The Journey of a Red Blood Cell
Fifth graders examine how a red blood cell travels throughout the body. Using a model, they recreate the flow of blood through the heart. They also label the lungs and the differece between the blood that enters the heart and the blood...
Curated OER
Historic Earth Science Innovations
Pupils research the demands or limitations on Earth scientists. In groups, they design and build a model that would be useful to them in the lab or field. They share their model and their ideas behind it to the class and answer any...
Curated OER
Create a microbe
Students explore viruses and bacteria. They construct three dimensional models of microorganisms recognizing size relationships by comparing the size of viruses with the sizes of bacterial cells.
Curated OER
Rosie's Walk
Students use maps and globes to locate and describe locations, directions and scale. Using the maps, they identify man made or natural features of different environments. They practice using geographical terms to describe a specific...
Curated OER
Wigwam
Students create models of wigwams. They discuss winter and summer villages and the types of wigwams. They construct a wigwam using information from the Native American website to follow the scale. They present their models to the class...
Curated OER
Measuring and Comparing Weight and Capacity
First graders measure weight and capacity. In this measurement lesson plan, 1st graders explore visual examples of weight and capacity comparisons. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.
Curated OER
High and Low Tides
Young scholars collect real world data from the Web regarding high and low tides at various locations in the United States. They find a function which models this data and make predictions on tide levels based on the information found.
Curated OER
Planetary Mobile
Learners receive pre-cut templates of cardboard with appropriate diameters of each planet and the sun. They use multi-colored construction paper, scissors, yarn, and other art supplies to create their own models of planets. When students...
Curated OER
Conjectures and Conclusions
Students draw conclusions and make conjectures given a specific scenario. For this geometry lesson, students model real life scenarios using properties of triangles. They model number facts and explain why the outcome is what it is.
Curated OER
Shape Matters More!
Students investigate shapes as the area changes while the perimeter remains the same. Students demonstrate the shape/perimeter/area relationship using simulations and physical models.
Curated OER
The Fault Line
Pupils use cardboard models of the North American and Pacific plates and sand to investigate what happens when there is an earthquake or movement along the boundaries of the plates.
Curated OER
Outlandish Landforms
Seventh graders examine landforms. In this world Geography lesson plan, 7th graders research and create a physical model of a chosen landform. They then draw a 2-d paper map of that model.
Curated OER
Walk a Mile in your Orbit
Students create an awareness of the distance between the planets and the complexity of the solar system through a model of an active solar system. they incorporate physical education and math with the ability to convert distances of each...
Curated OER
Gilligan's Island
Learners investigate topographical maps and match actual landforms to them. In this topographical maps lesson students create "Gilligan's Island" to scale then answer questions about it such as what the highest elevations is and...
Curated OER
Sanctuary: Quail Island Banks
Pupils explore visual arts by examining a diorama in class. For this geography lesson, students examine an island off the coast of New Zealand and identify the physical attributes of the land. Pupils answer study questions regarding...
Curated OER
Toilet Paper Solar System
Students create a model of the distances of the planets in the solar system using sheets of toilet paper and markers. Generally accepted orbital parameters are applied.
