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 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.

In this science worksheet, students match each of the descriptions on the right to the correct scientist listed on the right. There are thirty scientists to identify and match on the sheet.

For this earth science quiz worksheet, learners respond to 20 short answer and true or false questions regarding earth science topics.

Students plot the current distribution of glaciers around the Earth and see if there any major trends where glaciers appear to be either growing or shrinking at abnormally high rates.

Pupils investigate how glaciers flow through valleys. They answer discussion questions, and in small groups create a simulation of a glacier using a plastic shoe box, water, cornstarch, and pebbles, evaluating their results on a worksheet.

Students discover where glaciers exist and how they move. In this glacier instructional activity, students work in groups to create a glacier in a replica valley and observe its properties.

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.
