When youngsters are learning about the basic needs of humans and animals, this instructional activity could come in handy. In it, pupils circle the pictures of a living thing that is eating food. There are eight pictures all in all, and...

After reading a short paragraph on how electrical switches work, learners look at four examples of electrical circuits, and circle the ones which will allow a lightbulb to be lit. This would be a good precursor to having your charges...

Didn't some scientist develop rules about force and motion? Youngsters can experience physical science as they determine which picture shows the force of pushing or pulling. Tip: Ask learners if they can think of any unseen forces that...

Biology learners read about selective breeding in chickens and how it has produced high-yield meat specimens and rapid egg-layers. The unpleasant effects of artificial selection are explored, as well as options to supporting this...

One fish, two fish! There's a noun you can count. But how do you count the water the fish are swimming in? Or the air above the water? Teach your learners about uncountable nouns and how to use them in sentences. This resource...

Decide which form of the verb to use in ten sentences. Young grammarians watch for context clues when determining if they should use gerunds or infinitives in the blank spaces of each sentence.

The color School Bus Yellow was created in 1939 because science had proven peripheral vision detects yellow 1.24 times faster than other colors. Young scientists explore modern school bus transportation options and then discuss the...

Base your lesson plan on acids and bases on an informative resource. The first installment of a five-part module on the science behind Harry Potter has individuals investigate acid/base chemistry with the use of invisible inks. They also...

Students explore electricity by conducting a series of experiments. In this physics instructional activity, students discover the relationship between current, voltage and resistance. They calculate voltage and power in a given system.

In this scientific theory learning exercise, the student is asked 46 questions about equivalent circuits designed with differently constructed power sources.  The answers are available if the student is working online.

Fifth graders examine the process of multiplication and the relationship between addition and multiplication. They observe the teacher model a variety of problems on the board, and identify properties of multiplication. Students...
