The procedure for constructing a working model of the respiratory system is revealed in this resource. A wonderful approach would be to have biology learners work in pairs to create a model and write the suggested paragraph explaining...

Take a deep breath and have your class construct working models of a lung! Using 500ml plastic bottles as the chest cavity, and balloons for the lung and the diaphragm, learners work in groups to make a model. The models help them to...

Working together isn't as easy as it looks! Small groups of classmates try to keep a balloon in the air using only a straw, their breath, and team communication.

Begin with an introduction to famous deep-sea submersibles. Learners work in groups to gather information on different vessels and then share with the class. Each group then uses water displacement to help calculate the density of...

Students experiment to investigate the role in fixed-wing flight. They watch as air and water flow around surfaces to examine the dynamics of airflow around an aircraft wing.

Learners investigate air pressure with four hands-on activities. They observe experiments by viewing Take a Look 2 #21.

Students examine troposphere graphs and mcompare their hypotheses with data collected by weather balloons launched from the NOAA ship, Ronald H. Brown. they write summaries about the physical properties of the troposphere.

Students review that air is a form of matter. They investigate how air takes up space. Pupils comprehend that they cannot see air, it takes up space and has mass, therefore it is a form of matter. Students investigate how to show that...

Students construct models of early gas balloons and gliders. In this balloon and glider activity, students create models of early gas balloons and gliders, discover how the forces of lift and drag effect aircraft in flight, and put on...

Learners research flight and to try and put the events of Kitty Hawk into proper perspective. They look at kites, the lateen sail, flight toys (old and new), hot air balloons, propulsion units, hang gliders, and the men who made them.

Fifth graders label the parts of the respiratory system. They distinguish among the functions of its major organs. They construct a model of the respiratory system. They watch an animated video and utilize the Internet for research of...

Students practice the skills of throwing or tossing a balloon straight up into the air and then catching the balloon.

Learners explore the concept of how air moves and reflect through working in groups about the scientific concept. This lesson is an extension to another similar lesson. Also students develop and draw their own models.

First graders state that air occupies space by performing experiments that show this principle.

Young scholars observe that air exerts pressure, that heated air expands and that cooled air contracts. After the demonstration, students engage in a question and answer session about what they saw.

Students investigate the forces of compression, tension and torque on common birthday balloons.

Learners study the function of lungs. In this lung function lesson plan, students complete an experiment using balloons to study the way lungs work. Learners study a diagram of their lungs and make a hypothesis for their lung capacity...

The biggest balloon wins! Pupils play a balloon race game, answering questions about careers in business and marketing while blowing air into balloons. Additionally, scholars research two similar companies to study their marketing...

First graders are read a story about the various stages of matter with a focus on gases. Using a ziploc bag, they capture as much air as possible and discuss how it takes up space even though it is invisible. To end the lesson, they blow...

Fifth graders perform experiments to determine the identity of an unknown gas sample. In this chemistry lesson plan, 5th graders fill balloons with air, oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. They use mass and reactivity to identify the...

Student study the properties of wind. They make a miniature hot-air balloon and compose diamond-shaped poems about the wind. They explain that as the sun warms air around the earth, the air rises. Colder air then moves in to fill the...

Students demonstrate how to use math skills to measure their lung capacity. In this human biology lesson, students use a clear plastic container, measuring cup and rubber balloons to demonstrate how the lungs work. Students estimate the...

Students conduct a series of hands-on activities to demonstrate that heated air expands and that warm air rises because it is less dense.

Dance offers several components and the two that are involved in this activity are creative expression and artistic perception. In this dance activity children are given movements with which to build and formulate and help them make wise...
