Help your young learners learn their left from their right and develop visual discrimination and fine motor skills with this fun, interactive, educational game.

Young scholars read a short story about Easter. They recognize and point to pictures of the key words (egg, chicken, rabbit, basket, flower). They make an Easter basket and count how many chickens can fit inside. They also practice...

Students create pairs of cards with numbers and pictures. Encourage students to use a different color to represent each number/picture pair; this help them with visual association in the "Concentration" game.

Learners explain what factors determine density. In this physics lesson, students hypothesize which objects are less dense. They cite the importance of density in everyday life.

Students construct three dimensional self-portraits. In this visual arts lesson, students use clay to create a self-portrait. Students make the clay and discuss their self-portrait.

Students demonstrate basic procedures for archeological excavations. They explore an archeological site, students using various archeological methods and techniques to determine some of the aspects of past life and culture.
