Around and Around We Go

Explore space science by reading a non-fiction book in class. Pupils read the book Science All Around and discuss the technical aspects of scientific investigation, particularly space exploration. Then they define a list of scientific...

Youngsters become flexible problem solvers with this challenging lesson. If there are 24 square tables in a restaurant, how many customers can be seated at one time? They can use manipulatives or draw pictures to help them find the...

Come take a ride on the space bus! Scholars go on an imaginary trip to pick up their peers from the inner and outer planets while reinforcing math skills. First, learners round decimals to identify each planets' distance from Earth....

Trying to approach measuring in a fun and interactive way? You found it! This worksheet has young learners first cut out two "rulers" - one with simple units marked, and another with blank squares. They begin by going around their house...

Explore with your class the characteristics of acute, obtuse, right, complementary, and supplementary angles. They take digital photographs around the school and identify the angles in the images. Uisng software, they label and print the...

Pupils get the big picture, going non-digital forces them to process an abstract idea in more visual and complex ways. They are told that as long as they have analog clocks on the wall, students should make use of those hands going...

Customers often want ribbon around fancy cakes, but how does a baker know how much ribbon to buy? Scholars view a cake with multiple layers in different geometric shapes. They must figure the perimeter and circumference and add them...

Students discover what forces work together to hold up a suspension bridge. They see various bridges around the world, and learn the basic principles that enable each bridge to support itself. Groups design their own bridge, testing how...

Students attempt to determine where a ball will travel when it is bounced. They set up an experiment in which they predict the line a ball will follow when it hits an object and bounces off. They draw the line that predicts where the...

Young scholars explore the idea that they we are going to work on a collaborative project to create a class quilt for the students to visually represent the vocabulary in their Math book. They additionally use the digital camera and...
