Students use the color wheel, matches, masking tape, and slides to view an alternate theory of color perception. In this color perception lesson plan, students discuss the different theories and processors.

Students distinguish and recognize the three primary colors used in color printing. In this color mixing lesson, students predict what color will be produced when pigments or color beams are mixed. Students will demonstrate an...

Students explore the Dollper effect by finding the frequency and velocity of sound.  In this velocity lesson, students determine the impulse during a collision by using their data and a software program.

Students experiment with heat. In this physical science instructional activity, students engage in hands-on activities to develop concepts related to heat. Students offer explanations for their observations using given vocabulary.

Young scholars study the metric system and examine other ways to measure.  In this measurement lesson students complete activities that help them to better understand the measuring system. 

Fourth graders perform probability experiments. In this math lesson, 4th graders complete a penny toss to evaluate and graph the combinations of outcomes. In a second activity, students draw M&Ms out of a bag and graph results. In a...

Fourth graders experiment with gravity and lift by building paper airplanes. In this physics instructional activity, 4th graders compare the falling rate of a crumpled vs. flat sheet of paper. Then after class discussion and...

Students learn how to measure the diameter and circumference of a circle. In this circle activity, students organize their data to create a graph. Students utilize their graph to make an inference about the slope of pi.

Students develop problem solving skills in science. In this creative thinking lesson, students manipulate puzzles and formulate solutions. Students share their process with peers to see if they can complete a given puzzle using the same...

Students explore how temperature and wind contribute to types of weather. In this weather lesson, students observe an experiment in which ice, steam, and an electric fan are manipulated to produce results that simulate how fog and snow...

Students use their senses in various situations to determine their accuracy. In this senses instructional activity, students use different senses to explore common objects. They find that their senses are not always accurate.

Pupils use protractors, strings, and straws to construct a device used to determine the height of tall objects. In this applied geometry instructional activity, students use common objects to construct a tangent height guide. They use...

Students choose appropriate units of measure and predict length using the metric system. In this measurement lesson, students participate in activities in which they predict, measure, and record linear measurements such as arm span vs....

Students will observe an alternative method of temperature measurement. In this scientific measurement lesson, students observe and discuss alternative systems used to measure temperature.
