Students view the Bird of Paradise quilt and observe the design-work in the quilt.  In this counting quilt lesson, students will count to find repeated pictures in the quilt.  Students will represent their families in...

Learners follow a piece of tape around the school and write down the items they see. In this observations lesson plan, students discuss what they saw and didn't see based on other's observations.

Eighth graders define a planet by the orbit around the sun, have a large enough gravitational force to hold a sphere shape and needs to clear the neighboorhood of it own orbital zone. They describe comets, meteoroids, meteor, meteorites...

Learners define the concept of classification. In groups, they categorize a series of objects into categories they identify. As a class, they participate in a variety of activities to examine the concept of natural selection. To end...

Sixth graders develop a rule for finding the volume of rectangular solids using colored cubes. They investigate the properties of solid figures and find the volume of an object by counting units. Students fill spaces with standard-sized...

Basically, your class reads about different garden plants from an included handout and seed packets that you provide, and then uses a grid to plan out where to place the plants. They can practice counting with the seeds, grouping,...

Students explore what work is, measure work done in moving an object, and tell how energy is related to work in both machines and the human body. In this measuring work lesson plan, students walk up a flight of stairs, measure the height...

Young scholars participate in this program that heightens their awareness and curiosity of nature as well as their sense of adventure and exploring new surroundings. They identify and choose an object from nature after exploring it with...

Students engage in a instructional activity about personification. They read passages from Charlotte's Web  which are connected to the concept of looking for key words to name the character. Students review the definition of...

Young scholars identify spider parts, and distiguish between web building and wandering spiders. They complete a spider webquest.

Students experiment with varied balls to determine the bounce factor in centimeters. In this physics instructional activity, students experiment to find the height a ball must be dropped from the have the highest bounce rate. Students...

Students research about the characteristics of celestial bodies using a database. In this space science instructional activity, students collect data such as brightness, apparent color and size by observing the night sky. They share...

Sixth graders solve for the area and perimeter. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders investigate polygons and use a formula to find the area and perimeter. They find the area and perimeter of various polygons.

First graders gather, record and interpret data. In this math lesson plan, 1st graders collect data from their classmates regarding their favorite types of apples. Students use the data collected to explore the use of real graphs and...

Fifth graders design their own house, while also using problem-solving skills involving perimeter and area. They exchange houses with a partner and find the perimeter and area of the window, doors, and front side of the house.

Third graders examine how multiplication is a quicker and neater form of addition and how they can simulate the concept of groups and (sets) to construct the visual effect of multiplication by way of forming groups of (2's) (3's) and (4's).

Sixth graders explore geometry by utilizing colored cubes in class. In this volume lesson, 6th graders identify the different shapes they can create using their colored cubes and identify the formula for finding volume. Students create...

Learners explore things that move in a directional path.

Students use video cameras as a way to analyze and understand motion.  In this motion lesson students complete an activity that helps them better understand motion  and calculate time.

Students identify the digraph /ch/ in written and spoken language. Students practice identifying the initial and final placement of the digraph /ch/ in words by identifying pictures containing the sound. They read a decodable story...
