Young scholars examine the four forces of flight. In this flight instructional activity, students test to see which types of items will fly. Young scholars make predictions on whether the item will fly or not. Students gain knowledge...

Students explore what is beneath the surface of the earth is one of the jobs of a geologist. Rather than digging up vast tracts of land to expose an oil field, or to find coalbearing strata, core samples can be taken.

Fifth graders investigate simple circuits and identify when a circuit is considered opened or closed. In small groups, they experiment with wires, batteries, and light bulbs to identify how to light the bulb. Students also experiment...

Students identify and name at least six different kinds of transportion, sort and classify different kinds of transport according to similar and/or different characteristics and identify the purpose of different types of transportion.

Students conduct an experiment about air volume, density, and pressure. For this air lesson, students discuss air, and how it moves. They make predictions about what will happen during the balloon and string experiment. They document the...

Students investigate the properties of air through inflated objects. In this physical science instructional activity, students examine gas as a state of matter. Student push on inflated objects and note the space the gas has taken up...

Fourth graders, when working with magnets, make a prediction about what will happen if you put two ring magnets on an upright pencil, with 100% accuracy. They also experiment with magnets on poles to see which one pushes the other one away.

Students test different objects such as dominoes, marshmallows, slides, and more to test their force, motion, gravity, friction, and the concept of matter. In this force and motion lesson plan, students understand that the force an...

May the mass times acceleration be with you. The presentation covers forces, Newton's three Laws of Motion, momentum, and vectors.

Using paper and a pencil, produce a pop-up puppet of a groundhog that peers out and over it's burrow to tell us when Spring is coming. 

Everyday life can be overwhelming for a student with autism spectrum disorder. An informative presentation guides teachers through definitions of common attributes associated with autism, as well as ways to meet sensory needs to...

Have your learners mastered making inferences? Have pupils work their inferring muscles by completing this worksheet, which includes four passages to read and analyze. Learners answer two to three questions about each passage, providing...

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.

In this physics instructional activity, students complete each of the statements with the correct word or phrase. Then they match each of the words listed on the left with their correct descriptions on the right.

Learners investigate forces. For this laws of motion lesson, students visit the Glasgow Science Center or Techniquest to participate in activities related to the Newton's law of motion.

Students are introduced to the power of magnets. In groups, they look at different objects and make predictions on whether they believe they are magnetic or not. They test their predictions and share their results with the class.

Students listen to the song, The Wheels on the Bus. They attempt to sing the song again, but change it for a tractor. They watch the book, A Visit With Grandma, through a projector, LCD panel, or big screen television and develop their...

Students identify geographical features that hindered or promoted settlement in the city of Flagstaff, Arizona. In this settlement lesson plan, students write a summary of what they learned and identify geographical features on a map.

Learners observe an on-line activity to review the basics of electrical circuitry, then research answers to related questions on-line.In this lesson on changing components in a series circuit, students discover how different components...

Students investigate the behavior of pendulums and identify the variables that affect it.  In this pendulum lesson students complete a lab on pendulums, make conclusions about frequency and the period then conduct a controlled...

Students discuss modes of transportation of pioneers, listen to one of the handcart stories, build model handcart out of paper, and sing 'The Handcart Song.'

Students understand that an aquifer can become a non-renewable resource if it is not used wisely. Students do an experiment that recreates an aquifer in the classroom.

Students conduct investigations to demonstrate and learn that air takes up space, and puts pressure, or pushes, on everything around it. They conduct experiments to learn about feeling air pressure and measuring air pressure. Prior to...

Learners run through an obstacle course to practice jumping, vaulting, pull-ups, and other physical endeavors. The obstacles are set up in a gymnasium, and students rotate through each task.
