Fourth graders observe and explain how balloons rubbed on a shirt create positive and negative charges. In this positive and negative charge lesson plan, 4th graders record their results and explain their findings.

Students examine the concepts of balanced forces, unbalanced forces, and resulting net forces. They participate in a force and motion demonstration by pushing students in various directions, and calculating and identifying the resulting...

Students write a sketch of an artist or athlete that has pushed the limits on gravity. They explore concepts of rhythm, balance and friction. They examine how engineers design sports equipment.

Pupils examine the immigrants of various cultures throughout the world. In groups, they identify the push and pull factors of those immigrating and the risks and consequences they are subject do when going through the immigration...

Students examine the changes Britain has faced as a result of immigration. Using a map, they identify migration patterns in Britain and legislation that has passed to deal with issues. They use the Internet to gather information on how...

Students pretend that they are all ghosts. They must ride on their gluts on their scooter. They then pick 2-4 taggers, also known as ghostbusters. They also ride on their gluts but hold a "tagging wand". When students get tagged they...

In this arts and crafts learning exercise, students cut out an Aztec puppet. Students cut the two slits on either end of the stand and push one end onto the other in order for the puppet to stand up.

In this adding fractions worksheet, students problem solve eighteen fraction equations. Students, after mastering the first eighteen, can push a button for new problems and another eighteen will appear for the students to complete.

In this numbers activity, students complete 12 tasks related to even and odd numbers. Students complete 12 different tasks that push them to think critical about the number operations they are performing. THis activity would be a great...

Fourth graders investigate Newton's Second and Third Laws of Motion. They determine what makes objects harder or easier to push. While investigating they determine how applying force in order balance out gravity allows things to stay...

Students discuss Newton's 2nd and 3rd laws using the example of a football linebacker and a small child pushing against each other on an ice rink. Students are able to visualize the results of the push and link it to the laws. Discussion...

Third graders compare and contrast the forces of pushing and pulling. As a class, they take a field trip around the school and write down any action they see and any object that is motionless. In groups, they use magazines to cut out...

Students explain the concept of the "push-pull" effect. They distinguish between voluntary and involuntary immigrants and apply the concept of double consciousness to the immigrant's sense of national identity.

Students conduct individual research and participate in discussion be able to identify difference between forced and voluntary migration. They identify if push and pull factors are caused by political, social, economic, or environmental...

Third graders study how forces of push and pull can change speed or direction.

Students examine how migration affects different aspects of countries. They identify push and pull factors and participate in a service learning project to discover how local and global problems connect.

Students create their own ocean currents by using everyday items. They examine the constant pushing of molecules that makes us feel wind. They discuss how the water moves in the Southern Hemisphere.

Students witness the gas law from a demonstration in which a can collapses after the steam escapes. The steam pushes out most of the air from inside the can and then the air outside presses against the can crushing it.

Students watch as the teacher demonstrates: if a single liquid is placed in a U-shaped tube, the level of liquid on both sides are the same. When the mass is greater on one side than the other, liquid is pushed from one side to the...

Students examine how air takes space. They come up, push a deflated balloon into one of the bottles and stretch the open end of the balloon over the bottles mouth

Students read sections cited from the Governing Alaska unit. They discuss factors that made Alaskans push for statehood. They view video A Constitution for Alaska.

First graders experiment with different sized balls and an incline plane to study how a heavy object push a lighter object. They examine the safety message of this lesson by showing their drawings of the crossbuck sign.

Young scholars read Diane Glancy's "Pushing the Bear" about the Cherokee Removal and respond online to a discussion board. They discuss responses in class.
