Students take a field trip to Harcourt Park in California to view the results of river erosion and an active fault line. In this science lesson plan, students go to different parts of the park to discuss the results.

Students study the food guide pyramid and use it to create their own eating program.In this health lesson plan students visit websites to calculate their BMR, activity level and weight then create a nutrition plan

Students compare the weathering of different-sized materials. Comparisons are made and data analyzed to reach conclusions about the process of weathering. Applications can be made for the higher grades.

Ninth graders explore evolution. They study a cartoon scenario of a rabbit population in which there is selection and a change of gene frequency. Students discuss frequencies, evolution, and speciation.

Students compare the weathering of materials. in this weathering lesson, students experiment with the chemical and physical weathering of different materials. Students use salt and water as an example of how weathering occurs.

Young scholars explore plate tectonics and the formations of the Earth's surface and why maps are distorted.  For this Earth's surface lesson students complete a lab and answer questions. 

Students create stories with better structure when they are able to focus on its characters, setting, and plot. Teacher creates settings, character, and problem cartons with information written on strips of paper.

Students write an Indian tale explaining a natural event, an animal characteristic,

First graders identity at least one community helper and what that helper does to help their community. To start the lesson, ask students if they know what a community helper is. students role-play some of these jobs that their community...

Students explain the processes of plate tectonics and volcanism that resulted in the formation of the Hawaiian Islands. They describe, compare, and contrast S waves and P waves. They explain how

Third graders measure the speed of sound using scientific investigative techniques.

Young scholars complete and participate in various guided reading activities about dinosaurs. They read poems, complete a graphic organizer, complete a cloze activity, and develop a list of dinosaur facts.

Students visualize, in three dimensions, features represented by contour lines on a topographic map. They see that the different elevations shown on a two dimensional topographic map can be used to build a 3-D model.

Second graders draw and compare parts of volcano. They investigate parts of a volcano and distinguish between magma and lava.

Students explore the concept of plate tectonics. They experiment to prove and explain plate tectonics.

Students identify the three layers of the earth: core, mantle and crust. They demonstrate knowledge of the concepts of convergent and divergent motions of the earth and an understanding of plate tectonics.

Second graders conduct experiments with rocks to observe weathering. They read books, examine websites and watch a video to examine how rocks break down into soil.

Students use construction paper to model the layers of the earth.

Students explore how Africa appears to be tearing apart from Asia and tha the other continents are moving and oceans are changing size.

Students study a common theory on how the solar system was formed and examine the relative scale of the size and distances among the bodies of the Solar System.

Young scholars examine how there are many elements that need to be considered before building a bridge. Groups are given materials and they are to make a structure that can hold an object in suspension.

Students compare and contrast photosynthesis and chemosynthesis as sources of primary production for biological communities, and describe sources of primary production observed in biological communities associated with volcanoes of the...

Young scholars discover how volcanic processes differ at convergent and divergent tectonic plate boundaries. They identify three geologic features that are associated with most volcanoes on Earth.

Learners research Los Angeles and its surrounding communities. They create digital presentations of the information they have gathered by answering the question included in the lesson plan.
