What kind of food does a monkey eat? If you know, then you'll be able to complete this worksheet. To practice drawing a straight line, learners draw to connect the animal to its food. A total of five lines will be drawn from right to left.

You can write some music scores using images rather than musical notation. Kids learn how they can become musical composers by using graphics or images in place of musical notation. An interesting slide-show, but a more interesting...

STEM scholars investigate sound attenuation by conducting an experiment in which they compare the farthest distance that they can hear a sound with and without ear protection.

Students solve problems using reasoning techniques, identify the validity or non-validity of problems and use deductive reasoning for problem resolution.

In this grade 3 mixed math worksheet, 3rd graders complete 8 problems. They work with logical reasoning, patterning, money, and addition.

Students share descriptions of science experiments they have conducted. They create a thin film on the surface of water in order to float light objects and observe that a paper clip does, indeed, float on the surface of the water at...

In this problem solving strategies worksheet, students use logical reasoning to understand, plan, solve, and look back at a word problem.

Students are introduced to the genre of detective fiction. Based on their reading level, they are given a different series of books to read. For each story, they are to make predictions and practice decoding messages. To end the...

Young scholars explore the concept of probability as it relates us to be able to make predictions about future events based upon our knowledge of past outcomes. They have an innate appreciation for probability. Students make a connection...

Students calculate the radius of the earth. They use the method and data suggested by Eratosthenes. They investigate the interrelationships among mass, distance, force, and time through experimental processes.

Fourth graders choose a category to speak about for about two to three minutes. They deliver a show and tell presentation in front of the class. They complete a rubric on classmates for their accurateness of their presentation. They...

First graders study that day and night result from shadows produced by Earth's rotation. Students work to show how shadows are produced, look for and identify shadows and observe shadows produced from different sources.

Students explore the basic underlying concepts of Newton's first law of motion. They discuss forces and brainstorm different examples of force and what they act on. Students examine force by observing springs and gravity. They discuss...

Sixth graders explore potential and kinetic energy. In this science lesson, 6th graders assume the role of a roller coaster engineer and design a roller coaster. Students use their knowledge of kinetic and potential energy to design a...

Students develop a strategy to win the game. Charlie Taylor is trying to get his engine built for the Wright Brothers before Charles Manly gets his done for Samuel Langley. The person who completes the most boxes is the person who gets...
