Imagine these flavors: chocolate, candy, menthol. What age group do you imagine is the target audience of an advertising campaign that features a product with these flavors? Find out the facts about vaping with a resource that provides...

Why are gym walls padded and cars required to have air bags? Scholars observe two similar situations, such as those listed above, with only one variable altered. They identify the different variable and determine how the variation...

Adjust the melting time of ice without varying the temperature! Learners experiment with different materials to decide how the materials affect the rate an ice cube melts. They then connect their findings to the conductivity of each...

Sixth graders explore characteristics of similar objects. Using attribute blocks, they explore the ratios of the perimeter, area and side length in similar shapes. They calculate and compare the area of shapes.

Sixth graders are read Goodnight Moon. They discuss the different kinds of matter mentioned in the story. Students describe each item they remember, they are encouraged to observe that some things are made of smaller pieces, different...

Students study bears. For this science lesson, students compare black, grizzly and polar bears. Students measure the bear tracks and compare the bear habitats and diet.

Students work together to compare and contrast sand particles. They identify what sand grains are composed of as well. They complete writing activities to complete the lesson.

Students examine how to use a globe. In this globe and map comparison lesson, students discuss how the globe and map are alike when looking at Africa and Antarctica. Students investigate shapes and sizes of globes versus maps.

Fifth graders examine different types of rocks and classify rocks by their different characteristics. In small groups they sort their rocks into two categories, then create three categories to sort by on a sorting worksheet. Next, they...

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...

Students use maps to discover where Puerto Rico is located. In groups, they use the internet to research the vegetation. They also compare and contrast the relationship between the United States and Puerto Rico's government.

Second graders use a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast buttons after listening to the story, A Lost Button.

Pupils collect and examine rocks. They record information about the rocks they have collected in their notebooks. They compare and contrast different rocks and complete a class chart at the end of the lesson.

In this bird worksheet, learners cross reference materials gathered to identify the bird pictured and fill in 7 boxes with the information gathered.

Students work together to make figures out of tangram squares. In groups, they calculate the measurements they need and apply the Pythagorean Theorem. They complete a worksheet solving equations using the theorem and review their answers.

Fifth graders study the characteristics of fossils. They create a chart comparing the different fossil size, shape and texture. Students make observations and describe fossil characteristics in journals.

Students explain that many kinds of objects have been used as money. After identifying qualities that make a good currency, they design a nontraditional currency and decide on its value.

Students get a bounce ball and find a Polyspot. On the teacher's signal, students underhand throw to a target. They keep their own score: one point each time they hit a target.

Fifth graders, in groups, examine different types of apples and how they are different. They also taste the differences of each apple. They use this lesson to explore how to make observations.

Students use the FoilSim computer simulation program, and demonstrate an understanding of the lift variables by explaining their graphical representations. They demonstrate an understanding of forces and motion.

Learners examine dinosaur footprints and compare them to the shape of elephant footprints and to the size of their own footprints.

Students identify the shape of a function. In this statistics lesson plan, students plot the data collected. They analyze their data for positive, negative or no correlation. They find the line of best fit.
