Get your class out in the environment for hands on math activities. In this wetlands lesson, learners transplant native plants, calculate how much soil is needed, and perform math activities based on this experience. They then make...

Students measure distances using parallax. In this math lesson, students explain how this method helped astronomers with their studies of the solar system. They determine the length of their arm using parallax and compare it with other...

First graders, in groups, discover which colors absorb heat and which colors best reflect heat. They do this using the scientific method.

Take young geologists on an exploration of the rock cycle with this six-lesson earth science unit on rocks and minerals. Through a series of discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on investigations your class will learn...

Young scholars use principles of geometry to measure the circumference of the Earth. In this applied geometry lesson, students use mathematics to determine scientific information. They make measurements, calculate the central angle,...

Students examine energy, where it comes from and the different fuels that are used.  In this energy lesson plan students design an energy infrastructure using a renewable energy source. 

Students investigate vegetables. In this multi-subject lesson plan, students learn about vegetables and participate in several activities using vegetables. A list of 7 materials is included.

Students study entrepreneurship in space. In this space science lesson, students discuss an article provided and explain why their senses are important to finding opportunities. Students list three possible opportunities in the...

Fifth graders define vocabulary terms, identify the characteristics of a pillbug, and create a dichotomous key. Then they examine the pillbugs and make observations and record these observations. Finally, 5th graders observe specific...

Students design and build a model solar energy home. For this technology lesson, students test the efficiency of their model houses by measuring temperature at regular intervals. They analyze data and share results with the class.

Students explore the four seasons. For this seasons lesson, students create a class tree. Students make leaves for the tree for each of the seasons. Students mark their paper into fourths and draw a picture of the seasons.

Students use critical thinking skills to solve word problems using ratios that allow them to compare humans to ocean animals.

Students study the basic methods for finding one's position on Earth. Latitude can be deduced from the height above the horizon of the pole star or of the noontime Sun, while longitude requires an accurate clock giving universal time.

In this layer of the earth worksheet, students label and color each layer of the earth. Then students are asked to describe each layer below.

For this worksheet on the life cycle of the butterfly, learners look at 4 pictures representing the life cycle stages, and choose words from a word box that match each picture. Students then number the pictures in the correct order of...

Young scholars calculate feeding rates of whales and compare this to the feeding rates of humans.

Learners examine dinosaur footprints and compare them to the shape of elephant footprints and to the size of their own footprints.

Students find areas on playground where they would live if they were a grizzly bear, share their reasons for their choice, talk about habitat areas, and choose their sites again, based upon new information.

Pupils investigate molecular movement while studying how to perform a chemistry investigation.
