In this differences worksheet, students complete fill in the blanks and multiple choice questions about the differences in snowman pictures, and name the objects of pictures. Students complete 3 activities.

For this standard weights worksheet, students analyze 9 common objects and choose the most appropriate unit to weigh them-ounces or pounds.

Second graders study force and what it does.  In this motion lesson students complete a demonstration on force and gravity and share their ideas. 

Discover the difference between standard and non-standard units of measure with your class. They differentiate between rectangles and squares, read a book, measure a peer's height. They then discuss  measurement methods, make...

Learners analyze rocks. In this geology lesson, students collect rocks from the schoolyard and sort them according to various characteristics, such as color, size, and weight.

Young scholars collect and sort rocks based on visible characteristics.  In this statistics lesson, students determine adequate sample size and categorize rocks based on characteristics.  The book Everybody Needs a Rock is read...

Third graders jump with and without weights to reveal data that gravity has more of a pulling force with heavy objects that are on the ground than light objects on the ground. They also identify how their legs felt when they jumped with...

Students experiment with objects of different densities. In this density activity, students examine same-sized objects with different weights, then look at a teacher explanation of density. Students make wave bottles and a density jar...

Fourth graders discuss Newton's Second Law of Motion, and the acceleration of fast and slow moving objects. They experiment with items with different masses to determine the effect mass has on acceleration using a toy car. They complete...

In this lenses activity, students will explain how microscopes work by completing 4 short answer questions. Students will compare refracting telescopes with reflecting telescopes by writing the terms given under the correct column. Then...

Students find the mass, volume, and density of various objects. In this density measurement lesson, students observe how same-sized objects can have different masses, then use water displacement to find the density of each object and...

In this mineral identification worksheet, students read nine vocabulary words and answer 5 short answer and fill-in-the-blank questions regarding minerals. There are four additional pages of related activities. 

Students identify five senses, and use their senses of touch, sight, hearing, smell, and taste to distinguish different objects, sounds, smells and tastes, and write their answers in the booklet.

Students share hypotheses about the variables needed to produce a collision between two moving objects. They simulate the impact of a moving object on an object that creates a spray of debris, and simulate a NASA Deep Impact study.

In this World War II worksheet, 10th graders read about life in a Japanese internment camp.  Students give personal response and opinions in 5 short answer questions.

In this earthquake intensity worksheet, students will use the Modified Mercalli Scale and descriptions to complete 4 short answer questions.

Students explore Earth science by identifying types of rocks in their schoolyard. In this geology instructional activity, students collect a group of rocks from their playground and categorize them based on color, shape and size....

Students use streaming videos, web sites, and hands on activities students to explore matter. They focus on how temperature affects matter and what the particles look like in the states of matter.

Students observe the growing stages of plants. In this plant growth lesson, students collect, germinate, and plant seeds to chart the growth process of plants.

Students design and conduct an experiment on Galileo's Rule of Falling Bodies. In this physics lesson, students collect and analyze data. They create a presentation and share it with the class.

Students use tables showing the ratios between ounces and pounds, grams and kilograms, and pounds and kilograms. They estimate whether an object should be weighed in ounces or pounds and whether an object should be weighed in grams or...

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 sort, classify, and write about how they sort a variety of shells.

Learners demonstrate knowledge of sorting and classifying by color as they sort gummy bear candies.
