Twelfth graders study Thoreau as "philosopher" and developing a personal philosophy of life (both metaphorically and literally). They come to an understanding of the interconnectedness of the natural world. Students come to a realization...

Seventh graders draw scientific illustrations in the lab. In this life science lesson, 7th graders discuss the importance of drawing in science experiments. They differentiate scientific drawing from basic art.

In this activity, students will make a gauge to measure rainfall and see how much rain falls over several days.

Students examine a Bahamian festival called Junkanoo. They analyze how group cooperation is related to the festival. They finally identify how factions form and how they can help or hurt a community.

First graders measure a plant using unifix cubes and record their measurements on a class chart.

Third graders focus on state birds as they learned absolute location (latitude/longitude) of each state, as well as their relative location (bordering states).

Students study elevation of the Sun above the horizon and the angle of the rays and their heating power.

Students, in groups, examine leaf slides in order to explore the detail in leaves.

Students investigate lenses and mirrors showing how they bend and reflect light waves.

Fourth graders research Albert M. Lea and the historical context of 1835.

Students explore how we are linked to the past and what that means. Inquires are made into the concept of history as the passage of time and changing seasons.

Sixth graders use the edible and nonedible parts of various fruits to determine percentages. Using measurements and appropriate tools are part of the lesson.

First graders investigate plant growth and examine what factors contribute to plant growth. They keep a class chart of plant growth and write about and illustrate their conclusions.

Pupils introduced to different views of the Earth. They play BINGO with boards that are made of images of Earth.

Students create a Visitor's Field Guide for the local area in order to enhance the understanding of natural features of the area for those who may be unfamiliar with the area.

Students build a soil erosion model to study the importance of soil conservation. They investigate how land forms from both constructive and destructive forces.

Students explore importance of a herbarium and start one of their own.

Students discuss what they have heard about pollution. They explore the purposes and limitations of political boundaries and borders and identify some of the causes and effects of pollution.
