Here are a series of activities to practice catching a rolling ball. There are specific directions and cues that are being scaffolded in this PE lesson. The scaffolding will also allow for a check to see what the players might need to...

Young scholars investigate the concepts of shadows and how they are projected with objects different positions in relation to the sun. They conduct an experiment by observing objects in different positions. Then students record the...

In this interval worksheet, students find integrals of functions, use the first derivative test to classify points, and find the local and global extrema. This one-page worksheet contains eight multi-step problems.

Students investigate properties of circles. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similarity and congruence as they observe polygons. They investigate properties of two and three dimensional shape.

Students explain what a fossil is, learn six dinosaurs and tell one characteristic about each, then describe verbally what a dinosaur might have looked like.

Seventh graders examine a teacher-created database and identify specific variables and develop hypothesis statements as to their possible effect. They create a summary statement either proving or disproving their hypothesis.

Students consider different forms of energy. In this energy lesson, students investigate different forms of energy. Students explore the advantages and disadvantages of these forms of energy.

First graders demonstrate their ability to compare the lengths of three objects and determine which is the longest or shortest. Pupils match the correct answer to each of the seven story problems.  All lengths are expressed in...

Young learners use the provided worksheet to locate and record the names of 26 items that begin with letters of the alphabet. As an extra challenge, scavengers hunt the objects in alphabetical order.

It is only six short slides, but an acceptable outline of the integumentary system. General facts about the system, layers, sublayers, and functions are listed as bullet-points. What would make this presentation more engaging for your...

Learners research volcanoes on the Internet to compare/contrast the volcanoes on Earth to the ones found on Io, a moon of Jupiter. Students list the similarities and differences in science journals, and illustrate pictures of the volcanoes.

A simple activity for introductory chemistry classes is thoroughly explained in this lesson plan. Each individual receives a sealed box containing an unknown object. Inquisitors use indirect evidence to draw conclusions. This activity is...

Kindergarteners explore various representations and uses of numbers to develop number sense. They participate in an activity and arrange patterns into groups. Students compare the sets and describe the objects in each set.

Lesson seven out of this 20 activity unit focuses on setting up to attack. There is a lot to consider and know with regard to attacking to score a point. This piece focuses on passing the ball to the setter, who then focuses on setting...

Second graders examine both potential and kinetic energy. After discussing the difference and examples of potential and kinetic energy, they participate in a game of "Show Me Potential Energy/Show Me Kinetic Energy" using toy tops.

Designed to prepare seventh graders for the Georgia Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests, this activity can be used for any type of standardized test, as well as reinforcement of reading comprehension skills. Eleven questions about two...
