Students discuss micro-organisms. In this micro-organisms instructional activity, students identify which micro-organisms are harmful and which ones are beneficial. Students complete a worksheet which is included in the instructional...

Students classify sediments based on their physical characteristics, such as size, shape and color. They identify and describe rocks and minerals that are common to their region of the state.

Students explore physics. In this science lesson, students discuss physics in their everyday lives. Students complete a physics worksheet.

Studentsexplore how gravity affects the operation of toys and simple machines. They watch a video and experiment with simple machines.

Students use a website to name and compare external body parts of humans and other animals.

Students use a website to help them recognize that sound is generated in a variety of ways and from different sources. They determine that sounds vary in tone and loudness, and learn there are different ways to describe sound.

Students know that humans and some other animals have bony skeletons inside their body. They know that other animals have skeletons on the outside of their bodies. They explain the role of both kinds of skeletons.

Students participate in an online activity to explain the conductivity of different materials and the effect of changing the power source.

Students participate in an online lesson plan to reinforce the similarities and differences in plants and animals. They classify living things according to observable characteristics.
