Different! Diverse! Dynamic! Lesson 1: Late Bloomers

What better way to learn about plant life than by creating a class garden? Young botanists start with a brief discussion about radishes before planting seeds and watching them grow. To determine the importance of water, sunlight, and...

A seed, water, and sunlight. A seed, water, but no sunlight. A seed, sunlight, but no water. Young biologists are ask to infer what will happen to seeds given five different growing conditions. 

Learners graph growing patterns using ordered pairs on a coordinate grid. They read The Fly on the Ceiling, a Math Myth.

Learners review terminology: pulse, heart rate, target heart rate zone. They work in three groups, and assigned to one of three activity stations. At 5-minute intervals, 4th graders check their pulse and record it on their group card....

Young scholars are introduced to the seed cycle and draw the specific steps. In groups, they identify the human barriers to the spreading of weeds. After calculating the rate of spreading of the Yellowstar Thistle, they create graphs to...

In this bean growth project graphing activity, student collect data and create a line graph. They use a different color for each line that shows the growth of each bean plant.

Students listen to a teacher read aloud of Ruth Krauss', The Carrot Seed. They plant seeds using variables to explain the basic needs of plant growth. They record the differences in growth according to the variables.

Students take their pulse rates. In this graphing lesson, students take their pulse rates and graph them. Students do various physical activities and graph the differences in their pulse rates.

Students study the Manduca bug and its growth data. They look for patterns and compare their own growth rate to that of the Manduca.

This well-designed math worksheet invites learners to work in pairs in order to determine which plan is the better value when going to an amusement park. Plan A and Plan B each have different admission fees, and different rates per ride....
