Here's an interactive with real potential ... potential energy, that is! Scholars analyze scenarios, then rank objects in order of greatest to least kinetic energy, potential energy, and speed. The interactive provides support materials,...

It's all just a matter of time. The resource provides four Fermi questions in reference to time. The questions are open-ended and require classmates to make use of estimation and dimensional analysis.

Not all will still be standing by the end! Challenge classes to use engineering principles to design display cases with specific constraints. A hands-on STEM lesson reviews the concepts of tension, compression, and torque before...

Build an appreciation for the green movement by recycling your own paper! Learners participate in a STEM instructional activity by learning about the process of recycling paper and then designing their own models. Their ultimate task is...

Pour a solid foundation of engineering into the minds of future engineers. Scholars take part in three activities to learn about civil engineering. They build a model of a cable-stayed bridge, conduct an experiment to see the effects of...

Pupils research the five most fuel efficient vehicles of the same type and come up with a way to display the mile per gallon for each vehicle. After choosing a vehicle, scholars create graphs to display miles traveled given the amount of...

Obviously, a sturdy bridge is the desired outcome. Pupils select from one of four different types of truss bridges, then construct a model of the bridge from craft sticks and glue, making sure that it satisfies certain constraints. They...

Enjoy a hands-on lesson that will certainly hold water with your classes. Young scientists design an experiment to determine the materials that absorb water the best. They test both man-made and nature-made materials and conduct...

In this packaging worksheet, students complete a chart where they weigh packages and compare it to the label on the package. Students complete the chart for 5 packages and answer 3 questions.

Students design their own Science experiment. In this science experiment lesson students create a hypothesis related to matter and test it. They displayed their data in a graph.

For this adding pounds worksheet, 1st graders complete 6 problems. They use the picture bank at the top of the page that shows the weight of 6 objects in pounds. They look at the pictures in each problem and match them to their weight...

Students perform a sequence of combined movement skills. They make smooth transitions from one movement to the next and choose the sequence they would like to exhibit.

In this place value balancing act worksheet, 1st graders cut out the unit weights (100, 10, 1) and put them on four scales to make them balance with the weights given.

Students explore air through guided discovery. In this air lesson plan, students will observe three demonstrations about air. They will answer leading questions as they observe how air displaces and takes up space, how air has weight,...

Students write news reports about current issues. In this writing skills instructional activity, students report about the weight epidemic in the United States as they focus on fast food consumption and how it relates to poor health.

In this penguin worksheet, students choose one type of penguin and answer 7 short answer questions about it. They describe where it lives, what it eats, what its predators are, and what its height and weight are.

For this worksheet, students complete 11 multiple choice questions about gorilla's physical characteristics, life span, and weight. Answers are provided.

Students study the food guide pyramid and use it to create their own eating program.In this health lesson plan students visit websites to calculate their BMR, activity level and weight then create a nutrition plan

Students study about sampling through an investigation of rocks found in the schoolyard. They sort the collected rocks by characteristics such as size, weight, and color, to see if any generalizations can be made about the types of rocks...

Students engage in a variety of fun art activities about butterflies and lady bugs. Eric Carle's books are used as an opener for the lessons. They make t-shirts, sandwiches and a lady bug paper weight.

First graders work in small groups to observe the tendency to float or sink for a variety of objects in water. They sort the objects and discuss their observations. They use aluminum foil to construct a boat and test it for weight capacity.

Students make a submarine from a two liter bottle to observe the effects of increased water pressure in deeper water. They discover that water has weight and can cause objects to submerge.

Students name objects that are the same size, shape, and weight as the human brain. They touch the model brain, feeling the folds, etc. They make connections to the chart displaying the brain-like objects. They touch the 'potato flake'...

Pupils design and conduct an experiment to compare the water-holding capacity of sand, soil, and moss. They measure the change in weight for each material after adding the same amount of water to each material.
