Students create a tally chart. In this math and health lesson, students discuss healthy foods and create a tally chart showing the number of students who like to eat healthy foods.

Students create a spreadsheet that calculate the amount of concrete needed to pour various concrete forms.

Fifth graders look at the Garrison flag and estimate how big it is. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders then calculate the area and perimeter of the flag.

Students consider the relationship of temperature to environmental conditions and then apply their knowledge to a practical event. The task assesses students' knowledge and application of that knowledge to an additional situation.

High schoolers discuss line graphs and scatter plots and the best situations in which to use them. Using the graphs, they determine the type of correlation between variables on a scatterplot. They create a scatterplot and line graph...

Learners develop their vocabulary skills. In this vocabulary and language lesson, students practice naming everyday objects as they take part in 3 classroom activities that require them to note attributes of everyday objects their...

In this mathematics lesson, 3rd graders estimate how many pancake tortoises they think it will take to reach the height of a giraffe.  Students watch a video and take notes before they begin the estimation process

Learners discover new vocabulary words. In this language development activity, students reach into a box of themed items and identify the object. They discuss the attributes of the object as well. 

Students examine macro-invertebrates in order to better understand their link to the food web. Working in groups, they record observations of several areas of a stream or river, collect samples from the river bottom, and identify the...

Students study the conservation of energy.  In this energy lesson students explain the differences between potential and kinetic energy.

Students practice finding the sums of two-one digit numbers. In this addition lesson plan, students also record facts onto an addition chart.

Fourth graders study the effects of UV rays and practice finding the UV index for where they live. In this health lesson plan, 4th graders listen to a lecture about ultraviolet rays, then find the UV index in their area and write a...

Third graders discss water pollution and its affects on animals. They watch a demonstration using a plastic fish in a fish bowl in which various types of water pollution are illustrated.

Students explore the amount of radiation in the Earth's atmosphere. They calculate the total amount of incoming and outgoing radiation over a day and determine how "balanced" the radiative system is over a particular location.

Learners begin to recognize that objects have many measurable attributes. They examine how to identify and accurately measure attributes of common objects. Also Students report their measurement findings.

Young scholars study reaction rates, what determines how fast a reaction happens and how the chemical changes occur.  For this reactions lesson students complete a lab where they use Alka-Seltzer to observe reaction rate and create...

Learners participate in an experiment in which they investigate the factors affecting the levels of nitrates in groundwater. Using examples, they explain the nitrogen cycle and identify the sources of chemical nitrogen fertilizers. ...

Students research tree leaves. In this tree leaves lesson, students observe, measure, and sort tree leaves. Students examine leaves individually, in groups, and in relationship to the entire tree.

Student read background summary information and debate how much control did the government require to keep the nation safe. They research how World War II restrictions on enemy lines were enforced and how it related to the U.S....

Students explore about the structure of Earth's atmosphere and about the stratospheric ozone. They discuss how it is produced and destroyed, where it is located, why it is important, and how it is changing. Students investigate about...

In this unit, 3rd graders investigate one variable to see if they can make a paper plane fly farther. They use scatter plots to establish a possible relationship between variables then use what they have found to make a paper plane to...

Students conduct an experiment. In this movement lesson plan, students see how far a marble will roll after coming down a ramp. The students change the height of the ramp to make it roll faster and record their results.

Students build a kite while integrating math and science. In this kite building activity, students construct a blueprint and apply mathematical formulas while constructing a kite. They use appropriate flight and kite terminology to...

Students participate in a lesson designed to illustrate these concepts using simple materials. They use Science process skills to observe, measure, predict, make inferences, and communicate while completing the activity. Proper safety...
