Young scholars outline a body on butcher paper. Students fill in the circulatory system using materials of various textures. Young scholars decorate all the parts of the circulatory system with art articles, like buttons, yarn, etc.

Students make several models of the solar system to learn the positions of the planets in the solar system as well as relative distances and sizes. Creation of these models will help them identify the planets by size, shape, color,...

Students investigate and design various models of size and distance related to the solar system. They work together to build a solar system model. The models should focus on distance and scale. They don't include moons or satellites in...

Motivate your class with this lesson. Learners explore the solar system and practice working with fractions using this resource. They construct scale models of our solar system, and use fractions to correctly configure the solar system...

There is more to the solar system than the typical study of the sun and planets. Launch a study of asteroids, meteoroids, and comets by watching the video The Story of the Solar System, available for purchase through this...

Use this KWL-inspired booklet to explore the solar system. After teaching a lesson on the planets that compose our solar system, have learners complete the rest of this booklet. There are four pages: a title page, a page to record...

Young scholars brainstorm a list of potential uses for micro-video technologies. After reading an article, they analyze the development of a new pill-sized camera. In groups, they create a children's book that shows them the various...

Students inquire about human anatomy by completing a worksheet. In this body systems instructional activity, students discuss the importance of a self-regulating body and how the skeletal, muscular, respiratory and digestive system...

Young scholars create movements that connect art and science. In this body systems lesson, students interpret the function of body systems, organs, and processes as they create movements to exhibit their research findings.

Sixth graders explore the human body by viewing video clips. In this digestive system lesson, 6th graders discuss what they think happens when they swallow food. Students view a Brain Pop clip demonstrating the digestion of food and...

Students explore the solar system.  In this solar system science lesson plan, students choose 3 out of 12 centers to visit, each of which contains an activity related to the planets. The station activities are designed to address...

Students explore the Solar System. For this cross-curriculum space instructional activity, students identify the planets, name them in order according to distance from the sun, and describe major characteristics of each planet. Students...

Students identify the systems of the human body and their functions. They illustrate the systems to investigate where and how they function in the body. Afterward, they layer these systems to comprehend the depth and dimension of the...

Students investigate the use of the metric system within the context of cooking and reading a recipe. They make conversions with the recipe ingredients and then work in groups to create a book of recipes with colorfully designed pages.

In this problem solving worksheet, 6th graders solve 4 sets of linear system equations involving addition and subtractions by graphing out the answers to each equation.

Learners investigate body systems by participating in a role-play activity. Third, fourth, and fifth graders pretend that they are an organ or system of the human body, and they must write a letter to the body "corporation" discussing...

To truly teach through the arts means one must tackle both art and core content in one lesson. This quick activity does just that. Learners make skeletons out of cotton swabs in order to study relief sculpture and the skeletal system....

Students investigate the human circulatory system by experimenting with hoses.  In this human body lesson, students create a system of hoses simulating the circulatory system which they utilize to pass objects through....

Second graders demonstrate how the human body is made up of different systems whose functions are related. They trace their bodies on butcher block paper and put in at least five of the body systems in the appropriate area of the body.

Pupils probe an interdisciplinary unit on our solar system. Distances between planets, their characteristics, and applications to student's personal lives are analyzed in this experience. The unit contains seven lessons.

Students work in small groups to research information about planets in the solar system. They create picture postcards from space, drawing images they imagine they would see while traveling to a planet. They then write personal messages...
