Are you looking for lab sheets to go with your class experiment on plant response to light? You are no longer in the dark! This is a lesson that was written for a unit on light, but could easily be used to demonstrate plant behaviors in...

In this word problems activity, learners read and problem solve nine  mathematical word problems involving grids, measurement, compensation and angles.

Students explore basic connections between graphs, tables, and symbolic representations for lines, parabolas, inverse models, and exponential models. One of the primary goals of this lesson is to help students begin to recognize patterns...

Learners determine the density of 1 drop of water. In this determining density lesson plan, students determine the mass and volume of a drop of water in the lab using appropriate lab techniques and calculate the density of a drop of water.

Second graders explore Australian folktales. In this folktales lesson, 2nd graders gain knowledge about Australia and it's animals by reading books and discussion. Students find the adjectives in the book and write what they describe....

For this editing activity, learners read and edit a short passage entitled, "Alaska, the 49th State." Students look for 10 errors in capitalization, punctuation, spelling and/or grammar.

Students observe air quality and monoxide data. In this air quality lesson, students draw conclusions and manipulate data from a one year period on changes in air quality.

Students explore human anatomy by graphing scientific data. In this vision lesson, students discuss how ophthalmology works and take their own eye assessment test using the Snellen chart. Students collect vision data from all of their...

Young scholars receive balloons representing the "Life Cycle of the Stars." As the attached script is read, students follow the directions for the color of balloon they are given. Young scholars chart the results for their star. They...

Students collect and interpret data to make predictions about the levels of ozone in the atmosphere. Using the internet to collect data students use their collected data to create a line graph for analysis. Students make mathematical...

Ninth graders construct a weather map. In this meteorology lesson plan, 9th graders construct a weather map using contour lines and temperature.

First graders observe how the first sentence of a story is read very slowly and can be read faster and with more expression. They then read the same book three times to become more familiar with the words in the book and then read it...

In this weather worksheet, students read a data table comparing the temperature and weather conditions at three different locations. Students use this data to complete 8 fill in the blank, 1 short answer question, and one graph.

It's all about the plot, main events, and story mapping with this lesson. As the class reads the novel James and the Giant Peach, they create an excitement graph that actually charts key events and moments of excitement. After...

Does temperature affect the air pressure of a football? Young mathematicians look at the readings from a pressure gauge and determine if the balls are within regulation or are under inflated.
