In this recycling vocabulary activity, learners read 15 clues that include both a definition and word puzzle. Students must decide what recycling word the definition and puzzle describes and write the word on the line provided. 

Students experiment to see how various objects roll down ramps. In this ramp lesson, students observe weight, size, and material of objects.  Students compare speeds by using a second ramp.  

Young scholars experiment with force and motion. In this force and motion instructional activity, students test gravity using a variety of objects. Young scholars rotate through a series of stations which use force, motion, friction, and...

Students conduct a series of experiments on water electrolysis. In this chemistry lesson, students explain what happens to the molecules during the process. They cite real world applications of electrolysis.

Explore the world of solid shapes in this mini-lesson. Provides a definition, interactive examples, and interesting practice questions that help with understanding.

Lesson introducing the basic three-dimensional shapes (sphere, cylinder, cone, cube). Common items with those shapes are hidden on the playground for students to find and photograph. Pictures are then used to create a photostory....

In this lesson plan on solid shapes, students will learn to identify three-dimensional shapes by their attributes and learn to recognize them in the real world.

Introduces the concept of 3D shapes by learning the definition, types, properties, and three dimensions. Check-out the solved examples for better understanding and try your hand at solving a few interactive questions at the end of the page.
