Students record weather observations and research online weather data. In this weather observations lesson, students study the cloud cover for several days and record their observations in a chart. Students identify the cloud types and...

Students explain the standard growth pattern of a monocot seedling and word process a finished essay.

Second graders work in groups to bury a variety of trash items and arrange them in a mini-landfill. They predict which items will biodegrade and then keep records of what the items look like every ten days. Students consider how...

Students study the process of decomposition using lunch leftovers and soil. They complete the inquiry over set periods time as they observe the how composting takes place and finally, they sort the materials into biodegradable,...

Students recognize different types of cloud patterns and associate these patterns with certain types of weather. They predict the weather for the next 6 to 24 hours. They then improve their observation skills as they check on the weather...

Students measure muzzle velocity, and predict range of a projectile device.  In this motion lesson students complete a lab and explain the outcomes of their experiments. 

Second graders experiment with ballons to see which objects will cling and which objects will not. They use an assortment of objects, paper clips, pennies, button, scraps of paper, or puffed cereal. They make predictions and record results.

Students observe a slide showing a shopping mall and the surrounding transportation network from an aerial perspective. They are asked to determine where stoplights would be located and predict future stoplight intersections.
