In this mathematics worksheet, 1st graders identify which items pictured weighs more or less than a pound. Then they circle the objects that weigh more and place an X on the object that weigh less than a pound.

In this transportation worksheet, students list the positive and negative aspects of different types of transportation. Students keep a diary of the different ways they used transportation for a week. This worksheet has 7 graphic...

In this printing practice worksheet, students follow the dotted lines to form the letters B and b. They print two rows of each. They can see an animation of how to form each letter if they look at the worksheet online before printing it...

In this letter b activity, students move a computer mouse over sample upper and lower case letters for guidance, then practice printing the upper and lower case letters.

Students explore chemical reactions. In this chemical reaction lesson, students conduct an experiment observing chemical reactions.

Students explore the overall strategies pursued by the Americans and their British allies in the initial months of World War II in Europe. By examining military documents, students examine the decision to invade North Africa instead of...

Students use the internet to research the advancements in transportation on rivers throughout 1800 and 1900. In groups, they use a picture to build their own model of a steamboat using everyday materials. To end the lesson, they use...

Complete a series of activities based on the Flat Stanley books in this literature study lesson. Introduce the book with a discussion of supernatural qualities, then studentscan create character webs, write news articles, build kites and...

Reading short passages and answering comprehension questions is always a great way to get your beginning Spanish speakers immersed in the language. Here,they read a very short passage about making paper boats and answer four...

Color these cute kiwis doing activities in the spring! Each page includes a kiwi flying a kite, catching butterflies, holding an ice cream cone, and rowing a boat.

Swimmers know to float by turning their bodies horizontally rather than vertically, but why does that make a difference? In an interesting activity, scholars explore buoyancy and the properties of air and water. They test cups to see...

Students work in groups and note similarities and differences between their boats: size, shape, color, and unique features. They discuss 3 typical means of propulsion: propellers, sails, and paddles then share their charts with the class.

Students research examples of different types of sailing ships, investigating the vessels as well as the politics, economy, and people at the historical time and place the boat was launched. They create displays for a museum exhibit...

Students discover that one way to change how something is moving is to give it a push or a pull. They design their own boats and work with 'The Great Boat Push' worksheet to compare how their boats move when they are pushed or pulled and...

Students develop a fast travelling hull for a boat. In this physical science lesson plan, the students' hulls will be tested in a channel (built by the teacher) with a fan as the driving force. The students will compete for who has the...

In this algebra worksheet, students cross a river using a boat. They must let a husband and a wife cross together to the other sides. How will they get to the other sides without breaking that rule? There is an answer key with this lesson.

Students investigate Archimedes' Principle and show how it relates to density. In this Archimedes' Principle lesson plan, students experiment with a beaker of water, a Styrofoam "boat" and a weight. They predict what will happen when the...

Young scholars design a boat model with simplified steam engine. In this ecology lesson, students compare renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. They determine the efficiency of their boat model.

Students design a simple boat and predict how much weight it can carry. They should also discover why objects float or sink and how this can be determined experimentally. A great lesson on buoyancy!

Students explore the relationship between mass, volume and density. They use model boats to discover how changing mass and volume affect density. This is a very engaging lesson which provides great demonstrations and hands-on activities.

Third graders discuss the book on the pilgrims. They write a poem of the hardships of the boat or on the land. Students write journal entries as a pilgrim on boat or on the land. They complete a collage of the foods that the pilgrims...
