First graders identify the roles and responsibilities of various school workers. They identify the skills that school workers need to complete their jobs. Students discuss what a role is. They discuss the term responsibility.

Young scholars discuss different ways engineers use light. In this engineering instructional activity, students are introduced to the properties of light and the way light is used. They view a demonstration of light waves using a slinky,...

Second graders examine bug photos from across the world. In this biodiversity instructional activity, students use a field notebook to make observation of insect photos. The class gather on the floor to investigate a...

In this science worksheet, students follow directions for dissecting a flower. Students tape the parts of the flower in the corresponding boxes. Students also read about how flowers reproduce and analyze a related diagram.

Study diffraction patterns using CDs and DVDs! Scholars measure the diffraction patterns of a light wave as it hits a CD or DVD. Using the information, they can measure the distance between the tracks. 

Students explore magnification. In this science skills observation lesson, students make a hand lens using a wire loop and a small amount of water.

Students examine spider webs they find as they explore outside. They make T-chart of the shapes found in two different webs and draw them on geoboard paper. Next, they measure length and width of a spider's web before checking to see if...

Young scholars discover how abrasion works on rocks. In this science lesson, students experiment by showing how abrasion works by using sugar cubes.

Young scholars engage in snow-related activities during the first winter snowfall. After explaining the elements needed for it to snow, they preserve snowflakes on frozen slides and observe them under a microscope. Then, they write...

Students examine coral skeletons. For this science lesson, view real coral skeletons. Students explain the differences between an observation and an inference. Students draw a coral skeleton.

Young scholars observe that each individual possesses a unique set of fingerprints. The Magic School Bus series of books, "Inside the Human Body," is used in conjunction with this lesson.

Pupils explore how telescopes work, build a model of their own, and consider how real telescopes can be used to ask-and help answer-questions about the universe.

Students participate in a variety of cross-curriculur activities in order to explore spiders.

Students learn the art of lifting a fingerprint and write about the procedure.

Third graders experiment with three erosive change agents. They do an observation log, which they present to the class through a song, poem or skit.

Students view photographs depicting soil compression. They use soil and sponges to observe how soil can be compacted, and its implications.

Students complete an experiment to determine how dirty the air is in their local community. They analyze images and discuss the varying degrees of air pollution. They discuss the results of the experiment.

Learners list different uses for common scientific instruments. They identify appropriate instruments to measure length, temperature, and mass. Pupils are given a copy of the "Science Tools" task sheet, students place the correct number...

Students investigate millipedes. In this math and physics lesson plan, students examine the millipede's physical structure and characteristics by observing its behavior in given activities. Pupils will hypothesize whether they think the...

Students learn what a micro-organism is. In this micro-organism lesson, students understand that micro-organisms may be too small to see. Students learn microorganisms could be bacteria, fungi, something beneficial or a harmful microbe....

Students identify money values. In this money lesson, students sort and group coins by value and investigate the cost of supplies needed for a snack. Students prepare snacks for a snack sale.

Students examine stream waters. In this scientific inquiry lesson, students "explore" wetlands as they participate in a demonstration that reveals information about steam waters and insects.

Students observe salamanders, take pictures of them, and classify them into an online format. In this animal classification lesson, students use collection materials and digital camera to photograph and observe salamanders. Students...

In this points of view in nature worksheet, students choose two points of view for a nature observation then draw a picture or take of photo for each, and write a caption.
