Students explore graphing. In this math lesson plan, students graph ordered pairs in the coordinate plane, write the coordinates of points shown on a plane, and create designs or pictures using ordered pairs.

Learners review telling time to the hour and half hour on an analog clock. In this time lesson, the students learn how to determine the time in each of the 4 standard time zones.

Young scholars explore the concept of air density. In this air density lesson, students fill balloons with helium and carbon dioxide. Young scholars determine which gases are heavier or lighter than air.

Students experiment with a variety of liquids to calculate density. In this integrated science and math lesson, students listen to a story in which the characters must prove and explain why 5 "mystery" liquids react in a certain manner....

Students explore the concept of "shape affects speed" through a series of experiments. In this physics lesson, students participate in an experiment in which various objects are released on an inclined plane. Speed and distance are...

Young scholars explore the concepts of force and effort by observing simple machines. In this physics lesson, students attempt to sharpen a pencil without any help, bite into an orange with their lips curled over their teeth, and other...

Sixth graders explore how torque and work are different. In this torque lesson, 6th graders will understand the relationship between torque and work as it applies to force and distance. Students will be assessed on their conclusions of...

Students work with boxes and weights to find the center of gravity. For this simple center of gravity experiment, students find success in using weights to move the center of gravity. Students will be assessed at the end of the lesson as...

Students spin themselves to understand rotational inertia. In this Inertia lesson, students will also use ramps, balance beam and pendelum to conduct rotational inertia experiments. Students draw conclusions to explain rotational...

Students investigate what simple machines are and how they work. In this simple machine lesson, the students create simple and compound machines and test each machine's ability to perform a task. Students compare simple machines to...

Students perform experiments that demonstrate the characteristics of air pressure. In this physics instructional activity, students participate and observe experiments using simple household items. The results of these experiments are...

Young scholars investigate the effects of four different shaped wands and geometric shapes in a bubble solution. In this bubbleology lesson, the students build water and soap molecules. Young scholars work in cooperative groups and...

Students examine why some objects float or sink. In this physics activity, students engage in several mini-experiments which challenge them to draw their own conclusions regarding why certain objects sink or float. An example of one...

Students build an understanding of the properties of liquids and research the immiscible properties of different milks through group experiments. In this immiscible liquids experiment, students investigate what happens when certain...

Learners explore magnetism, electromagnetism, and static electricity through a series of activities and experiments. For this magnets lesson, students use magnets to observe the forces of attraction and repulsion between different poles....

Students explore magnetism by observing a series of 8 magnet "tricks" performed by the instructor. In this magnets lesson, students predict which items will be attracted to a magnet and experiment to see if they predicted correctly. They...

Students create a model of the inner ear. In this hearing lesson, students follow a series of directions to build a working model of the inner ear, then observe how the parts react to a variety of sounds.

Students learn that vibration makes different types of sounds. In this sound lesson, students perform experiments to understand vibrations and high and low pitch sounds. Students learn that sound travels differently through different...

Students learn to differentiate between different types of lenses. In this lens instructional activity, students discover how lenses are different and why a specific lens should be used. Students understand how to find the focal point of...

Students explore lines of symmetry in geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students construct angles using mirrors and rubberbands, then predict the number of images that will appear in the reflection. Students reproduce lines of...

Learners perform three experiments to gain understanding of how pitch changes. In this sound lesson, students create a variety of sounds with different pitches. Learners will record their data as the observe the differences in the sounds...

Students experience the magic of mirrors. In this reflection and illusion instructional activity, students witness magic tricks that work because of mirrors, then rotate through five stations to complete hands-on experiments using...

Students learn that sound waves can be directed and collected. In this sound wave experiment, students create and collect sound waves. Students learn sound waves travel differently through different states of matter.

Students explore how pitch changes when using instruments that are plucked, blown, and hit. In this sound and pitch lesson, students blow across the top of bottles that are filled with water to create sound. Students use recorders...
