Students examine different objects. In this appearance lesson, students watch a video about translucent, transparent and opaque objects. Students work in pairs to examine a bag of objects and then discuss the results.

Students explore the forest. In this ecosystems lesson, students rotate through sensory activity centers, brainstorm, and read about temperate forests.

Teams learn about the size of a nanometer by measuring objects and converting those measurements. A worksheet then tests the groups' abilities to use nanometers by having them determine the size of objects that are too small to...

Students use prior knowledge of angle and lines as they conduct an experiment with a rolling marble to determine the shape of a mystery object located under a metal pie tin.

Students examine the vocabulary and objects associated with objects in the sky and weather. They observe the sky outside of their classroom and create a list of things in the sky. Students then analyze a poster, read and discuss key...

Students explore how to read a thermometer and what the instrument does. They practice measuring hot and cold objects and discuss changes in the weather based on temperature.

Explore parametric equations in this instructional activity, and learn how to determine how much time it takes for an object to fall compared with an object being launched. high scoolers will use parametric equations to follow the path...

Students design and construct a listening device that will allow them to listen to the sound generated by specific object inside a box.

Students explore the differences between man-made and natural objects. In this lesson designed to compare properties of objects, students differentiate between natural and man-made objects and complete an activity designed to show what...

Get your kids thinking about climate change with a series of activities that include creating a ditty box poem for the planet, a poem that identifies concepts or objects they would want to preserve.

Very young scientists who are learning about solids, liquids, melting, and freezing will use this worksheet to identify things that would melt if put in a warm place. There are eight objects altogether, and learners place a check mark...

A 9-page packet comes with 24 cards that have pictures and informational text about each object in the universe. From nebulae to dwarf planets, objects we see—or don't see—are represented in the cards through pictures and words.

Students obtain information concerning rockets and the use of them in space. They create their own rocket on the computer with the graphic choices on the website www.goobo.com. They write descriptive phrases about their rocket.

Fifth graders write descriptive imagery and identify facts about various components of the universe. They listen to the book "The Magic School Bus, Lost in the Solar System," develop a list of descriptive words from the story, compose a...

Students determine how force on an object affects its movement. In this force and motion instructional activity, students take digital pictures of objects in the school setting that are pushed and pulled. They develop a presentation...

Students investigate shadows.  In this shadows and technology lesson, students listen to the book Ten Grouchy Groundhogs or Gretchen Groundhog, It's Your Day! and discuss how shadows are made.  Students match objects to their...

Students identify physical characteristics and group objects for a picnic using the states of matter for each object and using literature to introduce the states of matter.

Young scholars classify objects and organisms seen on the Wakulla Springs icam website as living or nonliving.

Students predict if the height of a ramp affect how far an object travels. They design and conduct an experiment to test their predictions. The results are recorded and a graph is created to show the relationship between ramp height and...

Students discover what types of objects reflect and absorb light. In this science inquiry activity, students use flashlights to determine whether different objects absorb or reflect light.

Eighth graders investigate objects for a specific element from the Periodic Table.  In this elemental photography instructional activity, 8th graders observe for and object and photograph it. Students use photographs to prepare a...

Young scholars develop two units of measurement to relate to the astronomical unit and the light year. In this astronomy lesson, students use a Twizzler to develop a measurement unit similar to the astronomical unit. They use a moving...

Students work in teams conducting an experiment that demonstrates why the height of an inclined plane affects the speed at which an object travels. They record data on a chart and calculate speed to reveal the results of three trials at...

Students photograph five objects from a bag and five objects from the outdoors. Students categorize things by living and non-living and by properties such as color, size, structure and needs. Students draw conclusions about the basic...
