Students explore how snow helps animals survive in the wild. In this animal science lesson, students review key vocabulary words and discuss types of animal adaptations. Students construct shoebox to simulate the snowy environment where...

Students examine the different kinds of propellers and their functions.  In this airplane lesson students build a hand made propeller.

Students examine the aerodynamics of a wing and how it generates lift.  In this flight lesson students complete several experiments including how to build a paper plane and how airfoils affect performance.

Students explore a variety of traveling skills. They explain the concepts of moving over, under, around, and through objects while moving slowly, and under control.

Students examine the impact of the North Shore Road Project in North Carolina. In this environmental science lesson, students share their views regarding this environmental issue. They compare and contrast the map of the Great Smoky...

In this English worksheet, students read " Record Bank Robbery in Brazil," and then respond to 47 fill in the blank, 7 short answer, 20 matching, and 8 true or false questions about the selection.

Students explain and explain the interactive relationships between forces of lift and gravity, thrust and drag, as they apply to airplanes in motion. They know that Orville and Wilbur Wright flew the first airplane based on these...

Students discuss the application of frames of reference to an airplane flying with a constant velocity v through the air.

Students, in pairs, have a hoop in which they are to, on the teacher's signal, run through the hoops as quickly as they can. Partners switch positions as the game continues.

Students investigate what sort of person the author is. They listen as the teacher use her notes to introduce Tom Holt briefly. Students are asked if anyone has read any of his books. They work in pairs to find more about Tom Holt as a...

Learners participate in an activity to help them remember their alphabet. They write letters out of plaster and walk through the woods identifying different objects that begin with each letter.

Students consider important structures in their community -- specifically, those structures that have had a great impact on the history of their community.

Fourth graders view a Newton's Apple show that explores glider mechanics, explore the four forces, build and fly a glider to specific guidelines. They adjust the glider for greater accuracy and distance using four forces, and assess...

Students study aerodynamic forces - lift and drag - and see how those forces affect cycling performance. They see how those forces are calculated and how

Students examine the functions of earthworms and their effect on soil. They conduct an earthworm dissection lab, and complete a checklist.

Students practice doubling their reading speed while maintaining comprehension. Students use visualization techniques to gain greater comprehension.

Students decide on an activity like running, swimming or skating for a performance analysis. They have friends or family members videotape them as they exercise, then review the video to see how they can improve their performance.

Learners explore renewable and non-renewable energy sources, discuss how each source was created, and identify and sketch out the cycle of energy for each renewable source.

Students write position papers from the point of view of a Shigaraki art collector in this lesson plan on pottery techniques found in Japan between the Kamakura and Muromachi periods.

Students examine maps of different projections, mathematically calculate distortions, and note the advantages and disadvantages of each map. They study the different maps and transfer the map to graph paper.

Students examine the movement of the Bison over the land bridge. In groups, they use the events to put them into the correct sequence. They apply measurement to chronological time and read more information about the land bridge.

Young scholars discuss how animals are cared for when they are captured. Using calculations, they determine how much food and water it takes for one bison and compare their water intake to humans. They also compare their weight to that...

Middle schoolers examine the way bison eat and digest their food. Using a diagram, they follow the food from one compartment to the next. They discover that bison are ruminants and discuss why the bison need four stomachs.

Students locate bison-related sites on a map and identify important bison-related sites. The Bison has had a profound effect on the history of Texas and studenst discover the importance of the animal to the history of the state.
