Pupils examine the animals that live in trees. They identify their sounds, footprints and droppings. They draw pictures of the animals as well.

In this water and Earth instructional activity, students read a 2 page article on water and the Earth, name the clouds in 2 pictures and then list 4 sources of water in nature.

Student role play and draw the various stages an insect goes through to become a butterfly. They discover the different stages of how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. Students read The Very Hungry Caterpilla by Eric Carle.

Students make observations about mealworms using hand lenses, rulers, and cotton swabs. Students complete their own mealworm observation chart, then they share their observations with the class. This is one station out of five in an...

Young scholars hypothesize the role of rocks, soil, and water by observing a terrarium and create a model to explore the water cycle. This is part of a five station set up.

Students use examples of Joseph Raffael's art of nature to create an all-school mosaic of a tree in spring using clay.

Students are introduced to Scientific Inquiry and discover how to design an experiment that answers critical questions using butterflies as the topic. They design experiments that compare the number of species of butterflies in a vacant,...

Students note how given traits could be achieved by selective breeding and by transgenesis. They identify different uses of GEO. Students recognize that the use of letters (Bt) before an organism's name means that the organism has had a...

For this plant parts worksheet, students use provided links to compete questions about plant and their parts. Suggestions and links for additional resources are given.

Students adopt tress on their school campus for scientific observation purposes. In this tree science lesson, students adopt a tree at their school, observe the season changes for the tree, and create a PowerPoint presentation about the...

Young scholars examine whether their actions are positively or negatively affecting organisms and their habitats. They choose an animal to study then create a multimedia presentation including charts and graphs of data logger...

Students examine the story, "Charlotte's Web" in the nine lessons of this unit. As the students progress through the book, they will explore the story plot, setting, character, and the value of friendship.

Students use a website to name and compare external body parts of humans and other animals.

Students use a website to help them recognize that sound is generated in a variety of ways and from different sources. They determine that sounds vary in tone and loudness, and learn there are different ways to describe sound.

Young scholars participate in an online instructional activity to investigate the effects of cooling and heating on water.

Students identify how the pitch and the loudness of an instrument can be altered by examining the sounds made by three instruments.

Pupils participate in an online lesson to explain how to make bulbs brighter or dimmer in a series circuit by changing the number or type of components.

Students feel and observe different types of materials. Using the internet, they sort objects based on the materials they are made from and justify their reasons for putting it in a certain category. They identify objects that could...

Students explore how a switch can be used to break a circut. Students construct a simple series circuit and use it for a purpose. Students read the "The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch,or one of the "Katie Morag" stories which clearly shows...

Students predict the common classroom items, such as paper clips, chalk, keys, or erasers, that will be good conductors in a circuit. They build circuits using a variety of circuit diagrams to test their predictions.

Students participate in an online lesson to explain the conductivity of different materials and the effect of changing the power source.

Learners practice sorting living things into groups using their characteristics. Using pictures of leaves and animals, they sort them based on their color and shape and write the objects characteristics under the picture. They share...

Students place words describing a range from cold to hot on a scale. Using those words, they identify places on Earth which are cold, hot, freezing or boiling. They practice using and reading a thermometer with three different beakers...

Students identify how the pitch of an instrument can be altered. They complete a worksheet by labeling several images in order of pitch and then fill a bottle with water to create a sound that matches a pitch on a drawn card.
