Students use the Internet to research the author Leo Lionni, then rewrite and illustrate one of his stories.

Students describe the characteristics of a peanut and peanut butter using their five senses. They record their observations and descriptions on a graphic organizer. They may use the Internet to look up answers to questions about peanuts...

First graders read "Ten Black Dots" by Donald Crews and then create their own counting books focusing on the number 1 (one) and using yellow dots to represent the sun, moon and stars.

Students solve and graph functions. For this precalculus lesson, students use piecewise function to relate real life scenarios. They analyze the graphs and identify the vertex and intercepts.

First graders identify the number 10 by completing a page for a counting book. They add the page to the first nine pages.

First graders explore the day and night sky and complete a page for the number 9 for their counting book.

First graders explore the day and night sky. They complete a number 8 page for their counting books.

First graders listen to the story Three Bears from the book, Three Tales of Three, focusing on the one-to-one correspondence while counting various items in the story. They create pages for the number 3 for their counting books.

Students examine the concepts of balanced forces, unbalanced forces, and resulting net forces. They participate in a force and motion demonstration by pushing students in various directions, and calculating and identifying the resulting...

Students investigate net force by building Rube Goldberg contraptions. They build a contraption that has at least 6 steps or moves.

Learners order five weighted plastic eggs in order from lightest to heaviest.

Third graders use the appropriate units of measure when given a list of items to estimate and measure. They work in cooperative groups to locate, estimate, and measure given items using the correct unit of measurement.
