Students explore the changing density of water. In this physics lesson, students investigate how an object's density determines whether it will float or sink in water. They explain why this unique property of is important to living things.

Students examine the messages given to others based on their clothing. In groups, they compare and contrast the clothes of today with those from the 1980s. While being shown a picture of a piece of clothing, they practice object...

Fourth graders investigate what natural events cause rocks to break apart and differentiate between erosion and weathering. They conduct an experiment with plaster of paris to observe why some rocks are hard and others break, and...

Students view images from the Metropolitan Museum of Art web site, and list the objects and figures in the image. They discuss the way their eyes move around the canvas and take note of where their eyes fall, follow and finish. Students...

Fourth graders observe, measure, and record data on the basic elements of weather over a period of time (i.e., precipitation, air temperature, wind speed and direction, and air pressure). Then, they make a barometer and keep record of...

In this reading worksheet, students read and learn about writers' use of figurative language to create vivid pictures with words. Students are directed to specific pages in The Night of the Twisters by Ivy Ruckman and answer 20 questions...

In this energy instructional activity, students read about work and how forces effect the work that is done to an object. Students complete 10 matching, 14 fill in the blank, and 10 word problems.

Students simulate a predator-prey interaction in an ecosystem. Students use different size squares cut from paper to represent predators and prey. They simulate the interactions of the species by following instructions for the capture of...

In this momentum learning exercise, students calculate the velocity, distance traveled, or speed for different objects. This learning exercise has 10 different word problems.

For this writing the fraction worksheet, students observe groups of objects divided into parts and write the fraction for the colored part. Students solve 10 problems.

Students explore water, molecules, and surface tension. In this floatation lesson, students discover why some objects are able to float on water as they follow the procedures included in this activity.

Young scholars investigate the properties of magnets. In this magnetism lesson, students construct a magnetic crane and observe the attraction of metal objects.

Students view a demonstration to investigate mirror images. In this plane mirror lesson, students view a teacher demonstration of a plane mirror and the images it creates. They use meter sticks to investigate the angles of reflection and...

Third graders participate in a demonstration of the moon's phases. In this moon phase lesson, 3rd graders watch as the teacher demonstrates moon phases with a bright light and a Styrofoam ball. They answer questions associated with the...

Tenth graders explore and define the radius and diameter of a circle. In this geometry activity, 10th graders calculate the circumference and area of a circle using real world objects and shapes. They discuss chords and lines...

Students follow detailed directions to use the GeoGebra program. In this mathematics lesson, students find the nth term of a sequence, and use line art to approximate a Bezier's curve. Students locate points and segments on a circle. The...

Students explore physical science by participating in a water properties experiment. In this surface tension instructional activity, students utilize pennies, water, a dropper and soapy water to test the different surface tensions with...

For this layers of the atmosphere worksheet, students paste labels for each layer of the atmosphere on a diagram and they add pictures of objects that belong in each layer. They answer questions about the main layers, they determine...

In this position of objects worksheet, students practice recognizing left and right by following the coloring directions for the items in each of 6 boxes.

In this positions of objects worksheet, students practice recognizing left and right by circling the shapes according to the directions for 6 exercises.

Fourth and fifth graders learn to classify quadrilaterals and use more than one name for each. They follow the directions and classify three quadrilaterals. There are also activities which can be done with a partner.

In this pronouns worksheet, students learn to recognize nominative or objective pronouns. Students read ten sentences and write every pronoun they see in each.

Introduce young scholars to relationship between addition and subtraction with this very simple worksheet. There are 2 problems to solve, each problem shows unifix cubes relaying an addition problem and its subtraction companion.

Stability is key when building a bridge. Scholars explore the forces acting upon bridges through an analysis of Newton's Laws and Hooke's Law. The activity asks individuals to apply their learning by building a bridge of their own.
