In this seasons worksheet, students read a short article on the 4 seasons, put the 4 seasons in correct order 4 times and then draw a summer picture and a winter picture in the 2 boxes provided.

Second graders will track the weather patterns throughout the school year. This project spans the school year and takes five minutes per day or less. Measuring, data collection, and predictions are all explored throughout this relevant...

Students observe and sort tree leaves. In this earth science lesson, students observe the attributes of real leaves and measure leaves using Unifix cubes.

Students hike a local mountain and examine its life zones. They measure various components at each zone and collect leaf litter at the sites. At the mountain top, students make descriptive observations and complete a handout about the...

In this data management and probability applications worksheet, 7th graders solve 13 different types of problems that include finding the mean, median, mode, and range of each set of values, as well as, solving a number of word problems....

Middle schoolers arrange themselves into small groups. Each group chooses a distance to measure ( the distance between the slide and the swings, for instance). Person #1 walks the distance, counting the number of his or her steps. ...

Third graders view a clip of the video Backyard Safari, "Trees," and portray the life cycle of a tree. They also view a clip on structures of a tree and draw a diagram of a tree in their science journals.

Learners determine how scientists measure pollutants in food and the environment. Students discover how scientists remove one material based on its physical properties. Learners figure out how much of a pollutant is present after...

Uranium 235 has a half-life of over 700 million years and is the fuel used in the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. Pupils see the half-lives and decay rates of Carbon-14 and Uranium-238. They also take measurements of these two...

Pairs of pupils get together in order to measure the heights and lengths of their shadows. They use these measurements in order to predict the height of other friends in class. A good activity to practice measuring things that cannot be...

Get your class outside to observe their surroundings with a lesson highlighting weather patterns and seasonal changes. First, learners take a weather walk to survey how the weather affects animals, people, plants, and trees during...

In this science worksheet, 3rd graders answer multiple choice questions about measurement, plants, water, fossils, and more. Students complete 25 questions.
