Students explore the four forces of flight. They investigate the four forces of flight: lift, drag, thrust and weight (gravity). They experiment with flight-testing various objects commonly found around the house and constructing paper...

Students simulate block and tackles to lift heavy objects. They lift cargo by hand with the whip and the two-fold purchase to simujlate what crew members do aboard ships. They measure the effort and distance pulled for a gun tackle, luff...

Young scholars review their physical models of the objects on their playground at school. Using the model, they convert it into a map with a scale and key. To end the lesson, they use the map to locate different objects and measure the...

In this art worksheet, students make a folk-art style painting of a room in their home. Students select a room. They choose a secret number and draw items in sets of the number they selected. Students are directed to keep their painting...

In this preposition worksheet, students "walk around the room" to find objects listed, then write a sentence about their location using prepositions.

Students investigate the relationship between shape of object and moment of inertia. In this physics lesson, students collect data from the experiment and use spreadsheet to graph them. They discuss how load affects deflection.

Second graders practice skipping and hopping and understanding self space. Music begins playing and students are directed on what movement skill to do. When music stops students need to find a "home" by hopping or skipping into their...

Students state and directly experience two laws of Physics (Law of Gravity, Law of Centrifugal Force) that affect weather. They explain the observations made when using the "hurricane machine" and relate them to other events and phenomenon.

Students measure distances and directions using paces and a compass. They determine their own pace, explore how to read a compass bearing, and how to take bearings on given sites.

Students throw in their letter or vegetable when the said object or letter is said by the teacher. They also explore how to make a parachute ripple and make waves.

Students interpret aerial photographs. They view aerial photographs or satellite-produced images to locate and identify physical and human features. They study satellite images and label their images for bodies of water, clouds,...

Sixth graders use number cubes to explore volume of two-dimensional shapes. They roll a die and construct a shape using the numbers rolled as measurements of the sides. They estimate the volume of a given object, and then use the...

Students observe pictures of themselves using film and discuss how they think the image is processed to produce a photograph. They are introduced to photogram paper comparing it to photograph paper but understanding that no film is...

Students investigate the concept of coin design. They look at the inscriptions found on coins by handling them in class. The design is found in the state of West Virginia. The objects pictured on the coin are described by students and...

Fourth graders, after being given a box of cornbread mix, follow the directions to make the cornbread. They utilize measuring cups to mix all the ingredients together and incorporate adding simple fractions while mixing up the cornbread.

Students explain the steps in the scientific method. In this inquiry lesson, students construct a CEENBoT using website directions. They diagnose and fix the problem after the teacher cause it to malfunction.
