Students improve upper body strength (push-ups). This can be used as part of a strength warm-up or as a fitness station.

Pupils participate in a hands-on demonstration of the communication between the EUVE satellite and a scientist on Earth.

Students are introduced to several traditional Japanese sports and games. Students organize an 'Undokai' - a sports day in which they compete in teams.

Sixth graders construct a graph to demonstration information that they've learned about the solary system. They also write or illustrate a sonar or lunar eclipse.

First graders identify basic shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle) and describes the attributes of each. They use magazines to find examples of each shape, and then make a collage.

Eighth graders create their own experiements using toy trucks, cars or balls to measure the time it takes two of them to travel 5 meters, as well as at each 1 meter interval. They make use computers to make a time/distance graph and...

Fourth graders take a nature walk on a nice sunny spring day. They discuss different things in nature. They write down observations in their notebook.

Students, in groups, have 2 hoops set up about 8-10 feet apart and across from each other. Each group tries to get as many darts to land inside the hoops as possible in the time limit.

Students observe how different density soils and rocks behave in wind and in water. They make predictions and careful observations as they explore sediment transport and sediment rates in streams and rivers.

Students examine stars and constellations in the night sky. They complete a KWL chart and calculate the mass of stars. They also discuss how a star is formed.

Students complete a hands on activity to determine how scientists use indirect observations to define problems that are not directly measurable. They complete an associate student handout.

Students discuss the topic of streamflow and how it occurs. They take measurements and analyze them. They interpret data and create their own charts and graphs.

Students examine the mercator projection or nautical chart and observe how global maps do not have the same distance as flat maps. They design handmade globes using the meridians and equator as guides to draw in the land. They paint and...

Students participate in a game called "Rhyme Charades." The teacher thinks of a word to begin the charades game giving the clue "my word rhymes with ...". The students who have a guess stand in the middle of the circle and pantomine...

Second graders brainstorm as a class, things that come in pairs and discuss why we say they come in pairs. They observe the teacher as she explains that grouping items in pairs make them easier to count; discovering that she is counting...

Students work in small groups. They imagine that they are the council committee. Students choose from a list of projects to be funded. They have one hundred thousand dollars to spend and they have to spend the money on a project that...

Students are introduced to the problem. They brainstorm ideas for approaching the problem and keeping track of what has been done. Students work on the problem in pairs to discover what strategies might help to find the answer.

Students discover that when writing a how-to paper, they are telling readers how to do something such as cook a particular recipe. They then choose one of the provided topics and write their own how-to paper.

Students identify items in their homes that come from coal. They divide into groups and decide as a group which items are made from coal by-products. They then divide their poster board into three columns and label the first - items made...

Learners explore a visual look at the cues for each skill theme taught. They review all the cues that they discuss and practice in PE class. They examine the theme and cues and reminders of cues while working on the theme.

Students identify the grapheme and phoneme for H. They practice writing the letter H and through listening activities, discriminate the phoneme /h/. They associate the phoneme /h/ with its letter representation and identify it as the...

Students hypothesize about the nature of falling objects, design an experimental test to answer the question using everyday objects, analyze data to form conclusions, and infer that mass does not affect the speed of falling objects. This...

Pupils discover how the coefficient of restitution is applied to sports by measuring the bounciness of a ball. After examining the mathematical equation that applies to coefficient of restitution, students go to the gym, measure the COR...

Students illustrate geographical terms in three-dimensional form. They use magic modeling goop and paint to create features of the geographic landscape. Students explain the meaning of geographical terms.
