Perfectly Decomposed!
We all know someone who won't eat the banana with a brown spot, the grape with a dimple, and the apple with a bruise. Scholars use different fruits to explore what happens when fruits really start to decompose. They set up an experiment...
Curated OER
Disability Awareness Lesson
Students gain an understanding of how activities should be modified for the physically challenged.
Curated OER
Nemo Tag 2
Several students are chosen to be taggers (and wear goggles), 2 more are chosen to be Dorie (and carry the blue fish), and Merlin (and carry the orange fish). The rest of the students are Nemo's. The Nemos begin on one of the mats...
Curated OER
A Lesson Plan for Elementary School Students
Students identify characteristics of verbal, physical, emotional and cyberbullying. In this bullying lesson plan, students gather information about bullying and work in discussion groups to find ways to report and combat bullying.
Curated OER
Bean Bag Clean-up
Young scholars view signs posted in corners of the gym. Each sign indicates a color and a locomotor skill. When they hear music, students pick up a bean bag, take it to its corresponding color while performing the specified locomotor...
Curated OER
Buggy Rides
Students go for a buggy ride. Each of them have a chance to be a rider and a horse. They need to tell their "horse" when to begin pulling by saying "giddy-up." students work together and use appropriate social skills
Curated OER
Poly Spot Dribbling
Learners perform dribbling activities using a basketball. In this dribbling lesson, students dribble a basketball according to the poly spot number that they land on. This lesson uses kinesthetics to gain knowledge of counting.
Curated OER
Sailors and Sharks
Learners use the skills of fleeing and dodging in order to avoid being tagged. They begin standing on the ships (mats). One student, the shark, wears a pinney. At the signal from the teacher of "Sailors swim", the sailors scatter to a...
Curated OER
Ancient Rome
Students complete pre reading, writing, during reading, and interdisciplinary activities for the book Ancient Rome. In this reading lesson plan, students complete journal entries, go over vocabulary, answer short answer questions, have...
Curated OER
Oxygen Cycle
Students run clockwise around a track in the gym, pretending they are the blood that carries oxygen through the body. They go to the "mouth" station where they take three breaths and pick up an object that represents oxygen. Students...
Curated OER
Electromagnets
High schoolers conduct a series of experiments on electromagnets. In this physics lesson, students build their own electromagnet and explain how it works. They determine the factors that affect its strength.
Curated OER
Build a Tesla Coil
High schoolers explore tesla coil through various experiments. In this physics lesson, students build their own tesla coils based on a given procedure. They discuss its real world applications.
