Students match images of objects to their real counterpart. In this play-based matching lesson, children explore the playground and match real play equipment with what is seen in pictures. Lesson includes a language and literacy...

In this acceleration instructional activity, students solve 14 problems including finding work done on an object, the speed of an object, the distance traveled and the acceleration.

Seventh graders investigate 2-D and 3-D objects. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders begin to understand spatial reasoning. Students look at pictures of the NYC Skyline and discuss what it looks like from different views. Students use...

Fifth graders move a variety of objects in different ways to observe the different forces. In this physics lesson, 5th graders observe pushing, pulling, gravity, and friction. The hands-on component, and teamwork involved, should make...

Learners build parachutes for chicken eggs. In this physics lesson, students describe the forces acting on a falling object. They predict which of the three parachute models they made has the best chance of keeping the egg intact after a...

Students explore the tools of navigation.  In this shapes lesson plan, students navigate using direction cues to create a shape.  Students follow specific steps to create their shapes. Students use compasses to see the...

Students work in teams conducting an experiment that demonstrates why the height of an inclined plane affects the speed at which an object travels. They record data on a chart and calculate speed to reveal the results of three trials at...

Third graders analyze the effects of force on an object in motion and its relationship to a change in speed. This lesson uses a pendulum to demonstrate the principle.

Fourth graders lift objects with the fulcrum and load in various positions and then experiment with how much force is exerted by the effort and load arms of the lever. They place 5 paper clips in the load and move the fulcrum to match...

Students use their senses to record and collect data. In How Do I Classify Things in My World?, students practice classifying objects as living or nonliving. In Is it Real Or Pretend?, students group objects as real or pretend. In What...

High schoolers are able to build an understanding of linear motion. They are able to define and calculate the speed and acceleration of various objects. Students are able to differentiate betweeen instantaneous speed and average speed....

Students 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...

In this momentum learning exercise, students calculate momentum from the mass and velocity of an object. Students learn about the Law of Conservation of Momentum. This learning exercise has 8 matching, 6 fill in the blank, and 8 word...

Students become familiar with how to get information from the Internet. In this math and technology lesson plan, students measure objects on a measurement sheet found on a web site. They practice using a standard unit of measurement...

In this magnetic energy worksheet, students are given the formula to calculate the magnetic energy of an object. They use the formula to solve for the magnetic energy of the Earth, a geotail, the Sun, and a solar prominence given their...

Students explore light.  In this physical science light lesson, students display objects on a projection screen and investigate how light absorbs, refracts, transmits and reflects. Students discuss common features of light based on...

Second graders investigate the law of polarity. In this magnets lesson, 2nd graders discover how magnets are used in everyday life and which objects in our environment are magnetic. Students experiment with bar magnets and record...

Learners create a "portrait" box that contains symbolic representations of their own identity.  In this Lucas Samaras and Joseph Cornell art lesson, students discover ways that these two artists used symbols and objects to represent...

Fifth graders explore the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy.  In this energy lesson, 5th graders examine objects and describe  potential and kinetic energy of the objects. Students complete two worksheets.

In this measurement worksheet, students identify the units of measurement, the instrument used to measure and the method used to measure weight, mass, density, volume and length. They also answer questions about measurements and find the...

Students design to explore the world of objects as related to lace. Students will create a lace mural highlighting what they learn about the world of lace. Students brainstorm ideas via the internet websites.

First graders investigate the proximity of objects in space. In this proximity lesson, 1st graders place a felt spider in different locations on a teacher made book, and they describe its proximity to certain items in that book. Students...

Students formulate a definition of tessellations by comparing and contrasting different patterns and shapes of real objects. They discuss the relatioship between shapes and patterns as well as their function in the real world. Students...

For this adjective clause worksheet, students choose who, whom, or which to complete the 12 sentences. In the last 8 sentences students write an S if which or that is the subject of the adjective clause and O if which or that is the...
