Second graders examine how their choices affect the environment. They identify different types of pollution and its source. They ask questions to end the instructional activity.

First graders study, observe, and use a simple machine. They study necessary safety and review posted safety rules related to using a machine and identify strategies for reporting any accidents or injuries.

Students engage in a instructional activity to investigate some of the properties of sound. They create sounds and listen to the vibrations that are made while listing all the sounds that are heard. This is done while the eyes are closed...

Young scholars create an airplane by listening to directions. They also to measure the pieces for the airplane and compare and contrast their test flights.

Students identify healthy foods. In this nutrition lesson, students review the five food groups and categorize healthy and unhealthy foods on a chart. Students develop their own menus.

Students see the difference between weight and mass when they examine the method of measuring each of them.

Students work together to examine inclined planes. They create a plan to raise rocks to build pyramids. They discover the changes that occur when the angle is increased or decreased.

Students identify how the pitch and the loudness of an instrument can be altered by examining the sounds made by three instruments.

Teaching students about pushes, pulls, and motion? Use this site to plan lessons for students to conduct investigations to compare the effects on the motion of an object when pushes or pulls come from different directions or strengths.

Learn about forces (push or pull), gravity, and friction in this module by training dolphins.

Experiment with different sizes of parachutes to find out if size matters when slowing the descent of the parachute. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and introduction,...

A learning module reviewing how much force is needed to push or pull objects. Also learn about the force of gravity.

Students will explore what they can do with balls, cars, marbles, and ramps and document findings in their science journals. This will engage their curiosity, allow them to make self-discoveries, and explore self-interests.

The NSTA vetted source includes resources to teach how to analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull. Included are assessment ideas, videos,...

In this document, we will try to answer a fundamental question of physical science, "Why do things start to move, slow down, speed up, stop moving or change direction?" In answering these core questions we can develop concepts that can...

Students are asked to create a bungee jump that will protect a hard-boiled egg from breaking. A force sensor is needed to measure the push/pull forces on the egg. Data is inserted into force-time graphs. After completing three...

Students will understand that pushes and pulls can have different strengths and directions. Students investigate the effects of these different pushes and pulls.

Cody the tour guide is learning about forces on the island. Try to help him learn about pushing and pulling.

Nikos is cleaning up and organizing in his family's theater. He finds out that different movements need different motions; sometimes a push, and sometimes a pull. Help him figure out which force to use.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Featurea the definition of combining forces: Pulling down and pushing up, forces acting in opposite directions, forces acting in the same direction.

Join Tony as he discovers the effects of forces on all sorts of pizzeria objects.

In group students will learn to identify pushes and pulls. Students will learn how a push or pull will affect various items. This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in Math and Science University, GEMS-U Project.

This resource demonstrates shrink wrap science.
