Following a reading and thorough discussion of books—Anansi the Spider: A Tale from the Ashanti by Gerald McDermott and The Moon Book by Gail Gibbons—scholars complete three activities. First, they use playdough or cookie dough to create...

In the words of Yogi Berra, "If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else." Keep team members of your professional learning community (PLC) mindful of where they are going with a worksheet that designates steps...

Class members use an air quality monitor to measure the amount of gas-phase pollutants emitted by different sources. Groups choose three different sources and make predictions about what the monitors will detect. Teams then expose...

Messenger's sun shade measures 8 ft x 6 ft and will have temperatures reaching 700 degree Fahrenheit on the outside while maintaining a cool 70 degrees underneath. In the third activity of four, groups discuss the basic properties of...

Introduce your high school scholars as to how to use counterclaims in argument writing. Learners explore this skill with collaborative efforts and technology. Together they explore the pros and cons of homework and develop a thesis for...

For this wet dry ice worksheet, students read the information about dry ice and phase change. Students perform an experiment in which they observe phase changes of ice. Students answer analysis questions as it relates to the phase change...

Twelfth graders discuss sine curves and enter equations into their graphing calculator then compare different graphs created on their calculators. They identify the period, amplitude and phase shift given the graph or the equation of a...

In this precalculus worksheet, students predict the graph of given functions and draw conclusions about each one. Students define a transformation, and determine the amplitude, period, phase shift and vertical shift of given problems. ...

In this function worksheet, students solve 4 different types of equations related to functions. First, they determine a particular solution to the low pass and plot the input and output of the same axes and compare. Then, students...

Young scholars explore circular functions. They identify the amplitude, period, phase shift and vertical shift of circular functions. Students analyze phenomena described by sine waves and they find mathematical models for transforming...

Third graders investigate the phases of the moon. Using handheld computers, they describe the four phases of the waxing and waning moon, record their moon observations for a one month time period, create an illustration using Sketchy,...

In this moon instructional activity, high schoolers review the different phases of the moon and differences between a lunar and solar eclipse. This instructional activity has 13 fill in the blank and 5 true or false questions.

Learners explore the relationship between the earth, sun, and moon in our solar system. They create a moonrise/moonset chart, perform a dance that models the moon phases, and create a Styrofoam model of the moon's surface.

Students work in small groups to arrange moon phase cards into the correct sequence. The goal is to circle as many consecutive numbers as possible in two minutes.

Second graders complete a unit of lessons on the solar system. They complete various art projects inspired by Van Gogh's 'Starry Night,' create a moon phases book, create a moon phase wind chime, develop a timeline of space exploration,...

In this Earth and moon worksheet, students will review the different phases of the moon, how eclipses are created, and how the moon influences tidal patterns. This worksheet has 13 fill in the blank, 8 true or false, and 2 short answer...

Pupils find the phase of the moon on the date of their birth.  In this science lesson plan, students chart the moon from the date of their birth till they were one month old.  Pupils fill out a graphic organizer after visiting...

Students review the process of scientific inquiry. Using this information, they identify the patterns and cycles of the moon as it revolves around the Earth. In groups, they model the phases of the moon from the Earth and Sun's...

In this cell reproduction worksheet, high schoolers review the parts of the cell involved in cell reproduction plus the different phases of cell division. This worksheet has 5 terms placed in a crossword puzzle and 3 fill in the blank...

Third graders observe the properties of water and in its different states. In this states of matter lesson, 3rd graders view a video, read The Magic School Bus at the Waterworks and experiment with freezing, melting and boiling...

Students compare the freezing temperature of two substances by conducting an experiment to freeze liquid ice cream. They vary the amount of salt used in the ice cubes during the freezing procedure to determine the change in the...

In this basics of science worksheet, students review the metric system, the difference between homogenous and heterogenous mixtures, the scientific method, and science lab first aid. This worksheet has 15 short answer, 43 fill in the...

Introduce middle school science learners to condensation with this presentation. It begins with a brief explanation of the process and humidity, but does not present all of the details. Three demonstrations need to be set up ahead of...

This simple, 27-slide presentation is meant to be used as sight-word reading practice. Learners see the word on the slide and read it.
