Twelfth graders practice using the simple past and the present perfect. They use a timeline and practice using them. They fill out a worksheet and review it as a class.

Students observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport. This activity shows one way in which pollution is affected by the water cycle; it simulates a point source of pollution in a lake and the...

Young scholars shake a box containing Plaster of Paris "rocks", gravel, and sand, to measure the effects of erosion. They work individually during this exercise. This task assesses students' abilities to make simple observations,...

Students place a peat pot in water to observe and calculate the rate of capillarity in a model of a soil. This task assesses students' abilities to make simple observations, collect, record, and represent data, use a data table to...

Students review a subject and get points such as the points in football for correct and incorrect answers. In this football review lesson plan, students fill out a score board as they review.

In this verb worksheet, students read 6 sentences, look at the underlined words in each one and decide whether each underlined word is a gerund, infinitive or participle. Students use the word jump to write a simple sentence for one of...

Students predict the-outcome of an event. In this algebra lesson plan, students compare and contrast the probability of an event occurring. They calculate the odds of a simple event and make estimation.

Students draw pictures while following simple instructions. They discuss the importance of following directions explicitly. They discuss the differences between each child's work. They follow a second set of directions.

Students investigate modular clock arithmetic and cryptography. They perform basic operations in modular (clock) arithmetic and encode and decode messages using simple shift and affine ciphers.

Students construct equivalent sets, skip count by twos, threes, fours, etc., combine the sets, and finally, multiply simple numbers. Each student use candy to construct sets, write multiplication algorithms, and solve simple...

Students use cookies to construct sets, prepare greater than less than illustrations and solve simple greater than less than problems.

Second graders study Benjamin Franklin and participate in simple experiments in electricity.

Young scholars study basic meteorology concepts. They build a simple barometer to measure air pressure. They explore the concepts of relative humidity, air convection currents and temperature inversions and to discover their connection...

Students work together to perform simple experiments discovering the properties of air. They share their results with their classmates. They examine how engineers use the properties of air to clean the air of pollutants.

Fifth graders use Internet sites to complete a study of weather and atmosphere. They compare weather data from cities around the world. They use thermometers, the Beaufort wind scale, and simple weather symbols to measure weather around...

Students examine porosity and permeability and relate these concepts to groundwater flow. They use simple materials to conduct a porosity experiment and use the information to understand how environmental engineers decide on the...

Students explore how sound waves move through liquids, solids and gases in a series of simple sound energy experiments. They describe how sound needs molecules to move and that changing the medium that it travels through changes the...

Learners explore and perform locomotor movements. With partners, they combine the locomotor movements into a simple dance. The partner identifies three movements they observed. Students may be grouped into dancers for a performance.

Learners construct a simple galvanometer in order to detect the presence of an electric current as well as determine the amount of the current. Activity is divided into two parts, first part as group work and second as individual.

Students measure the rate of sinking of a test tube into a beaker of "glop", representing a model of the interaction between the Earth's crust and upper mantle. This task assesses students' abilities to make simple observations,...

Students determine which of several soil samples (sand, soil, and slit) produces puddles, providing insight into the permeability of these different soils. This task assesses students' abilities to make simple observations, collect,...

Eighth graders use a measuring stick to determine the shape of the inside of the bottom of a box, then apply their knowledge to an additional situation. This task assesses students' abilities to make simple observations, collect and...

Fifth graders divide into teams and select a simple science topic to explain and illustrate. They should pick a topic that they can illustrate with a very short (about 15-20 seconds) video clip, or QuickTime movie.

Young scholars participate in an activity to discover vocabulary necessary for website design. They observe a demonstration of website design using HTML code and then design two simple web pages with specific criteria. The final project...
