Young scholars identify local trees and plants by their leaf shapes and structures, foliage patterns, and colors. They recognize different leaf vien structures, and make labeled prints to show each of them. Students study their leaves...

Students research the similarities and differences between stabiles and mobiles, and the physics principles embodied in each construction. They investigate different types of fish and their habitats, paying special attention to their...

Firts graders distinguish between sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. They group the rocks into the appropriate group. This is one of the best-organized plans I've seen! Learners watch a PowerPoint presentation which is embedded...

Students explore how to use trigonometry in the aviation field.  In this aviation lesson students complete trigonometry equations that show what planes should do to land their airplanes.

Students examine the artwork of Gustav Klimt and other artists that created in the Art Nouveau style. They measure out a large kite shape on a sheet of acetate and use Crayola Window Markers to create Art Nouveau patterns on their kite.

Learners construct an interferometer using a simple telescope. In this physics lesson, students explain how light waves create the fringe patterns. They observe patterns made by different objects in the sky and compare them.

Fourth graders study the uniquely diverse structural design of leaves and demonstrate knowledge of interdependence between structure and environment through research, laboratory activity and written summary.

Fifth graders research plant and animals cells and create a Venn Diagram to show the similarities and differences.

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

Students learn about animal camouflage.  In this animal adaptations lesson, students discuss the patterns and adaptations animals use to help them survive, discuss the uses of camouflage, visit a local wetland if possible, and...

Students explore the concept of minerals. In this minerals lesson, students discuss how cooling affects the size of crystals. Students discuss how the structure of minerals is a tetrahedron. Students discuss the structure of silicates...

Students participate in various hands-on activities to determine what life is like without the sense of sight.
