Students use their bodies in daily activities, by promoting a regular routine of using large and small motor skills, personal space, and boundary awareness. They move a scarf to the rhythm of the different kinds of music the teacher...

In this physics worksheet, students tackle the hard questions about scientific theory and take a look at the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics.

In this black hole worksheet, students use a given equation that relates the rate of matter falling into a black hole to the power emitted by the black hole to determine accreted mass.

Second graders identify the attributes of various shapes and estimate the weight of the objects. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders identify the attributes of concrete objects and use a pan balance to weight them.

Students explore the concept of topographical maps.  In this topographical map instructional activity, students discuss how airplanes know where to fly.  Students use topographical maps to simulate a field trip on the...

Students examine their own intelligence to find areas of strength after studying the multiple intelligences.  In this diverse learning styles lesson, students analyze how the school environment fosters or fails students of diverse...
