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...

Students measure to the nearest centimeter, and predict the frequency of an event. In this statistics lesson, students participate in a simulation of a parachute jump competition by making paper Whirlybirds, and then dropping them...

Students are giving one scooter to participate in the tag game. As a class, they create their own obstacle course in which they try to avoid the taggers in the haunted setting. To end the lesson, they discover why physical activity is...

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Third graders practice measuring skills by cutting paper strips of varying lengths. They place them on a parachute and shake it until all the paper strips fall off it. They collect the paper strips and measure them with rulers.

Third graders make parachutes to learn about gravity and the science process. In this gravity lesson, 3rd graders create parachutes and observe their flight in air. Students discuss wind and gravity for the activity.

Students explain how drag, weight, lift and thrust work together to make something fly. In this physics lesson, students measure their jump height and record data on the table. They reason out why they can't remain airborne for long.

Students design a name tag to post on a wall chart. Teacher uses the name tags to learn student names.

Fourth graders study an article about Saturn.  In this investigative lesson students discuss the article and complete an activity that asks them what question they would pose about Saturn. 

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.

In this lesson make a parachute that will carry a load of paper clips in this revised activity. Links provided for 2 other activities to demonstrate air resistance.
