Pupils identify shapes and manipulate 2 and 3 dimensional objects. They view objects from different perspectives and review relative positions (near, far, between). They sing a shape song.

Students compare and order objects according to length. They see that to conserve length, meaning that the length of an object is not altered by a change in its spatial position, even though it may appear to look longer or shorter than...

The students learn about friction and forces through direct instruction and an investigation. They use measurement skills, observation skills, predicting, and drawing conclusions based on data collected during the investigation. Students...

Students discuss the importance of using sensory words to describe objects; talking about words that refer to size, shape, texture, sound, smell, etc. They select a few objects around the classroom and use sensory words to describe.

In this basic uses of prepositions resource worksheet, students examine a the wide variety of uses of prepositions. They study prepositions of place, position, direction, time, and manner by reading the examples.

In this inclined planes worksheet, students find machines at home that screw and record the object and the direction of the screw. Students find 5 machines.

In this triangles and quadrilaterals activity, students solve 7 short answer problems. Students find objects around the house that are constructed from triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, squares, rectangles. Students sketch the...

Students explore types of motion. In this motion experiment, students observe how objects move. Students work in small groups to discover the laws of motion.

Students count, match and arrange unordered fixed objects. Millie's Math House Cookie Factory educational software is used in this lesson.

Students reate an original crayon resist painting of a bugs life. They Choose 1 or more bugs to draw in composition and simplify objects into simple shapes, forms, and patterns students draw objects with spontaneity and imagination.

Students investigate the various techniques that studenT book illustrators utilize such as paper collage, die-cut pages, and object stencils for relief printing.

Fifth graders arrange the classroom using all the moveable objects and through the exploration of area and perimeter. They determine the area of the classroom, create and label model pieces of furniture using graph paper, and create a...

Students observe experiments in density and describe the results. In the experiment, milk, corn syrup, and oil are added in different orders to three glasses, while one other glass contains only water. As objects are dropped into each...

In this X vs. T graph, students sketch velocity vs. time graphs corresponding to the following descriptions of the motion of an object. Students also draw the velocity vs. time graphs for an object whose motion produced the distance vs....

Students examine parallax and angular measurements.  In this investigative lesson students calculate distances of objects and map their results.

Students investigate archeology. In this archeology instructional activity, students research the process of excavation. Students participate in a mock-excavation and sort objects by physical properties.

Students construct a weather vane using their knowledge of some geometric shapes. In this weather lesson, students work in pairs to create a weather vane in order to measure wind direction. Students follow precise...

Students examine the Russian culture under the Czars and how there was a demand for intricate and beautiful objects. They attempt to create a "jewel-like" object out of an egg using a Spring template supplied by the teacher.

Students create a two, three, or four-dimensional collage or assemblage. They use shapes, colors, images, objects, and textures to create their collage.

Ninth graders complete a unit of lessons on the history of our knowledge of celestial objects. They conduct Internet research, plot the motion of a planet, construct a model of the sun's apparent motions, and create diagrams of the solar...

Students work together to discover the relationship between the angle of catapults and the flight of different objects. They discover the heavier the object the more force is needed. They examine how engineers use this information to...

Students demonstrate how to take bearings using a compass. In pairs, they select objects in the classroom then write down its first initial and bearing. They exchange papers and try to disciver their partner's object.

Students explore tessellations that are found in nature and everyday objects. They observe the works of M.C. Escher. Students create their own tessellations using pencil and paper.

Seventh graders publish a letter and spreadsheet using the computer. They build a three-dimesnsional object with construction paper and develop a Christmas object using coordinates on a graph. Students compose a response in their journals.
