to small group problem solving to reinforce the concept of telling time accurately to five minutes on an analog clock.

Pupils examine tree-ring dating and discuss the lack of water the settlers in Jamestown faced. They create paper tree rings, simulate rain patterns, and describe the history of construction paper tree sequences.

Students simulate hibernation with their stuffed animals. They predict the length of time of hibernation and type their math journal entries about sorting, graphing and draw pictures. They read bear hibernation stories.
