Young scholars collect data and analyze it using a graph. In this algebra lesson, students identify different bodies of water and relate the flowing to math. They collect data on the rate of flow and the height of flow. They analyze the...

Students inspect nutrition by conducting a science experiment in class. In this vegetable identification lesson, students examine a group of different veggies and predict whether they will sink or float in a tub of water. Students check...

Learners study buoyancy with an in-class experiment.  In this water properties lesson, students create a boat from aluminum foil and float it in a bucket of water.  Learners utilize coins to change the weight of the boat and...

Learners study several examples of Japanese abstract art and how this style impacted the Impressionist movement of the 19th century. This activity includes ideas for student-created sketchbooks.

Save the soup! Scholars devise a flotation device using straws, balloons, foam, corks, and other objects. A can of soup must stay afloat for at least a minute with this device—your dinner might depend on it!

In this buoyancy worksheet, students read about the principles behind objects floating including density, buoyancy and Archimedes' Principle. Students complete a buoyancy lab where they use a balloon and water and a film canister and...

Students determine how to float on their backs in a swimming pool. They participate in swimming lessons at a community pool. While working in small groups they practice floating on their backs to increase their safety around the pools....

Students experiment with the concepts of surface tension. They participate in a number of different experiments that introduce them to surface tension. They work in a small group in order to conduct these experiments.

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

What do you need to turn an adjective into an adverb? Sometimes you need an -ly, but there are other endings. Ask your learners to change the endings of 29 adjectives in order to transform them into adverbs and complete the provided...

Learners explore the concept of floating objects (ice).  In this floating lesson, students conduct an investigation in which they hypothesize about the time that an ice boat will last floating in water.  Learners record their...

Students investigate buoyancy, displacement and density.  In this flotation lesson students study the Archimedes' Principle, analyze data and draw conclusions. 

Students examine the general events of the Homestead strike through reading comprehension of a one-page synopsis. They locate the events of the Homestead Strike. Comprehend multiple perspectives of the reasons, relationships and results...

Second graders make boats by folding paper. They identify and draw shapes made during the creating process and place lines of symmetry on them. They demonstrate their understanding by completing an activity sheet imbedded in this plan.

Learners listen to a PowerPoint presentation and complete a Venn diagram comparing the methods of transportation in the early 1800s with today's transportation. They experiment with the buoyancy of keelboats.

In this stretch the sentence with articles, nouns and pronouns worksheet, students interactively answer 10 multiple choice questions about sentence writing, then click to check their answers.

In this participle clauses and gerunds worksheet, learners read a paragraph and fill in the 10 blanks with a verb from the list. Students then complete a story including verbs with the tenses listed.

Fifth graders define density as the amount of mass per volume a material contains, compare the densities of several types of materials, especially those that sink in water compared to those that float. They use two different methods to...

A variety of concepts are covered in this PowerPoint which gives the main engineering points of different aircraft types. Each slide details the engineering behind non-rigid and rigid categories of lighter or non-lighter than air...
