Students understand the basic properties of plate motion. They demonstrate what happens to a plate while faulting while using manipulatives. They demonstrate the Nature of Scientific Inquiry to solve scientific issues.

Learners explore clouds.  In this weather lesson, students identify the steps in the water cycle, define condensation and evaporation, and relate this information to cloud formation.  Learners perform a cloud experiment,...

Students view magazines and discuss photographs that impacted on them. In this digital photography lesson, students use digital pictures to photograph the letters of the alphabet. Students look at lighting, framing and composition and...

Students investigate technology and make a correlation between technology and the weather. In this science instructional activity, students experiment with the weather and climate using technology to help them understand forces and...

Students create model fossils.  In this fossils lesson, students view pictures of fossils and compare and contrast these fossils.  Students read about fossils and create a database chart with the facts they learn. ...

First graders indicate the silent beats (rests) with an outward motion of the arms. They indicate a measure clapped out with a quarter rest, and a measure clapped out without a quarter rest.

Students discover how the sense of sight helps us recognize each other and explore color, motion and distance.

In this worksheet on the life cycle of the butterfly, students look at 4 pictures representing the life cycle stages, and choose words from a word box that match each picture. Students then number the pictures in the correct order of...

In this seasons worksheet, students cut out the picture cards at the bottom of the page, sort the pictures and paste them with the matching season.

Students view a video on friction and examine how friction and gravity affect some sports.  In this investigative lesson students write a paragraph and draw a picture that illustrates how friction and gravity affect sports.

In this simple machines worksheet, students complete a chart. They look at a picture of a simple machine, draw/paste an example of each one for homework. They use a web quest to find 2 more facts about each one and write it in the chart....

In this elementary music and following directions worksheet, learners copy the Igor Stravinsky's last name on lines for each letter. They follow directions to draw a circle around a picture of a circus elephant, a square around the...

In a multidisciplinary lesson plan, you will focus your instruction around the West African folktale, Anansi Goes to Lunch by Bobby and Sherry Norfolk while your little learners sing songs, play games, participate in a grand...

Learn transformations through constructions! Pupils use perpendicular bisectors to understand the movement of a reflection and rotation. They discover that the perpendicular bisector(s) determine the line of reflection and the...

How do robots move? A presentation shows viewers the different types of configurations of that help robots move and lists the advantages and disadvantages of each of the configurations.

Build learning by breaking atoms! Young scientists study the way energy changes with a hands-on activity. As they roll steel marbles down a ramp, learners test the hypothesis that kinetic energy does not go away with friction...

Create a model to study a microscopic phenomenon. The seventh of 12 lessons uses an egg (without its shell) to represent a cell membrane. Using different solutions, learners explore the concept of cell diffusion. They monitor...

Don't kick the resource to the curb; you'll definitely regret it. Future engineers devise a kicking machine that launches a ping-pong ball toward a target. They can use a pendulum, a rubber band, or both, depending on whether they want...

Help language learners understand words and cultural concepts. The second installment in a series of three language development lessons designed to accompany Theme 4: Person to Person helps bridge the gap for language learners by...

Seventh graders construct a food chain based on pictures shown on the board. In this biology lesson, 7th graders describe the motion of particles as energy is changed. They explain how pH changes during neutralization.

Students review various pieces of artwork to determine the location and weather of the location portrayed. Using a Harris painting, they identify the sources of power and discuss solutions for using modern technology to solve any issues....

Young scholars identify the grapheme and phoneme for L. They practice writing the letter L and through listening activities, discriminate the phoneme /l/. They associate the phoneme /l/ with its letter representation and identify it in...

Students are introduced to potential and kinetic energy through the example of a ball being thrown straight up in the air. They are then told that the energy associated with the position of the object is referred to as potential energy....

Students arrange various pictures of the Earth to identify its journey through space. In this Earth's rotation instructional activity, students use models of the Earth and demonstrate its journey through space. Students complete the...
