In this counting to ten activity, learners solve four problems in which objects in a set are counted. Students then draw more objects to make ten in all. Learners then write the number 10.

In this momentum worksheet, students solve 6 problems including finding the momentum of objects given their mass and velocity and applying the concepts of the conservation of momentum to solve for the speed and direction of moving objects.

Second graders compare and contrast animate and inanimate objects. In this environmental science lesson, 2nd graders create simple food webs. They observe their environment and create a collage about it.

First graders explore two-dimensional shapes. Individually, children follow directions to draw shapes. Learners use shaving cream, geoboards, yarn, marshmallows, and toothpicks to create shapes. As a class, 1st graders brainstorm...

Students discover that proportions are made up of equal ratios each containing the same building blocks. They, using the Internet, apply their knowledge of direct relationships and proportions to problems in planetary science.

Students define "metaphor" and discuss examples of it in writing. They look carefully at a photograph by Dorothea Lange and discuss its relationship to the concept of metaphor. They write effectively about their own experience, picking...

Fourth graders examine how weather patterns generally move from west to east across the United States, and how clouds are formed and are related to the water cycle. They view and discuss a PowerPoint presentation of the types of clouds,...

Students take a pre-trip quiz about the Statue of Liberty and take a photo tour on the Internet. They then produce a grid drawing of an object and use a known measurement to estimate unknown measurements.

Fourth graders investigate pitches of sound.  For this physical science lesson, 4th graders participate in two activities that help them explore pitch--one activity has them working with string telephones and the amount of tension...

Students have the opportunity to use model-building as a way to help comprehend the forces and phenomena at work in the world around them. They describe gravity as a universal force that pulls everything toward the center of the earth....

In this motion worksheet, students will use Newton's third law of motion to compare the force of objects on Earth with objects on Jupiter. This worksheet has 5 short answer questions.

Students define metaphor in both art and writing. In this metaphor instructional activity, students examine a photograph by Dorothea Lange and discuss the metaphor that is displayed in the picture. They write about an object that...

In this transportation worksheet, 3rd graders red short passages about different forms of transportation and how each evolved.  students then answer 15 multiple choice and short answer questions with 1-2 questions following directly...

Fifth graders explore measurement. In this measurement lesson, 5th graders review fractions, simplifying and using rulers to practice measuring by inches and centimeters. Students are shown how to measure and given a...

Eighth graders draw the paths of the planets in the solar system. In this astronomy instructional activity, 8th graders calculate speed of objects using distance and time information. They research about the work of scientists in the...

Students make accurate drawings of a classmate's shadow. They note position of the sun in the sky. They identify a connection between the direction of the shadow and the location of the sun. They observe changes in shadows over time.

Fourth graders discover the meaning of the different objects on the State Seal. They identify changes in the State Seal over time students hypothesize why elements have changed students suggest what elements should represent the State of...

Students explore the building of a pyramid and how pulleys were used to change the direction of applied force. They demonstrate the mechanical advantage of using a pulley and apply it to modern engineering.

Sixth graders build a speaker as they investigate the roles of electricity and magnetism. They discover the properties of magnets, create an electromagnet, and determine the direction of a magnetic field. They show cause and effect...

Students establish the angular velocity of the Sun and determine how long it takes the Sun to make one complete revolution. They determine what angular velocity is and how it can be useful in determining the speed and direction of any...

Fourth graders are introduced to the various types of measurements. Using a recipe, they practice measuring out the correct amount of ingredients while making the food. They also practice using a scale and following the directions on a...

Students examine the use of a sundial to tell apparent time. In this sundial lesson, students watch a teacher demonstration using a flashlight to create shadows. They discuss what happens to shadows of different objects as the position...

Learners create a paper dart airplane and measure its flight pattern. In this flight lesson, students follow the included directions to build their own paper airplane. The learners change the aileron configurations to see how it affects...

Students perform experiments to learn about their sense of taste and smell.  In this taste and smell lesson plan, students watch as a blindfolded student tries to identify sounds and the direction they originate from.  Students...
