CO2 Blow Out!
Fifth graders determine that carbon dioxide is a gas given off during respiration and that oxygent is the gas that is absorbed during respiration. They determine the air capacity of the lungs.
Curated OER
Efficiency Means Getting More for Less
Students measure water and make predictions about efficiency.
Curated OER
How Hot Is It?
Fourth graders practice estimating temperatures. They practice in Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Curated OER
Relationships and Functions
Fifth graders describe patterns as relations and functions. In this patterning instructional activity, 5th graders analyze and continue patterns. Students understand how patterns relate to relations and functions.
Curated OER
A Real Difference
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.
Curated OER
Average Looking
Students use measurements of their classmates to find the average (means and modes) of their facial features. They use their findings to create a three-dimensional "class head." Examples and assessment materials are included.
