Students explore the Jazz Era in America not only by answering questions but listening to music as well.

Students conduct experiments to determine if length, mass, or starting angle has any effect on the rate of a pendulum's swing. They also conduct an experiment online to determine if gravitational force plays a role in the swing. Groups...

Students research how citizens from the United States respond to the onset, duration and aftermath of World War II. They view clips from the movie "Swing Shift" and discuss the roles of civilians, minorities and military personnel. They...

Learners estimate angle measures in this this estimating angle measures lesson. They use an application on their graphing calculator that shows various settings involving angles and then they estimate the angle measure of a clock's...

Young scholars explore how pendulums work and why they are useful in everyday applications. In a hands-on activity, they experiment with string length, pendulum weight and angle of release.

Students research the destructive force of the wind. In this science instructional activity, students design and build a wind resistant structure. They explain why they chose a particular design and present their structure in class.

Fourth graders conduct a lab activity that measures the factors that change the swing rate of a pendulum. They create a hypothesis and test it during the experiment. They record their observations using the recording sheets and journal...

Students investigate the motion of a swinging pendulum. They experiment with a pendulum to find out why it might swing at different speeds at different times.

Fourth graders jump rope for five jumps in a row while swinging the rope forward and jumping on both feet, swinging the rope forward and jumping on one foot, to build locomotor skills with a manipulative. They also listen for the...

Students explore magnetism. In this magnet instructional activity, students assemble a magnet pendulum. Students observe the pendulum noting the location of the magnetic poles as they construct the pendulum so that the free-swinging...

Second graders discover the rhythm in music. Students walk around in a circle, swinging a ribbon to the beat of music. While keeping a steady beat, 2nd graders respond to suggested alterations to their rhythm.

Ninth graders explore physics with springs and strings. In this force and motion lesson, 9th graders rotate through four stations exploring how various springs stretch and bounce, and how mass and length affect a pendulum's swing. They...

Students investigate the difference between potential and kinetic energy. They examine the formulae associated with both types of energy. They complete how quickly a pendulum with swing by converting potential energy into kinetic energy.

Students construct a pendulums and experiment with what variables change or effect the rate at which they swing through an arc. They are assessed on scientific inquiry including the following skills: observation, data collection,...

Students observe and demonstrate a variety of dances from the 1950's. In class they practice The Swing, Bunny Hop, Stroll, and The Twist, then participate in a Fifties Dance Day party. Students dress up for the dance and participate in...

Learners discuss what they like about parks and make a list of different things they like to do there such as swing, run, play ball, ride a bike, or go on a hike. They discover the locations of some examples of National Parks and that...

In this World War II instructional activity, students examine a propaganda poster featuring women and the war effort and then respond to 4 short answer questions based on their analysis of the poster.

Susan VanHecke's Under the Freedom Tree is transformed into a 12-part readers theatre script appropriate for a performance by upper-elementary classes.

Here comes the sound. After watching a couple videos demonstrating and explaining the Doppler Effect, learners develop their own understanding of the phenomenon. Scholars draw a sound wave and observe how the perception of the wave...

Students illustrate paramagnetic and diamagnetic differences due to the unfilled and filled valence shells. They prepare saturated solutions and place into test tubes.

For this "ing" ending worksheet, students read a story and fill in the missing words from a word bank with "--ing" ending words. Students then illustrate the story.

Students listen to and discuss American music genres, specifically ragtime, bebop/bop, and swing, and experiment with improvisation on traditional tunes and rhythms.

In this suffixes word search, students circle 15 words hidden within a word puzzle. Each word ends in the letters -ng and include such words as "swing" and "wrong".
