Students use marbles to conduct experiments on movement of objects and explore Newton's three laws of motion. In this motion lesson plan, students use marbles, tubing, foam, paper cups, and more.

Create a scaled model of our solar system in your classroom! Scholars work collaboratively to build paper mache planets and hang them in their proper position to showcase each planet's location in the solar system.   

If a car gets heavier, it goes farther? By running an activity several times, teams experience Newton's Second Law of Motion. The teams vary the amount of weight they catapult off a wooden block car and record the distance the...

Third graders create addition and subtraction word problems for a partner to solve using marbles. They explain whether the problem is an addition, subtraction, "take away", "have and need", compare or "what is the rest" type problem.

Explore the connection of surface area to bonding within atoms. Learners complete lab investigations to model changing surface area with different sizes and concentrations of atoms. A flour fireball demonstration follows the labs to...

Um may be the atomic symbol for confusion, but it won't be needed in this lesson. Scholars rotate through seven stations completing experiments, hands-on activities, writing exercises, and analysis. Stations include material on...

Young scholars use fitness skills to solve basic math problems.

Students design and build a model downhill ski course that proves to be the fastest course at the Finish Line. They apply what they explore angles, slope, speed, and surface conditions to find the fastest course in the US.
