Students form the body shapes (wide, narrow, rounded, and twisted) while using a piece of equipment.

Pupils study folk tales. They write a class folk tale and then one of their own using a famous character or known celebrity as their main character. They put on a class play of one of the student's folk tales.

Second graders listen to a book closely and think about how they feel during the book. They then brainstorm and draw a picture of how they feel. Once complete, the pictures are shared and drawings are explained and discussed with the class.

Students skip around the gym floor and try to match pictures of muscles and stretches. When they find a match they must run to the Muscle Mat and call out "Muscle Match!". The class then stops skipping and faces the Muscle Mat while the...

Students create a masterpiece. In this drawing instructional activity students use a magazine picture to make a very tall person. The students cut the picture to stretch it out.

Students explore the relationship between the force applied to a spring and its stretch. They design and conduct an experiment to determine the stretch of spring with 15N of force without having an actual 15N mass.

Students practice the concepts of time and rhythm using drum beats. They also create body shapes using verbal cues. The shapes made include stretched, curled, angular, or twisted. The rhythm of beats is increased or decreased to explore...

Students run lap around the field. They complete dynamic stretching: high knees, high knee kicks, forward lunges, 45 degree, side lunges, and high knee crossover. Students review the scoring and rules of the game speedball. They are...

Students observe how substances are held together by bonds. In this physics lesson, students demonstrate how a substance is held together by ripping newspapers and stretching marshmallows. Students complete a data sheet.

For this writing equations of functions worksheet, students solve 4 short answer problems. Students write equations of transformed parabolas and absolute value equations given a stretch/shrink factor and vertical horizontal shift.

Students experiment with the velocity of a spring. For this velocity lesson, students conduct trials in order to determine the initial velocity of a spring. They stretch the spring different amounts and fire it both horizontally and...

In this springs worksheet, students use rubber bands, tape, clamps, and more to make springs and experiment with the weight it takes to stretch the spring. Students follow 7 directions and answer 1 question.

Students, in order to participate in the carnival, dress out and participate in a Fitness Activity for the day, e.g., 2 minute jog, warm-up by stretching, etc.

Students decorate a tree with ornaments which represent different locomotion skills such as crab walk, stretches, jump rope, and jumping jacks. Great for holiday week.

Students explore geometric vocabulary through creation of shapes on a geoboard. They present design attributes, transfer of design, and color-coding components mix to create a fun and exciting lesson plan that stretches student thinking.

Students explore how the Inca communicated across the bast stretches of their mountain realm.

Third graders have a blast trying to measure live, wiggly, stretching worms to the nearest inch. Groups record their data onto a class graph and then compare characteristics. They share their findings with the rest of the class. Fun lesson!

Students explore how different textures provide varying amounts of friction to objects moving across them. They build a tool to measure the amount of friction between a note card and various surfaces by measuring the distance that a...

Students study the letters s and h as they blend together to make one sound. They practice making the sound, reciting a tongue twister while stretching the sh sound, and writing the letters. Next, they make words using letter boxes...

Students investigate families of functions.  In this families of functions lesson, students discuss how changing a functions parameters affect its' graph.  Students vary slope and y-intercepts of linear functions. ...

In this science experiment worksheet, students mix borax, custard powder (pudding mix?), glue and water to make a bouncy ball. Students carry out bouncing and stretching investigations.

In this gas worksheet, students fill in a four quadrant chart with information from four demonstrations done in class with a bed of nails, suction cups, drinking straws and a stretched balloon. Students explain each experiment using...

Ninth graders explore physics with springs and strings. In this force and motion instructional activity, 9th graders rotate through four stations exploring how various springs stretch and bounce, and how mass and length affect a...

In this secondary mathematics worksheet, students solve a problem in which a rope is stretched tightly the length of a football field from goal post to goal post.  When one foot is added to the rope, students determine how high it...
