Before sending your third graders to the library, help them build a solid foundation for their research with this plan. Following the "I do, we do, you do" method, the teacher starts by modeling how to create a research question and...

Learners explore geometry by completing a math worksheet in class. In this shape identification lesson, students identify the characteristics associated with 15 solid geometric shapes. Learners identify patterns between vertices, edges...

Second graders learn the proper way to take measurements, explore the properties of objects and expand their vocabulary.

Elementary schoolers explore 3-D shapes. They transition from thinking of shapes as only 2-D. Pupils read Cinderella as a launching activity for their upcoming adventure, and explore a new world of 3-D shapes in this introductory lesson.

Students explore materials and their properties. For this matter lesson, students identify objects and describe their properties. Students test and sort materials using an interactive whiteboard, followed by a group discussion of what...

Students rotate through various hands-on experiment stations to explore the concept and properties of different types of matter. They compare some properties of solids, liquids and gases and describe how matter changes from one state to...

Young scholars investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

Students discuss the pros and cons of recycling on the environment. They sort and classify objects for recycling and write a brief narrative about the experience. This lesson is intended for students acquiring English.

Students work with three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson, students examine models of spheres, cones, cubes, prisms, and pyramids, and identify them by their edges, vertices, and faces.

The process of fire requires oxygen, heat, and fuel. Take one of those away, and fire ceases to exist. That's the idea behind this worksheet which portrays a candle burning inside an upside down jar. Pupils answer a couple of questions...

Fifth graders learn about foods from the ocean.  In this ocean products lesson, 5th graders brainstorm what foods come from the ocean, fill in a Venn Diagram comparing alginates, carrageenans and beta carotenes.  Students make...

Students bring to school five items they would normally throw away and five items they would normally recycle. Expert groups are formed to present information on the recycling of glass, metal, plastic, and organics such as paper and...

Students study vocabulary based on chemistry terms by creating flash cards.  In this scientific vocabulary lesson, students utilize a chemistry word or phrase to create a card which uses the term, describes it in the student's...

Students explore computer science by participating in mini activities. In this graphic design lesson, identify the different components on a personal computer and define their purpose. Students utilize Microsoft Paint to create a digital...

Second graders create their own science textbooks. They work in small, cooperative science teams to plan and create their textbooks. In addition, they photograph their group work, projects, materials and specimens, and other images.

Students examine sedimentary rocks to determine how they form. In this Earth science lesson plan, students will make a rock by cementing small particles together. The students will then compare their observations of sedimentary rocks to...
