A chart with eight rows makes up this handout. The columns are labeled with two graphs ("x vs. t" and "v vs. t"), a written description, and a motion map. One cell in each row is filled in, leaving the rest for your class to complete....

Physics learners studying force and acceleration practice solving eight problems with this assignment. They calculate acceleration and deceleration, net force, and distances required for stopping a moving object. Kinematics equations and...

Your class will love playing phoneme hopscotch! Scholars choose a card, say the name of the object on the card, break the word into phonemes, count the phonemes, then hop that many spaces on the hopscotch mat. Super fun!

Early readers play a board game to practice segmenting phonemes. Players determine how many spaces to move by choosing a picture, saying the object's name on the card, then counting the phonemes they say.

Several things are missing in each picture, can you identify the missing objects? There are two descriptions here: one for a landscape, and the other shows a classroom setting. After reading the descriptions of each (in French), your...

When you engage learners in creating symmetrical objects you are also building their vocabulary and math sense. Kids discuss key words such as, asymmetrical, symmetrical, balance, tint, and shade. They use these elements of design to...

A great hands-on activity involving adding and subtracting, beginner mathematicians determine how many games can be played with 20 tickets. Instead of tickets, youngsters use 20 counters or linking cubes to represent the amount of...

Meant to be a pre-field trip activity, this can also serve as a cute and simple activity to use when your little ones are learning about evaporation or surface area. The children cut tiny t-shirts out of paper towel material, wet them,...
