Test your learners' sensory awareness with three hands-on activities that ask pupils to use their other senses to identify and describe everyday objects hidden from sight.  

How many ways can first graders make a 10? Using an addition chart, learners color in the 10s on the table. They notice and explain the meaning of the pattern, and how to get to another sum of 10.

Super scientists visit ten stations to predict, observe, and draw conclusions about the physical and chemical changes that occur when different states of matter—liquid, solid, and gas—are placed under a variety of conditions. To...

Here is a fascinating lesson about the life cycles of plants and animals, and other cycles found in nature. Learners explore the cycle of the moon, the tides, and other sequences of events in every day life. The big activity is the...

Third graders use addition to create numbers that are palindromes and organize their results to look for patterns. They make generalizations from patterns and practice reading large numbers and addition with regrouping.

By counting differences in amino acids, biology stars examine the relationships between different primates. With information gleaned, they map out a phylogenic tree and discover common ancestry. You will need to create printable versions...

Third graders solve In and Out function problems. They analyze a chart and discuss the steps to solving the functions, and discuss the patterns and complete the charts. Students then create a book of repeating patterns using magazines,...

Learners recognize, describe and extend patterns in three activities. They organize data, find patterns and describe the rule for the pattern as well as use the graphing calculator to graph the data to make and test predictions. In the...
