Students use the color wheel, matches, masking tape, and slides to view an alternate theory of color perception. In this color perception lesson plan, students discuss the different theories and processors.

Students distinguish and recognize the three primary colors used in color printing. In this color mixing lesson, students predict what color will be produced when pigments or color beams are mixed. Students will demonstrate an...

Students explore the Dollper effect by finding the frequency and velocity of sound.  In this velocity lesson, students determine the impulse during a collision by using their data and a software program.

Students experiment with heat. In this physical science instructional activity, students engage in hands-on activities to develop concepts related to heat. Students offer explanations for their observations using given vocabulary.

Young scholars study the metric system and examine other ways to measure.  In this measurement lesson students complete activities that help them to better understand the measuring system. 

Fourth graders perform probability experiments. In this math lesson, 4th graders complete a penny toss to evaluate and graph the combinations of outcomes. In a second activity, students draw M&Ms out of a bag and graph results. In a...

Fourth graders experiment with gravity and lift by building paper airplanes. For this physics lesson, 4th graders compare the falling rate of a crumpled vs. flat sheet of paper. Then after class discussion and demonstration of...

Learners learn how to measure the diameter and circumference of a circle. In this circle lesson, students organize their data to create a graph. Learners utilize their graph to make an inference about the slope of pi.

Pupils develop problem solving skills in science. In this creative thinking lesson, students manipulate puzzles and formulate solutions. Pupils share their process with peers to see if they can complete a given puzzle using the same...

Students explore how temperature and wind contribute to types of weather. In this weather lesson, students observe an experiment in which ice, steam, and an electric fan are manipulated to produce results that simulate how fog and snow...

Students use their senses in various situations to determine their accuracy. In this senses lesson, students use different senses to explore common objects. They find that their senses are not always accurate.

Students use protractors, strings, and straws to construct a device used to determine the height of tall objects. In this applied geometry lesson plan, students use common objects to construct a tangent height guide. They use principles...

Students choose appropriate units of measure and predict length using the metric system. In this measurement lesson, students participate in activities in which they predict, measure, and record linear measurements such as arm span vs....

Learners will observe an alternative method of temperature measurement. In this scientific measurement lesson, students observe and discuss alternative systems used to measure temperature.

In this biology trivia worksheet, students write short answers to 101 questions about animal classification, human anatomy, animal facts, and attributes of organisms.

Young scholars explore the concept of theoretical and experimental probability. In this theoretical and experimental probability lesson, students roll dice, draw marbles out of a bag, and draw a card from a deck of cards. Young scholars...

Sixth graders explore the concept of mean, median, mode, and range. In this mean, median, mode, and range lesson plan, 6th graders work in groups to find the mean, median, mode, and range of their heights, distance from home to school,...

Students explore the concept of probability. For this probability lesson, students draw golf balls of different colors out of a bag and determine the probability of drawing a particular colored ball. Students make a number wheel with a...

Students explore the concept of the golden ratio. For this golden ratio lesson, students measure objects to determine if their measurements fit the golden ratio. Students calculate the average measurements of the class.

Students explore the concept of origami. In this origami lesson, students construct picture frames out of paper. Students find the midpoint of the paper and determine the fractional area of the paper as it is folded.

Students play a game to discover simple patterns. In this geometric designs lesson, students use a game board and counters to represent survivals, deaths, and births. They explore simple patterns for several generations.

Learners explore the concept of graphing ordered pairs. In this graphing ordered pairs lesson, students work in teams to play a version of Connect 4. Learners use a Cartesian grid with values -4 to 4 as their Connect 4 board. Students...

Students explore the concept of geometric shapes. In this geometric shape lesson plan, students play bingo to review geometric shapes. Students identify the shape being described by the teacher and put a marker on their bingo card.
