In this lunar meteorite hazard worksheet, students read about the speed of meteorites that crash into the Moon. Students solve 2 problems including finding the impact rates of the meteorites on the Moon, determining the number of years...

In this air pollution and weather worksheet, learners collect data using an online animation to determine the air quality at given times along with the wind speed and temperature in a particular city. Students make 3 bar graphs using the...

Students study the characteristics of a stream habitat. In this life science lesson plan, students use sieves, nets, and jars to collect aquatic organisms. Students also measure the temperature of the stream and calculate the speed of...

Fifth graders animate their own planets.  In this solar system lesson, 5th graders use smartphones and the software, GoKnow Sketchy, to create images for presentations on their created planets that appear to be animated when played...

In this tsunami waves instructional activity, students explore data from the Indonesian tsunami of 2004 and answer ten questions about the data. They draw conclusions about the devastation and destruction based on the amplitude and speed...

Students examine Newton's first law of motion and demonstrate how it applies to cars.  In this motion lesson students complete an experiment and worksheet on speed and inertia.

In this mathematics worksheet, 4th graders solve a number of problems by dividing a two-digit number by a single digit number. There are 36 problems to solve on the sheet.

In this math worksheet, students use problem solving skills to draw a path through the maze as they begin at 2 and count by 2s up to 200.

In this fast and slow movement worksheet, students will brainstorm things that move at fast speeds and things that move at slow speeds. Students will write these items in the correct category in this graphic organizer worksheet.

Young scholars read different letter blends to improve their reading fluency speed. They discuss decoding, and observe the teacher modeling different decoding strategies. In pairs, they take turns reading the book "Pat's Jam,"...

Students listen as the teacher models both non-fluent and fluent reading and decide which sounds better. They read a book silently to themselves before completing repeated, timed readings. Working with a partner, they complete timed...

Since light travels faster than sound, some people may appear bright until you hear them speak. The presentation covers what sound is, how fast it travels in various mediums, properties of sound, hearing, and the parts of the human...

Slow and steady wins the race? In the assessment task, scholars calculate the rates at which different snails travel in order to find the fastest snail. Hopefully, your class will move much more quickly in finishing the task!

You have to crack a few eggs to make a good engineer! Working in small groups, young scholars design, build, and test devices that protect an egg from breaking when dropped from a ladder.

Students participate in repeated reading activities to improve their fluency after listening to the teacher model fluent and non-fluent reading. They work with a partner to complete repeated reading of sentences and books while being...

Prepare advanced English learners and low-level readers for the reading demands of post-secondary education with skill of chunking. Readers learn to make meaning from phrases rather than individual words, helping them to read more...

An activity tests the fluency skills of young readers. Scholars match initial sound cards to letter cards. Pairs take turns and work to locate the most matches before the timer goes off. The activity ends with a peer evaluation.

Get the ball rolling with this upper-elementary science unit on forces and motion. Offering over three weeks of physical science lessons, this resource is a great way to engage the class in learning about simple machines, friction,...

Help learners understand the benefits of rearranging a formula. Scholars practice rearranging formulas for specific variables. They also analyze formulas to understand one variable's effect on the other. 

Pupils must graph the location of a train using the time given a timetable. They analyze the different legs of the trip, graph the return trip, and compare the two graphs. The lesson ends with a discussion of similarities and...

On your mark, get set, match! Learners use a complete set of letters, matching each to its outlined letter on an arc. As they choose letters, they name them aloud. For added difficulty, another arc is missing most of its letters to...

Groups simulate an orbit using a piece of string and a water balloon. Individuals spin in a circular path and calculate the balloon's velocity when the clothes pin can no longer hold onto the balloon.

Not all energy sources are renewable, as learners investigate in this unit. Made up of six lessons that span a few weeks of instruction, the unit has learners examining US energy reserves and consumption, using data to draw conclusions...

Exactly what do groundhogs know about weather? Not as much as your science students will after completing these lessons and activities that cover everything from the earth's rotation and the creation of shadows, to cloud...
