Students investigate woodworking and converting lengths to cubic measurements.  In this math conversions instructional activity, students examine the length of a piece of board, and its total area by using the formula for finding...

Students study sound and how it is created.  In this sound waves lesson students complete a lab activity that shows students the variables that affect sound. 

Students discover the focal point in pictures and create their own images using lines and space.  For this art analysis lesson, students create a black dot on a white paper which becomes a focal point for the lines the student will...

In this plant science worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle with 48 questions. They identify the different parts of a plant.

Learners discover what an atlatl is and how to use it. In this Native American lesson, students discuss the history of the Native American atlatl and practice throwing with it. Learners will analyze the effects of the atlatl in terms of...

In this craft project instructional activity, students gather materials and with adult help, construct a table for feeding birds. This is an advanced project.

In this math and climate worksheet, students complete a set of 10 word problems, all related to math and climate. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this volcano worksheet, students measure the slope of a volcano and its baseline and summit degrees. They identify the type of volcano, the type of lava and the type of eruption.

Learners draw pictures while following simple instructions. They discuss the importance of following directions explicitly. They discuss the differences between each child's work. They follow a second set of directions.

Pupils use FoilSim to demonstrate that the graphic analysis of the airflow around one object can be used to hypothesize airflow graphs for objects as they are elongated from a sphere to an airfoil shape.

Students use the FoilSim educational software program to complete an activity regarding lift. They solve a multivariable equation for each of the variables and apply the results to various problems in different situations.

Students use data from real-life models to calculate and compare the force required for an airplane of a given weight to become airborne. They use a graphing calculator to evaluate data and use the World Wide Web to access data.

Learners use FoilSim (downloadable) to determine how lift is affected by varying parameters on the Airfoil simulation.

Students use 3-D modeling techniques to observe the characteristic signature of the stall condition apparent on an airfoil at high angles of attack. They use FoilSim to compare the above with ideal airflow.

Students, during this twelve week series of lessons, learn basic anatomy through life sketches of human skeletons and shells. They learn fundamentals of line and convey life through sketches learning science through art.

Students play a card game to test their memory. Special cards are provided, as well as clear directions.

Students build a stack of pennies as tall as possible, recording the number of pennies they are able to stack before the tower falls. Then, sharing answers, they determine the average number of pennies that could be stacked.

Learners experience the process of creating a "dance team" type routine by following a set procedure.

Students get an understanding of the main components of the digestive system and how the system takes the food we eat and converts it into energy.

Students identify coin/money values, write amounts of money and calculate change. The poem, "Smart" by Shel Silverstein is used in this instructional activity.

Students explain the properties of copper as a material for making tools and explain the properties of different chisel points. They gain practice taking notes on qualitative and quantitative data.

Pupils list characteristics of wetland and describe the functions of a wetland.

Students design a bridge using pasta. They explore the elements of architecture involved in bridge building. They practice problem solving in a hands-on cooperative group effort.

Students carve out a design on a block of wood in order to make wood cut prints. They plan their cuts around the gray and black areas to be printed.
