Pupils practice drawing geometric figures. In this geometry lesson, learners complete an activity that requires them to draw angles and shapes to the nearest degree.

Pupils study the different types of lines and create a drawing demonstrating what they learned.

Third graders explore the Mississippi River and the ways in which it is used by the communities it travels through.

Students use a map to locate six specific landmarks on a course using a map. They identify how maps can help us and write a paragraph describing how to get from one landmark to another on the map.

Young scientists explore some of the scientific equipment that is used by explorers during expeditions to the North or South Pole. Then, they have a relay race! All of the equipment is lined up at a spot 25 yards away from the lines. The...

In this vector worksheet students find the geometric interpretation of the change in a vector. They identify vector fields for specified functions. This two-page worksheet contains five multi-step problems.

One much-needed skill for young learners is direction giving. Have your class plan and draw a safe route for them to travel from home to school. They will also draw places and items that are in between home and school in order to build a...

Learners write directions explaining how to get from one location to another by using a map of their town and use simple maps to identify and locate places.

Students explore the tools used by Columbus to chart his latitude. They study the change of a location over time.

Students use north, south, east, and west to identify relative locations and provide directions.

Learners experiment and create an original monochromatic painting. They define tint, monochromatic, and shade. They analyze their paintings objectively and determine the connection between color and emotion.

Learners explore how to locate the location of an earthquake and why earthquakes happen more frequently in some areas more than others.

Students carefully observe prairie plants and record their observations in a science journal. They examine the root systems of grasses and flowers and surmise how these plants can grow together on the prairie.

Students explore the relationship between magnetism and electricity byby explaining how the model motor operates. They observe the the spinning of a coil of copper wire that is part of a circuit.

Create geometric art in your classroom. Learners use a ruler to mark lines on their paper, they then trace a lid to create a series of circles. They color in each circle using two tones or colors to create an interesting visual...

Students participate in a survival lesson that teaches four steps to take in the event of dealing with an emergency. The skill of improvising is practiced and its importance is stressed as being resourceful. Students also cover the...
