Young scholars analyze how the parts of a system go together and how these parts depend on each other. They comprehend the forces in terms of strength and direction. Students observe, measure and describe weather indicators.

Students compare hurricanes and tornadoes. They write a paragraph explaining how to prepare for a storm. Students give an oral report. They use weather facts to practice math skills. Students record observations of a storm.

Students explore the concept of geometric symmetry. In this geometric symmetry lesson, students walk around their school and take pictures of objects that demonstrate symmetry. Students use Microsoft Paint to draw the lines of symmetry...

Students explore how to build a bridge and test how much weight it can support.

Fourth graders observe a demonstration experiment showing air pressure. They explain air pressure by completing the worksheet.

Pupils use EngineSim and information found on the World Wide Web to complete the activity on the relationship between the atmosphere and jet fuel. They discover how much air is required to pass through a jet engine.

Students study about deriving centripetal acceleration for motion at constant speed around a circle.

Students discover how cell phone service works while participating in a role play activity. They identify its advantages and disadvantages based on service. They examine how engineers use this information to develop better...

Fourth graders relate myths to weather phenomenon. They write and illustrated a weather myth and present it to the class.

Students collect and analyze data about wind speed. They build a Lego wind sail and measure the wind speed with a rotation sensor. They use software to analyze the data.

Learners participate in activities in which they examine magnetic domains. They analzye how different colored metals and how they react to magnets.
