Third graders examine simple machines. In this simple machines instructional activity, 3rd graders observe simple machines at work in a video, then experiment with creating their own simple machines to move objects.  

In this geometry instructional activity, students differentiate between direct and indirect measurements. They create a table with their findings. There are 9 questions.

Students test different objects such as dominoes, marshmallows, slides, and more to test their force, motion, gravity, friction, and the concept of matter. In this force and motion lesson plan, students understand that the force an...

Learners focus on several objects which causes them to move in different directions during this outdoor activity.

Students examine the concepts of balanced forces, unbalanced forces, and resulting net forces. They participate in a force and motion demonstration by pushing students in various directions, and calculating and identifying the resulting...

Fifth graders observe and demonstrate measuring and comparing mass using a balance. They discuss the definition of mass and the units of measurement used, observe how a balance is used, and with a partner balance the baskets of the...

Ninth graders determine when work is being done on an object. They define work and calculate work for several examples. They define and give examples of force and distance and define power and calculate power. They determine the...

In this motion graphs worksheet, students learn about how motion of objects can be described using a graph. Students then answer 10 fill in the blank, 10 short answer, and 5 problems to solve.

Students infer the galaxy shape.  In this structure of the galaxy lesson students observe the distribution of objects in the sky and answer questions.

students will explore making shadows and tracking the movement of an object over the course of a day to look for patterns. It is best to couple this shadow activity with reading the book, Bear Shadow, and making a map of Bear's...

Students compare and contrast objects according to their length. In groups, they travel to different centers in their classroom to participate in different sorting activities. They are introduced to how to use a ruler and reading the...

Students practice their writing skills for describing place and location using prepositions. They find hidden objects and report to a recorder the exact directions for finding that object. Recorders write the directions.

Eighth graders participate in using algebraic proportional reasoning to find the missing amount that balances on a scale. Substitution is used to discover the missing objects on a scale. They answer multiple choice questions that are...

Students write a story. In this writing and drawing lesson, students select one object and write about events from that object's perspective. Students draw pictures to go with their story.

Students use positional words to describe the location of objects and demonstrate the ability to follow multi-step oral directions. Seasonal shapes are decorated in relation to the directions and positions stated by the positional word.

Students discover how remote sensing is used to identify the signatures of life even when the particular life form is not directly observable. They investigate how a satellite "sees" objects on the surface of Earth.

For this preposition worksheet, students are given a list of prepositions and their objects to use when completing a variety of activities, fill in the blanks and finding prepositional phrases.

Second graders research the design of and purpose of magnets. They investigate a group of objects to discover which things are attracted to magnets. Observe the effect that lodestone has on iron fillings. Summarize observations.

Learners must plan, design, and conduct an experiment that answers the scientific question: "Come up with a question that addresses the factors (variables) of the water and its effect on whether an object floats or sinks."

Fourth graders review the meaning of Newton's 3rd Law and discuss the forces that are acting on a book setting on a table. They draw a diagram of the book on the table and use arrows to illustrate the direction the forces are acting.

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

Pupils choose meaningful objects for a still-life arrangement and paint it using watercolors and write an artist’s statement. For this still life art lesson, students identify and analyze the characteristics of a still-life painting...

In this science worksheet, students answer 10 true or false questions about kinds of materials and their characteristics. They complete a chart by naming 4 different materials, naming an object made from that material, and indicate one...

Students identify the length of an inch. In this measurement lesson plan, students read Inch by Inch and predict how many inches long various objects are. Students practice measuring the objects by using an inch ruler.
