Students complete activities to learn about Southeastern Native Americans.  In this lifestyles lesson, students watch a PowerPoint about Southeastern Native Americans, view artifacts from the region and discuss the objects with a...

First graders distinguish between living and nonliving objects, and compare living organisms and nonliving objects.

Students compare and contrast similar two and three dimensional shapes within cooperative groups.

Second graders categorize fish crackers into groups by color and compare the two groups using the symbols <, =, and >. They use concrete objects to solve number sentences with equalities and inequalities.

Fifth graders study the structures of a plant cell and animal cell. They create a graphic organizer and a food model. Finally, they write an essay comparing and contrasting plant and animal cells.

Students solve piecewise functions. In this precalculus lesson, students model real life scenarios using velocity and piecewise. They create velocity graphs and find the beginning and end position of an object.

Students compare whole and fractional numbers using <, >, or =, with manipulatives and drawings.

Sixth graders measure and investigate the densities of several objects. They, in teams, determine the mass and volume of each of the 5 objects and record the measurements in the data table.

Students compare and contrast the mass, volume, and density of various objects. They use a triple beam balance, measure and record the volume of a cup of water, and discuss the results.

Students estimate the measurement in centimeters for common classroom objects. They check their estimations, discuss the differences and write a paragraph summarizing the activity.

Students explore the environment by learning about nature. In this art lesson plan, students go on a walk and find objects to help in creating a picture, or collage representing whatever season is being discussed. Students write...

Students represent and explain fractions as part of a set using modeling clay. They create sets of objects as specified by individual task cards.

Students determine speed by running or walking a given distance and dividing the distance by the time it took them to do so. They record their average speed and compare it with the speeds of other moving objects.

Students explore the meaning of density. In this density lesson, students use interactive whiteboards to review definitions regarding density and compare the density of selected objects.

Fourth graders create cartoon characters which compare and contrast two types of cells: nerve and muscle. Cartoon characters show how these two cells are similar, how they are different, and the relationship between the two cell types.

Third graders have a blast trying to measure live, wiggly, stretching worms to the nearest inch. Groups record their data onto a class graph and then compare characteristics. They share their findings with the rest of the class. Fun lesson!

Students recognize the concept of temperature, including degrees, and the melting and freezing process. In this 1st - 2nd grade lesson plan, students identify the temperature of various objects, as well as create their own paper...

Students measure and record weights and heights and compare to others in the class as they find out more about their bodies.

Students identify the planets by making two models of the Solar System. They create a model that shows the order of the planets and a model that shows the planets sizes as compared to one another. They may write about the planet they...

Are planes the best shipping method? Using maps, pupils determine the fastest mode of transportation between two cities. Given a list of items to ship, groups decide the best shipping method to finish the 18th segment of a 22-part unit.

Students design their own Science experiment. In this science experiment lesson students create a hypothesis related to matter and test it. They displayed their data in a graph.

Students read information about the ancient origins of art and archaeology with a focus on the Malian culture. In this art origins lesson, students read background information for the topic and compare ancient and contemporary objects....

In this unit, 1st graders use measurement language and counting to compare objects in a variety of game situations. Students also practice the advanced concept of counting to advanced counting.

Young scholars complete a number of practical measuring investigations, with an emphasis on accuracy of measuring and communication of their findings. They examine how to measure by first becoming aware of the physical attributes of...
