Students explore the types of animals that live in trees and discuss the adaptations and characteristics that allow them to live in trees easily.

In this mammals worksheet, students compare and contrast the physical characteristics of bats and people by filling out a chart. Students complete 17 rows in the chart and answer 3 short answer questions.

Second graders gather information about the physical traits an animal has which help it survive in its environment. Using collected data, 2nd graders draw illustrations with adaptation features labeled.

The class will examine a series of live or stuffed animals in order to learn how different animals survive in distinctive habitats. As they examine each animal, they will be asked a series of critical thinking questions geared at getting...

The centerpiece of this lesson plan is a predator-prey simulation in which colored paperclips represent different species of animals camouflaged against a colored background. Relevant follow-up questions are provided. The activity is...

Students investigate the concept of puberty. They examine the social and emotional changes that take place. Individual students examine the kinds of changes they will go through. They are taught some coping strategies to deal with the...

The world is a very different place to those who are blind. That is why it is so important to have your kids with visual impairments explore the world in many different ways. For this activity, a bean bag is placed on the child's head,...

Learners who are blind or have visual impairments learn to take high steps in order to improve their balance and mobility. They start by marching in place, and then march around the room. Finally, they attempt to step over a towel as...

students in groups to work on bulletin board, making a list of animal adaptations. They write an example of each body covering and find pictures of animals with these coverings. They mount pictures and label the covering. They should be...

In this chemistry worksheet, students pick objects from the home and test the chemical and physical properties of what it is made of.

In this insect worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by researching the 10 different insect orders. Students draw a picture and then write examples and physical descriptions of each of the orders.

Students consider dog breeds that are helpful to humans and their hereditary link to wolves. In this biology lesson, student research a dog breed for traits that make it useful to humans.  Students write a report of how these traits...

Students write text, notes, outlines, comments, and observations that demonstrate comprehension and synthesis of content, processes, and experiences from a variety of media in this instructional activity created for a Physics classroom. ...

If you're stuck inside on a rainy day for PE, or just want to give your class a body break, try out this fun game involving quick mental math and movement. Waddling around the classroom as ducks, learners compete in math duels, trying to...

Stuck inside on a rainy day for PE? Try a fun game that will get your little learners moving around inside during wet weather. The game involves moving like various animals and peer interaction through games of rock-paper-scissors.

Students will examine the physics of flight through using experimental inquiry. In this lesson, you'll introduce your students to the four forces of flight--drag, lift, thrust, and weight--through a variety of fun-filled flight...

Students are introduced to the idea of soil as a habitat for many different organisms. They are introduced to the links between the biological adaptations of an organism and the physical demands of its habitat. Pupils are introduced to...

Students review key physics terms using a Visual Thesaurus. In this science lesson, student groups compete against each other to correctly identify "imposter" words from a list of related physics vocabulary terms.

Students conduct a webquest on an energy source they chose. In this physics lesson, students design an experiment to determine the factors affecting potential and kinetic energy. They calculate speed and create distance vs. time graphs.

High schoolers investigate the strength of different adhesives. In this physical science lesson, students compare the force needed to peel adhesive tapes from a surface. They analyze collected data and make a generalization.

Learners identify characteristics of verbal, physical, emotional and cyberbullying. In this bullying lesson, students gather information about bullying and work in discussion groups to find ways to report and combat bullying. 

Students investigate the physics of flight by experimenting in class.  In this history of flight lesson, students define terms such as gravity, lift, and drag in order to better understand how a plane is able to stay in the air....

Students explore human behavior by exploring mental and physical disabilities. In this learning disability activity, students identify the different disabilities students have which prevent them from working at the same pace as the rest...

Learners explain the relationship between magnetism and electricity. In this physics lesson plan, students describe the transformation of energy. They create an electromagnet and investigate the factors affecting its strength.
