In this American transportation history worksheet, students read about various forms of transportation and respond to 16 multiple choice and short answer questions regarding trains, streetcars, automobiles, and trucks.

First graders physically form the letters of the alphabet in small groups. They move around demonstrating various locomotive skills, and form the letter that the teacher calls out.

Students play a version of water tag under close adult supervision. In waist high water, several students are "it" and the remaining class members have to get to the other side of the pool without being tagged. The first student to...

First graders practice their "vocabulary of school" by placing their word cards in the appropriate bucket. They may be asked to use a different locomotive skill as they move between the four buckets.

Students investigate the motion studies of Thomas Eakins. They design motion studies as Eakins did using photography. They use digital photography to capture human motion and draw a representation.

First graders demonstrate telling time on clocks. They stand at one end of a field while the teacher calls out a time. They )cats) who set their clocks to the correct time try to run past the teacher (bulldog) without getting caught.
