Students identify mean using concrete objects.

Middle schoolers collect, organize, and analyze data while studying the Pythagorean Theorem, measure length and width of several rectangular objects, and compare the measured results to the calculated results.

Pupils are arranged in a circle with two students inside the circle. They try to clean out Oscar's garbage can while the ones outside the circle try to throw the objects back in.

Second graders use hula hoops to represent the zero as they count objects into ones, tens, hundreds and thousands. They complete an activity to after they have practiced counting objects.

Students improve their locomotor skills and their knowledge of recycling. They participate in a relay as they recycle different objects into their proper containers.

Students throw and catch various objects in this introductory activity. They attempt to throw balls into Oscar's Garbage Can.

Third graders work together to lift and pass each other through a tire. They simulate time travel and decide on an object they would take with them through the time portal. They reflect on their experiences and consider the importance of...

Fourth graders create a replica of our solar system. Each group arranges the balls in the proper order for our solar system by gluing them to the construction paper. Under each of the balls, the name of the object should be clearly printed.

Students throw in their letter or vegetable when the said object or letter is said by the teacher. They also explore how to make a parachute ripple and make waves.

Students learn the proper form for throwing. Correct hand placement is demonstrated as imaginary and then real objects are thrown at a target. Tape is placed on one shoe and referred to as the tape toe to get the student in position for...

Pupils drop a variety of objects from a jungle gym to explore how different shapes, sizes, and masses relate to forces and motion.

Students classify clouds as transparent, translucent or opaque. They conduct an experiment to determine the visual opacity of several classroom objects and then conduct further observations of clouds.

Students practice their classification skills through hands-on practice. Working in groups, students identify various ways in which similar items can be classified. Given a kit of similar items, students classify objects in multiples...

Pupils practice writing numerals and finding their values. In this numeral practice lesson, students write numerals in sequence and draw objects to show the value of the numeral. Pupils use digital cameras to create a Movie Maker...

Pupils discuss things that are valuable and things that are beautiful.  In this ode lesson, students look for something beautiful that inspires them and take a picture of it. Pupils write an ode to one of the beautiful objects they...

Young scholars utilize a trajectory formula in order to discover the physics of a thrown ball.  In this physics instructional activity, students videotape the trajectory of a thrown ball or basketball shot and analyze the action by...

Young scholars explore the concept of geometric symmetry. In this geometric symmetry lesson, students walk around their school and take pictures of objects that demonstrate symmetry. Young scholars use Microsoft Paint to draw the lines...

Students analyze political systems of African cultures. For this political systems lesson, students compare and contrast the political systems of African cultures by studying objects of art for the values of the governments. Students...

Students calculate average velocity of a moving car. In this physics instructional activity, students construct graphs from data collected in the experiment. They design their own experiment to determine velocity of another moving object.

Second graders explain how friction affects the motion of moving objects. In this physics lesson, 2nd graders investigate how different materials move down the slide. They share their observations with each other.

Firts graders distinguish between sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. They group the rocks into the appropriate group. This is one of the best-organized plans I've seen! Learners watch a PowerPoint presentation which is embedded...

Young scholars explore the the benefits and problems associated with a barter system in the Colonies and trace its relationship to the development of interdependence that this system creates. An experience of bartering is created in this...

Engage little learners in this moderately developed three-lesson unit on the composer Camille Saint-Saens and his piece "The Carnival of Animals." Each lesson includes a listening, discussion, and an art project to engage your class in...

Discuss your class' vision of the future. Learners create materials for use in a time capsule. They write letters to explain their contribution and provide photos.  Afterwards, they use higher-level thinking skills to reflect on why...
