Here is a great lesson on constructing line graphs. Learners identify common characteristics of birds, ants common needs of all living things. They also write a story from the perspective of an ant or a bird that has lost its home and...

Students investigate earthworms. In this organisms lesson plan, students observe earthworms in their environment and record their behavior towards light and how they eat. Students continue on a month long observation.

Students study hummingbirds and how they use Newton's law.  In this motion instructional activity students complete several activities and view videos of hummingbirds. 

Fifth graders compare and contrast the patterns that they create using iron fillings and different types of magnets.

Seventh graders investigate how organisms respond to environmental stimuli through their behavior. They observe how plants and animals respond to varying amounts of light, water and gravity.

Learners discover behaviors of nocturnal animals. In this animal behavior lesson plan, students conduct a night time experiment with black light tracing materials to observe nocturnal animal behavior in the wild.

Seventh graders design an experiment to determine how light travels. For this physics lesson, 7th graders collect and analyze data. They formulate a conclusion and share results with the class.

Scholars are introduced to the characteristics of a legend. They read and discuss Old Father Story Teller by Pablita Velarde. Then, in groups, they write and illustrate a poem based on one of the legends from the book. This lesson plan...

Students explore light and colors. They see how white light is made up of various colors. They need to have some background knowledge about prisms, light wave lengths, and behavior of light, primary and secondary colors, and ratios.

Sixth graders use the SQ3R reading strategy to learn about the behavior of light. In this behavior of light lesson, 6th graders read a selection about the behavior of light and use the strategy to complete the reading. Students make a...

Sixth graders examine how the sun's energy arrives as light with a range of wavelengths. They discuss the characteristics of light, examine the color of light using a spectroscope, and conduct an experiment using water and thermometers....

Pupils examine George Washington's belief in etiquette and respect for others, which he achieved by following 110 rules of civility, and create their own rule of civility.

Students conduct two set experiments on Lumbriculus worms and create a third experiment of their own. The first of the two set experiments allows students to observe regeneration of the worms while the second allows students to test the...

Students examine the characteristics of snakes and turtles and compare/contrast reptiles with mammals. They watch a video, answer discussion questions, complete information charts, conduct Internet research, and create a habitat diorama.

Students identify and study the founder of electromagnetism.  In this magnetism lesson students complete several experiments including building a galvanometer.
