Students experience and visualize first hand the importance of proper hand washing through a hand washing experiment with different temperatures of water and with a different length of time to wash. They prevent food-borne illness and...

Young scholars solve problems using the metric system. In this algebra lesson, students convert between the metric system and the Imperial system. They use these two systems to solve real life problems.

Middle schoolers design a simple boat and predict how much weight it can carry. They should also discover why objects float or sink and how this can be determined experimentally. A great lesson on buoyancy!

Students in second grade are paired with fifth grade computer research buddies. They observe the characteristics of caterpillars, and identify the four stages of the caterpillar to butterfly life cycle. They graph the number of...

Student will track the growth of his/her bean sprout with sunlight and without sunlight over the course of 3 weeks. They will enter the results into an excel data base then graph the results of both variables to make the comparison.

Fifth graders use a needle and a magnet to create a compass.

Second graders, using two dice, participate in a car race game called Cars on the Curve. They predict which car wins the game and records it in their Data Diary.

Learners conduct scientific investigation in which they observe glacial effects on landscape, develop and explain their own theories of how glaciers change land, and demonstrate understanding and explain basic motion and force principles.

Students understand the stages of a plants life. In this stages of plant development lesson, students read about bean plants and grow their own. Students record growth and photograph changes in their plants. Students label the parts of a...

Students apply the Pythagorean Theorem to solve real-world problems. They draw diagrams based on written descriptions to calculate the examples.

Young scholars explore friction. For this friction lesson, students investigate that weight and surface type affect friction.

Fourth graders participate in a simple experiment that shows the ratio of elements that make up water.

Fifth graders, in groups, complete two activities in which various substances are combined, resulting in a very different substances. They discuss reactants and products and chemical reactions.

High schoolers view a video clip about special effects. They use geometry to determine how it changes one's perspective. They work together to construct their own room and comparing their room with other groups, noting the type of...

Third graders do dental flossing. In this dental care lesson plan, 3rd graders demonstrate proper dental flossing technique and describe the benefits of flossing.

Students investigate the movement of balls and use different materials to make balls. In this bouncing balls lesson, students explore the movement of balls, they investigate the inside of balls and they design and make their own balls...

Students experience a model that produces, separating, and displaying spectral colors.

Sixth graders, in groups, examine how humans have a tenuous position as part of an ecosystem.

Pupils explore the concept of multiplying polynomials. In this multiplying polynomials lesson, students watch a video clip about basic math skills. Pupils work in groups on an exploration about why a binomial squared equals a perfect...

Students constrct a watershed and write about their observations. Students use maps to locate their area in relation to the watershed and inquire about what is applied to the ground above.

Fifth graders identify, describe, and classify lines, line segments, rays, and angles. When given a diagram of a line, they classify the line as perpendicular, parallel, intersecting, vertical, horizontal, and/or diagonal.

Second graders construct a bar graph comparing local precipitation to that of the Yucatan. In this graphing lesson, 2nd graders will use conversions and problem solving strategies.

In this 4th grade geometry worksheet, students complete a set of 20 questions related to grade 4 geometry concepts. An answer key is included. 

In this problem solving strategy worksheet, students practice writing equations as they respond to 4 questions that enable them to solve 2 word problems.
