In this interactive illustration analysis activity, students view illustrations of Winnie the Pooh and friends and complete a 16 questions true or false exercise.

Students describe the movement of the Earth as it relates to the sun and formulate a hypothesis for the movement and the changing length of the shadow. They express the relationship between the sun and the Earth and how that causes the...

Students explore materials and their properties. In this matter lesson, students identify objects and describe their properties. Students test and sort materials using an interactive whiteboard, followed by a group discussion of what was...

First graders learn the names of geometric shapes and about African cultures. In this geometry and culture lesson, 1st graders describe real world objects and learn to name them with geometric terms such as square, circle, and triangle....

Sixth graders explore the components of science fiction in a science and literacy lesson. As they define and record definitions of the term on the board, learners identify a text as science fiction using the terms they have...

Fifth graders connect their knowledge of polygons and polyhedrons. In this geometric shapes lesson, 5th graders identify and classify two- and three-dimensional objects. Students construct a polyhedron out of polygons and describe their...

Students identify and name different geometrical shapes. In this math activity, students distinguish odd from even numbers. They describe the properties of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.

Students investigate circles and spheres. In this space shapes lesson, students compare and contrast two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Students investigate the relationship between plane and space shapes.

Students explore various tenses to use proper grammar. They practice tenses using random objects to describe events. They create timelines to examine different tenses. They role-play situations to practice the correct structure of grammar.

Students brainstorm and describe why far-away landscape features look less clear than nearby objects. They become aware of and recognize the effects of atmospheric perspective in realistic paintings and then create a realistic landscape...

First graders create a computer slide show. They select pictures from the gallery, write descriptive words or phrases about the pictures, and develop a three slide presentation.

Fourth graders are shown a slideshow of paintings showing landscapes. They create their own landscape painting using proportional figures.

Students describe, identify and compare two-dimensional figures. They also name and demonstrate the relative position of objects using directional words. They sort and compare two-dimensional figures and three-dimensional objects...

For this unit III: 3 worksheet, learners describe motion in words and graph drawings. Students calculate the instantaneous velocity and average velocity. Learners also graph the displacement of the object in the word problems.

Students explore measuring with metric rulers. In this math lesson, students measure two-dimensional objects using metric units.

Students become "shape detectives" as they identify, name, create and describe common shapes within pictures and objects found within the learning environment. Suggestions include incorporating shapes into all learning areas and daily...

Young scholars explore the functions of major eukaryotic organelles. They compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Given diagrams and drawings, students take turns drawing structures, discussing their function, and...

Students examine the importance of making and recording observations and accurately describing an object.  In this biology lesson students work in groups and report to the class what they learned.

Students work with a set of objects to set up both quantitative and qualitative classification systems. As a group, students follow an example to design and complete two classification systems using a set of objects provided. ...

Students discuss different landscapes. In this map lesson, students describe what they see when they travel between home and school. Students use a landscape picture map to locate the places or objects they see.

Students study textures and identify textures using satellite images. In this texture lesson, students study various objects and define their textures. Students feel crayon rubbings and sort them into groups. Students use a book with...

First graders work in small groups to observe the tendency to float or sink for a variety of objects in water. They sort the objects and discuss their observations. They use aluminum foil to construct a boat and test it for weight capacity.
