Students examine force and conduct activities that model parachutes and helicopters.  In this airplanes instructional activity students identify the forces that make airplanes fly higher and land. 

Learners participate in a simulation of a parachute-jump competition by making paper parachutes and then dropping them towards a target on the floor. They measure the distance from the point where the paper parachute lands compared to...

The classic "Egg Drop Activity" is described in this fine science lesson plan. Young scientists work together to design a container that will protect the eggs inside of it when dropped from a high place. Lots of good scientific...

Students throw in their letter or vegetable when the said object or letter is said by the teacher. They also explore how to make a parachute ripple and make waves.

Here's a new twist in the egg drop competition. Using only six inches of tape, four straws, and 2 pieces of newspaper, teams build a structure that keeps an egg from breaking when dropped. What's different about this project is that the...

Students use different parachute activities to study weather and land patterns and formations. Tornados and hurricanes can be discussed as students make large waves (move from very high to very low) that mimmick these two weather...

Challenge small groups to build a structure that catches a raw egg without breaking—working collaboratively and applying mathematical and engineering principles. Pretending the frame was made by a business, scholars create a marketing...

Students explore the concepts of friendship. For this character education lesson, students read the book Priceless Gifts and discuss friendship. Students illustrate a picture of them doing something nice for a friend and connect the...

Third graders practice measuring skills by cutting paper strips of varying lengths. They place them on a parachute and shake it until all the paper strips fall off it. They collect the paper strips and measure them with rulers.

Students partake in a fun and active Halloween activity.

Fourth graders participate in a parachute math game. They run under the parachute after it has been lifted, looking for a card that has an equivalent fraction or decimal on it to match the one they were given by the teacher.

Students investigate space travel. In this space travel lesson students examine space exploration history, engineers and scientists involved in space exploration, and Newton's third law of motion. Students make rockets.

Fifth graders study the effects of mass on gravity. In this gravity lesson, 5th graders make model parachutes and helicopters in order to apply the scientific process and find out the effects of mass on drops of the 2 objects.

Students measure to the nearest centimeter, and predict the frequency of an event. In this statistics lesson plan, students participate in a simulation of a parachute jump competition by making paper Whirlybirds, and then dropping them...

In this idioms activity, students complete multiple choice questions about idiom phrases having to do with parts of the body. Students complete 10 questions total.

In this math worksheet, students learn to use problem solving strategies such as making a list, guess and check, working backwards and drawing a diagram. Students read and solve 6 sentences.

In this hats learning exercise, students look at pictures of hats and choose which name fits the hat best. Students complete 20 multiple choice questions.

In this verbs worksheet, students read ten sentences and analyze the two choices of verbs in parentheses. Students cross out the incorrect verb.

So many things change as time goes by. Here, scholars create graphs based on this premise. Each problem asks pupils to sketch a graph that describes a given situation. Their graphs represent various characteristics such as height,...

Young scholars discover the importance of matching verbs to their subjects through a discussion of a whimsical video on verb agreement and a read aloud of the book, "To Root, To Toot To Parachute". They practice verb agreement in...

Students construct a pathfinder that could land an egg safely. In this physics lesson plan, students explain the factors affecting the dynamics of falling objects. They evaluate their pathfinder design.

Students review the concept of the food pyramid that has been taught by the classroom teacher. They have a classroom discussion of the food pyramid; understanding the importance of a healthy diet. Students create an original food pyramid.

Students read books, learn about the letter c, and eat roasted peanuts all to learn about the circus. In this circus lesson plan, students also use design their own tickets and have parachute play.

Pupils read books and make art projects dealing with spiders. In this spiders lesson plan, students learn about the different characteristics of spiders through listening, answering questions, and making spiders.
