In this Language Arts worksheet, students read a poem called "Let's Pretend." The poem includes descriptions of different animals, such as a bird and a horse.

Students create their own balance to determine a difference in the weight (and composition) of cents made in different years.

Students explore convection and how it happens in the earth's atmosphere.

Students order five weighted plastic eggs in order from lightest to heaviest.

Students identify comparatives and superlatives. Students read article on comparatives and superlatives. They explore spelling patterns. Students rewite adjectives to form comparatives and superlatives and complete a worksheet.

Students practice the 4 question strategy to form more questions and develop further experiments. The four questions are engage, explore, explain, and elaborate. They use the 4 question strategy on an investigation involving the mass...

Pupils conduct an investigation with cereal that simulates the extraction of minerals from rock. They mix iron fortified cereal until the iron is extracted and shows on a magnetic stick that is painted white.

Second graders conduct investigations to explore matter. In this states of matter lesson, 2nd graders complete four activities to analyze the three states of matter. Students analyze the properties of solids, liquids, and gases. Students...

Students conduct an experiment to simulate an oil spill and identify the characteristics of oil in water. They evaluate the effectiveness of various cleanup methods. They discuss the how to clean up an oil spill, and what causes oil...

Students participate in several density lab activities in order to clarify the misconceptions that solids sink and liquids float. Students work with triple beam balances to find mass of objects to calculate density.

Students investigate the science of flight while creating their own gliders and test them with the lift supplied by wind in the outdoors. They create a chart to make observations of the flight patterns of different gliders taking note of...

In this science worksheet, students look for the meaning of the water cycle and its relation to the formation of clouds. They read the information about the different types of clouds.

In this mathematics worksheet, 1st graders identify which items pictured weighs more or less than a pound. Then they circle the objects that weigh more and place an X on the object that weigh less than a pound.

In this science investigation worksheet, students follow the directions to mix raisins in clear carbonated soda to watch them sink and rise.

In this mixture separation worksheet students problem solve a variety of ways to separate mixtures. After generating solution ideas to separating mixtures of solids prompts on the one page sheet students are prompted to respond in short...

Students explore the concept of momentum. In this physics lesson, students observe and compare two "carts" being released to move in various situations, and draw conclusions as to why the carts moved or didn't move.

Students explore the concept of "transfer of momentum". For this physics lesson, students observe the results of two objects or people as they make contact in different ways. Students on roller blades and model cars of different weights...

In this mathematical concepts worksheet, students complete math word problems dealing with fractions, multiplication, probability, and more. Students complete 8 problems total.

Students explain how conservation of energy applies to roller coasters. In this physics lesson plan, students construct their own coasters according to a specified criteria. They make modifications to their design when necessary. 

In this force worksheet, students answer short answer questions about pushing and pulling different objects. Students complete 15 questions.

Students, after identifying and examining the relationship of temperature and air masses in association with smog and pollution, create a temperature inversion in a long aquarium jar. They experience what happens when smog builds up and...

Young scholars use X-ray data to identify an object as a rotating neutron star, and determine its period of rotation. They use XTE observations of the Crab Pulsar to determine the period of the light intensity, interpret this period as...

Students discuss movement of air currents and then experiment to create visible models of air currents. Students connect the model to weather patterns.

Students participate in an experiment about the weight of water. They work together to discover that seawater is more dense than fresh water. They also determine which objects float and sink.
