A Cosmic Cafeteria
Students indentify and differentiate between transit and surface food systems. Students measure energy that is released by various foods. Students compare and contrast cooking with solar energy on earth and what they might have learned...
Curated OER
Inclined Plane
Students using clay and a toothpick, shape the clay into a "mountain" upon which they make a road that is the shortest in distance. They measure the length of their road and then make a road that is the longest in distance without...
Curated OER
Just a Little Bit
Second graders read the book, "Just a Little Bit" and work in groups weighing the same object with a scale. They then get a different unit of measurement, like paper clips, cotton balls, washers, or pennies and then figure out and record...
Curated OER
Wind
Fourth graders are read a story and answer the comprehension questions about sound and wind. In groups, they make their own wind vane and how to determine the direction of the wind. To end the lesson, they make their own Anemometer to...
Curated OER
Do Human Practices Affect Water Quality?
Students determine if human practices have any noticeable effects on the quality of stream life as measured by the presence of certain macroinvertebrates. They collect, preserve and identify macroinvertibrate samples and quantify the data.
Curated OER
Chinese New Year: Paper Lanterns
First graders study the celebrations of Chinese New Year. They practice measuring and cutting to make paper lanterns.
Curated OER
How Fast Does This Tree Grow?
Students work together to determine how fast trees go. They make predictions and complete simple measurements. They answer questions to end the lesson plan.
Curated OER
Plant Journal
Students measure the daily growth of plants in this technology-based science activity that uses Timeliner to record student data. The activity allows students practice at basic computer skills (typing/data entry).
Curated OER
How Many? How Far? How Thick?
Fifth graders examine the role of magnetism and electricity. In groups, they are given different types of magnets and discover how the magnetic force differs for each one. They measure the amount of distance a paper clip moves toward...
Curated OER
C.D. Cover
Students use computers to create CD covers for their music groups. They search online for images they associate with their local reality, practice manipulating them in photo-editing program, measure size of compact disc case, and create...
Curated OER
Einstein's Big Idea
Learners investigate the meaning of c2 in E=mc2 by measuring the energy delivered by an object falling at different velocities. They state that kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. Students illustrate how kinetic energy...
Curated OER
Water & Ice
Students investigate the properties of water. In this states of water lesson, students explore how water goes from liquid to solid and back to liquid again. Students use measurement, observation, and communication to describe the change.
Curated OER
How Do We Breathe?
Students study the structure of the lungs. In this lung structure lesson, students use lung models to study the structure of lungs and experiment to measure the amount of air in the lungs.
Curated OER
Runaway Universe
Students complete a hands on activity to determine how scientists use indirect observations to define problems that are not directly measurable. They complete an associate student handout.
Curated OER
Paper Pool
Students analyze the measurements of rectangles. In this analysis lesson, students will investigate patterns by looking at ratios. Students will also hypothesize the probability of a ball going into a certain pocket when playing pool....
