Second graders engage in a lesson which focuses on adding two-digit numbers and the regrouping process. They identify when the regrouping process is necessary and make appropriate "trades" to complete an addition problem.

In this color worksheet, students read where light comes from and the different colors created through a prism. Students compare light (additive color) with pigments (subtractive color). Then students complete 1 drawing, 6 matching, 22...

Fourth graders develop a conceptual understanding of fractions and begin to add and subtract fractions with like denominators. Included is a worksheet to assess readiness and a teacher's checklist showing class understanding at a...

Students, after reviewing and analyzing Newton's third law of motion, make balloon rockets and experiment with a variety of models. After the experiment, they chart the results and form conclusions. In addition, they compare/contrast...

In this isomer worksheet, learners use molecular model kits to build isomers. Students work in groups and draw and name the isomers they build. They answer 9 questions about both geometric and structural isomers.

Students review basic weather concepts and terminology, and explore weather modeling tools.

Students investigate why cells divide. In this cell size lesson plan, students observe how far a solution travels into 3 different size model cells of agar. They answer questions about the most effect movement of "nutrients" into the...

Students explore the relationship between mass, volume and density. They use model boats to discover how changing mass and volume affect density. This is a very engaging lesson which provides great demonstrations and hands-on activities.

Students read all about dinosaurs. In this biology lesson plan, students  examine how to use library research as integral part of scientific research.

Second graders participate in a series of hands-on, online and multimedia activities that examine the concept of area. They view clips from the animated series Math Monsters and discuss the purpose of area and how it is used in the real...

Students create tri-fold biographical brochures. Each of the sections of the brochure refers to either the past, present or future of the student. They use the back of the brochure to list ways to be successful in high school and reach...

Eighth graders identify the Great Lakes, and describe the habitat of life of a loon. They are able to point to and explain one of the major river systems that enters the Great Lakes with a focus on the Clinton River and the food webs...

Students investigate the concept of half-life by conducting an M&M experiment. In this chemistry activity, students differentiate nuclear fusion and fission. They present investigation findings to class.

Third graders are asked how multiplication, division, addition and subtraction are related. After being read part of a book, they work together to build a model between addition and multiplication. To end the lesson, they write about...

Students explore the aquifer. They create a model of an aquifer and explain how a well works. Students explore the relationship between a well and the water table. They explore the various ways that groundwater becomes contaminated.

First graders examine cuneiform writing from a stone tablet, then write a simple sentence using pictographs. They analyze various examples of Egyptian art, construct a model of an Egyptian boat, and create a class painting using glyphs...

Pupils collect and analyze voltage data. In this math lesson plan, students investigate exponential functions using the TI and a Voltage Probe. They graph their data and analyze it using a table.

Second graders use data to graph information and draw conclusions. In this lesson plan on data analysis, 2nd graders practice gathering, sorting, comparing, and graphing data. Students differentiate data that can and cannot change over...

In this fractions worksheet, students answer multiple choice and short answer questions about fractions and how you add them. Students answer 10 questions total.
