Students infer that there are forces we cannot see that act upon objects, experiment with magnets to show a push and/or pull force, and participate in a magnet game.

Use as a supplimental material or to compliment a full unit on Aggregate Supply. This presentation was originally intended to accompany the McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2002 Economics text, but could be used with any similar lesson.

Young artists use Paintstik colors on paper, canvas, metal, fabric or another surface to create a work of art to be presented in a gallery. Learners research the origins of the "Snakebasket" they are creating. These art lessons produce...

Students use balloons and string to duplicate Bernoulli's Principle of wing shape and its affect on liftoff.

Fifth graders move a variety of objects in different ways to observe the different forces. In this physics lesson, 5th graders observe pushing, pulling, gravity, and friction. The hands-on component, and teamwork involved, should make...

Students explore the geographic theme of movement. In this migration instructional activity, students discuss push-pull factors that motivate immigrants and interpret illegal immigration data. Students also discuss the difficulties that...

Students investigate the concepts of ancestors and citizenship. In this citizenship lesson plan, students listen to Betsy Maestro's Coming to America . They learn the definitions of immigrants and melting pot using a recipe for Rice...

Students listen to Nursery Rhymes highlighting GRAVITY, pull ropes during a Rope Pull Activity and even drop eggs from a height during a Gravity Contest. This is a fantastic lesson which highly motivates Students!

In this ellipse worksheet, students learn the difference between an orbit and an ellipse. They draw ellipses and calculate the distance between foci, they calculate the length of the major axis and they determine the eccentricity. They...

Students explore simple physics concepts such as push/pull, friction, and speed. In this physics/physical education lesson, students work in co-operative groups to "build" a spaceship out of scooters and folded mats. Teams experiment...

Students recognize that body design affects balance. They investigate the basic structure of a dinosaur body to see how it achieved balance, then build any dinosaur body system they want, using small marshmallows and extra straws as needed.

In this pulleys, levers and incline planes worksheet, students answer 22 questions about output force, energy loss, and net force on pulleys, levers and incline planes.

In this magnets worksheet, students explain how they would determine the north and south poles of a magnet. This worksheet has 3 short essay questions.

In this physics review learning exercise, students compare inertia and momentum, insulators and conductors, and series and parallel circuits. Students review Newton's laws. This learning exercise has 20 fill in the blank, 12 matching,...

In this levers activity, high schoolers compare the three classes of levers. Students determine how the location of the fulcrum effects the amount of force needed. Then high schoolers complete 20 fill in the blank questions and 6 word...

In this earthworm learning exercise, students use an on line site to answer questions about the structures and their functions of an earthworm. They also answer questions about planarians, leeches and tapeworms.

In this finding mass in the cosmos worksheet, students use the equations for the force of gravity, the centrifugal force pushing a planet outwards and the speed of a planet to solve 2 problems. They find the mass of primary bodies given...

Students use aluminum, a thumbtack, an eraser, and more to create static electricity. For this static electricity lesson plan, students use this experiment to simulate lightning.

Students explore how pitch changes when using instruments that are plucked, blown, and hit. In this sound and pitch instructional activity, students blow across the top of bottles that are filled with water to create sound. Students use...

In this physical science worksheet, 4th graders complete multiple choice questions about force, simple machines, communication and more. Students complete 25 questions.

Students investigate soil contents. In this soil lesson plan, students gather samples of soil and record their findings on a graphic organizer. After analyzing the material in the soil, students illustrate the layers they found.

For this motion worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle given 11 clues related to rate, acceleration, force of gravity and velocity. They also complete a puzzle where they unscramble 11 words related to motion to solve for a...

For this Newton's Laws worksheet, students answer ten questions about Newton's three laws. They answer questions about specific situations and the laws that govern each.

In this recognizing correct grammar in sentences learning exercise, learners read incomplete sentences, use context clues, and choose the correct verb to complete the sentences. Students answer 10 multiple choice questions and click the...
