Fourth graders use circles to "home in" on particular spots, showing the ability of scientists to locate unseen objects in space. This activity shows how scientists know certain objects exist in space due to the forces exerted by...

Eighth graders explore Newton's Law of Motion that states that an object at rest stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force and that an object in motion stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.

Students explore photography. They compare/contrast the work of two photographers, create a paper viewfinder and experiment with focusing on topics, take photographs, and display photograph essays about the school.

Second graders classify objects and formulate hypotheses regarding various materials and their magnetic properties. They complete a worksheet and watch a video.

Geometry adventurers study circumference of a circle as they listen to Sir Circumference and the Dragon Pi, by Cindy Neuschwander. In groups, they use string to measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects and...

Fifth graders explore the concept of area using the geometry of selected objects. The laboratory for this experience is the classroom. The lesson focuses upon the objects that have four sides like squares and rectangles.

Pupils perform the following activity as a group so that they can gain experience with how ramps work. Students will first construct a simple ramp and then time how fast different objects roll down that ramp.

Pupils examine the sound of the letter S and write the upper case S. As a class, they repeat a tongue twister with the letter S, then observe and demonstrate how to write the letter S. Students then view a variety of objects and...

Fifth graders practice the skills of finding the perimeter and area of different objects. They integrate technology tools by using a computer software program during the class as the second half of an assessment of measuring student...

Students discuss the appropriateness of using a specific tool to measure and define an object. After measuring the area of their classroom and the objects in it with the appropriate tools, they create a floor plan that makes the most...

Students develop an understanding of the ways in which different people can use, relate to, and understand an object. Students look at each artifact collected in this lesson plan. For each artifact, the students describe how members of a po

First graders collect classroom data (such as mode of transportation used to get to school) and prepare a pictograph to interpret the information.

Pupils explore friction and use objects such as coins and marbles to study the concept.

Ninth graders predict when an object will sink or float based on comparison of the density of the object to the density of the substance in which it is placed.

Learners discuss the conception of beauty by considering and contrasting the appearance and use of Chinese and Japanese ceramics in this lesson for the middle or high school classroom.

Young scholars create "media Collages" out of labels from boxes, bottles, and cans, and other found objects in this Art lesson for all ages. Adaptations are included for younger and older students. Lesson also includes a writing option...
