Students investigate space travel. In this space travel lesson students examine space exploration history, engineers and scientists involved in space exploration, and Newton's third law of motion. Students make rockets.

Students observe falling objects. They discover the rate of falling is based on air resistance and not the weight of the objects. They discuss how engineers use this type of information to design aerodynamic shapes.

High schoolers design a rocket that stays on air for the longest period of time. In this physics lesson, students research the function of different rocket components. They test their design and make necessary modifications.

Students explore their world using the book "This is the Way We Go to School." They predict information about the story based on the title and pictures. Students label a world map with the names of continents and oceans. They write a set...

Students investigate how seeds are dispersed on land.  In this plant biology lesson, students use a dissecting microscope to study strawberry seeds and dandelion seeds, they draw what they see, then create a hypothesis on the seeds...

Students are introduced to the four forces of flight--drag, lift, thrust, and weight--through a variety of fun-filled flight experiments. They "fly" for short periods and evaluate factors that might either increase or decrease their...

Students observe a demonstration presented by the teacher covering different types of energy. They participate in an experiment where they study numerous physics vocabulary words and visit websites that demonstrate examples of these...

Second graders experiment to understand how force is effected by friction.  In this forces in action activity, 2nd graders view a website to simulate what happens when the height of a ramp is changed. Students participate in an...

Students are given the opportunity to use the teamwork and leadership skills they learned in our cooperative learning unit in a real situation. They participate in relays, races, and rope challenges to showcase their ability to work with...

Students identify significant milestones in the history of flight. In this aviation history activity, students study various resource materials and construct timelines of significant achievements.

Students demonstrate an understanding of colors. In this visual arts lesson, students read the text Hot, Spicy Colors and name their favorite colors. Students complete a bar graph to show the data. Students discuss how each color can...

Learners apply the use of technology to real life scenarios. In this technology lesson plan, students discuss and identify a method to move sponge bob from one location to the next, without touching the floor. They share the same...

In this tree identification worksheet, students collect samples from different trees and identify them using the deciduous tree guide or the conifer key.

Students pretend that they are all ghosts. They must ride on their gluts on their scooter. They then pick 2-4 taggers, also known as ghostbusters. They also ride on their gluts but hold a "tagging wand". When students get tagged they...

In this gallery scavenger hunt worksheet students answer 18 questions about the displays in the Airborne & Special Operations Museum.

Students practice chasing and fleeing skills by playing the game Ghost in the Graveyard.

Students get an understanding of the main components of the digestive system and how the system takes the food we eat and converts it into energy.

Learners experience a positive science experiment and study fundamental concepts of measurement.

Students examine seed coats. In this biology lesson plan, students look at pictures of magnified seed coats, then use hand-help magnifiers or microscopes to look at seed coats on their own.

Students work together in groups to invent new and creative games. They also get the opportunity to teach others the games they created.

Learners create groups (teams) the way a teacher hopes they -- various different ideas are presented.

Students explore the life cycle of shrimp. In this life cycle lesson, students research the different stages of a shrimp's life cycle. Students examine threats to the species in each stage of life.

Students identify why trust is important to a community. They explain what is meant by a common resource. They compare and contrast how the community functions when rules are followed or not followed.
