Young scholars work together while they use various locomotor skills to practice beginning sounds of words and the letters of the alphabet. They walk, run, skip, gallop (or any locomotor skill that the teacher requires be used)...

Pupils construct various types of paper airplanes, exploring action and reaction forces by conducting a paper airplane rodeo. Students then discuss how Newton's Third Law of Motion affected their planes.

Students choose which building material to use to create their structure and which animal to house. After being read a story, they examine and identify the differnet types of homes mentioned. They take pictures of their structures...

Fourth graders, while working with a partner, label and identify on a tarp map six major cities and five major rivers in Indiana. They traverse along the rivers utilizing a different locomotor skill (hop, skip, walk, run, leap, gallop,...

Pupils investigate the concept of voltage and electricity. They differentiate between an insulator and a conductor in the context of using electrical safety with the help of a doll house. Then students pretend the doll lives in a real...

In this experiments worksheet, students determine the weight and mass of different objects. Students review variables in an experiment. This worksheet has 8 short answer questions and 11 problems to solve.

Pupils study scientific names and descriptions of forces.  In this motion lesson students organize information into a graphic organizer then teach it to other pupils. 

Learners explore simple machines and demonstrate thier acquired understanding by building a simple machine.

Students read sections from the Migration Issue Brief concerning why migration happens and the economic and cultural effects of migration. They study about the immigrant population in their own community.

Students infer that there are forces we cannot see that act upon objects, experiment with magnets to show a push and/or pull force, and participate in a magnet game.

Students explore the pros and cons of the emigration movement and research major groups and people involved in it. They view a multi-media narrative imbedded in this plan, then compose an essay stating their point of view.

High schoolers discover the differences between P- and S-waves using a slinky. They see that when displacement occurs along a fault, the built up strain of energy is released in the form of seismic waves.

Second graders examine how their choices affect the environment. They identify different types of pollution and its source. They ask questions to end the lesson.

Young scholars investigate gas laws and apply them in experimental conditions. Using an apparatus composed of a syringe and wooden blocks, they experimentally verify Boyle's and Charles' laws of gases.

Students view and discuss photographic images of the Dust Bowl by Dorothea Lange. They discuss who Dorothea Lange was and why she took the pictures, the conservational factors that contributed to the Dust Bowl and migrant workers and the...

Fourth graders participate in a simulation activity that culminates their study of the Underground Railroad. They climb on obstacles while bells rings and older students act as conductors. They work in a darkened area with only one light...

students will learn to respect the nature around them. This respect is vital because ignorance of surrounding nature can lead to carelessness when curiosity goes awry. A perfect example of this wayward curiosity took place at our school...

Students engage in a activity to investigate some of the properties of sound. They create sounds and listen to the vibrations that are made while listing all the sounds that are heard. This is done while the eyes are closed to strengthen...

Students construct time lines using historical facts about the development of agriculture. Students research specific dates and events and report their findings to the class. Students tape or glue the sections together sequentially in a...

Eighth graders use candy to show the effects of deformation forces on the earth's crust.  In this rock and fossil formation lesson students construct models and simulations to describe and explain natural phenomena.

Students examine how simple machine work can make work easier.  In this machines lesson plan students complete an activity that shows them what makes up a machine, and how to measure displacement and velocity. 

Students calculate the length of an arc that surrounds an angle at the center of a circle of radius.  In this kinetic equations activity students complete a lab and solve a kinematic equation.

Students identify the different types of friction. In this physics lesson, students explain how weight affects friction. They calculate normal force and coefficient of friction using a mathematical formula.

Students use a website to name and compare external body parts of humans and other animals.
