Sixth graders study Newton's second law of motion and verify it.  In this force and motion lesson plan students complete a lab activity and collect data, analyze it and graph it. 

Fifth graders design their own hot air balloon. In this science lesson plan, 5th graders investigate how factors like weight and sizes affect a balloon's lifting power. They also write math problems based on facts written in...

Fifth graders are introduced to the atlatl system and how to test and control variables. In groups, they use the Internet to research how the system has changed over time. They test various variables and record their results in a graph...

Eighth graders biew each volume container and discuss where they have seen them in their home, and how they have seen them used. They explore the different names of volume sizes and their equivalents towards one another. Students...

Learners measure water and make predictions about efficiency.

Based on a set of criteria, students will evaluate the quality of pecans.1. Bring a gram scale and papershell pecans. Provide five pecans for each student. 2. Divide the class into groups of five and provide each member with five pecans....

Tenth graders study the metric system.  In this metric lesson students complete a lab activity and several metric worksheets. 

First graders complete a variety of experiments with solids, liquids and gases. They read books about matter, identify the characteristics of solids, liquids and gases and the sort and classify a variety of matter. Students make...

After a brief discussion on earthquakes, make a makeshift seismograph to record the shaking of the table that it sits upon. While the background information will be useful to you as a teacher, the seismograph does not seem like it would...

Fourth graders compare the difference between the mass of people, vehicles and trains in order to explain why it is important not to trespass on railroad tracks.

Fourth graders practice estimating temperatures. They practice in Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Fourth graders measure cups, quarts, and liters.

Fifth graders use the Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers to compare temperature readings. They use the Internet to find the temperatures of selected cities. After data is collected for five days, 5th graders graph the temperatures.

Students investigate coal samples and analyze its drying loss under controlled conditions. They establish the loss in mass of a sample when heated under controlled conditions of temperature.

Fourth graders are introduced to the problem by weighing objects on the balance scales. Use weights in both pans. (If you don't have access to scales use 2 containers and a child acting as the balance.) They then listen to the problem...

Students use X-ray data to identify an object as a rotating neutron star, and determine its period of rotation. They use XTE observations of the Crab Pulsar to determine the period of the light intensity, interpret this period as the...

Students build a bridge out of an index card that support the largest amount of mass. They create their bridge using an index card and books. Students place weight on the index card. They observe what happens as more weight is added to...

Third graders estimate the volume and mass of one marshmallow using appropriate standard units. They design and carry out an investigation to find the average of volume/mass of one marshmallow.

Students discussion frictional force, kinetic friction, and static friction and the role each plays in acceleration and velocity in relationship to a car and the road on which it is traveling. Students complete lesson answering review...

Students engage in a laboratory instructional activity in order to increase understanding of the impact of phosphates at the chemical and ecological levels. The lab exercise is completed with the goal of getting them to predict the...

In this math worksheet, students look for the words in the puzzle that are related to the theme of the word search. The vocabulary and spelling are emphasized.

In this English worksheet, students read "Models Under 16 Banned in London," and then respond to 1 essay, 47 fill in the blank, 7 short answer, 20 matching, and 8 true or false questions about the selection.

Students discuss how all objects fall at the same rate and vertical motion is independent of the horizontal motion. Students apply this information to center of mass activities before solving equations.

In this math worksheet, students find the words that are related to the concept of measurement and cover the related vocabulary.
