Curated OER
Color
In this color worksheet, students read where light comes from and the different colors created through a prism. Students compare light (additive color) with pigments (subtractive color). Then students complete 1 drawing, 6 matching, 22...
Curated OER
Color
In this color worksheet, students read about light, prisms, the RGB model and the CMYK model. Students match colors with their definition, they draw the color chart, they apply the RGB and CMYK models to make colors and they interpret...
Curated OER
Polite Listeners and Traffic Rules
Young scholars consider the necessity of rules. In this citizenship lesson plan, students consider the reasons for rules and they complete traffic light activities.
Curated OER
Color Recognition
Young scholars envision how space observatories make use of monochromatic filters to collect data on the color of objects in space. They see the actual colors of objects when they are in monochromatic light.
Curated OER
Red Means Danger
Students describe some common pests. They study three levels of pest control from the IPM pyramid.
