Young scholars study map grids and explore how they can be used to locate positions of objects or features on a map. They read a story and then participate in a grid activity using a large map of the setting of the story.

Students learn about sorting and classifying objects by size while reading Eric Carle's "The Grouchy Ladybug". In this sorting and classifying lesson, students first listen to and interact with the story. They then look at cut-outs of...

Students observe similarities and differences of natural objects. In this observation lesson plan, students use a magnifying glass to identify the details of objects.

Students write a poem. In this writing lesson, students learn about Gwendolyn Brooks, a famous poet. Students discuss shape poetry and how it is written. Students choose an object from nature and write their own shape poem.

Pupils calculate the distance and acceleration of an object. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and create table and graphs to analyze it. They complete a lab as they collect and analyze data on acceleration and distance.

Fifth graders explain why objects thrown upward falls back to Earth. In this earth science instructional activity, 5th graders identify the forces acting on objects. They discuss why planets do not float in space.

Tenth graders have been introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation, and have practiced translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane.

Students assemble a spider tea cake by counting out their objects and following directions

Tenth graders experiment with detection techniques for black holes by modeling the rotation of galaxies with larger and larger masses in the center. They discover while some events cannot be directly observed they may be observable in...

Students name objects that are the same size, shape, and weight as the human brain. They touch the model brain, feeling the folds, etc. They make connections to the chart displaying the brain-like objects. They touch the 'potato flake'...

Students draw arrows to show the direction the compass needle is pointing when it is placed around different points of a penny and a bar magnet. Students must then answer questions about the activity on a provided worksheet.

Students examine and modify a swinging apparatus. They describe the motion of an object by its position, direction of motion, and speed. Students measure motion using a graph.

Learners give examples of each of Newton's three laws as they occur in everyday experiences. They visually represent and differentiate the difference between a direct proportion and an inverse proportion. Students explain how the...

Students follow written directions to construct their own tangram. For this tangram lesson, students use their tangram to develop original figures that illustrate characters and/or objects from their favorite nursery rhyme. Students also...

Students construct a car based on directions given. In this physics lesson, students calculate average speed using distance and time information. They collect data and create a graph of distance vs. time.

Students review basic shapes, such as circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles, find objects in those shapes in classroom, watch Clifford's Fun with Shapes video, practice reproducing four shapes, and rotate through four classroom...

In this ordinal numbers learning exercise, students follow the 5 directions to help them learn to use ordinal numbers. Students draw on the 5 people and then draw an image using the second set of ordinal number directions.

Students use the Internet to delve into the relationship between fores and motion on a sizable object. They predict where they think the temperature and pressure be the greatest, and where the pressure be the lowest.

Students create individual press-in mosaics using a variety of bought and found objects.

Third graders use the book "The Greedy Triangle" to practice measuring perimeter and area. They also calculate the length of objects.

Students explore finger painting and painting with feathers and recreate the look of objects in nature. They read the book, 'It Looked Like Spilt Milk,' create a shaving cream print, paint with feathers, and construct a mirror image on...
