Why does Earth experience summer, fall, winter, and spring? Using an informative demonstration, learners see how the angle of the sun on Earth and the rotation of Earth determine the seasons. Scholars work in pairs to learn that the...

Bring the five senses to life with a fun science experiment! Kindergartners and first graders read an explanation of the five senses, then identify which items Sophia can sense if she is blindfolded. A science explanation at the bottom...

Crawl into the world of the darkling beetle with this scientific investigation. Watch as the insects move through the larval, pupal, and adult stages of life, recording observations along the way. Discuss the necessities of life as young...

Students observe the inherited traits in earthworms and mealworms. In this organisms lesson, students view a live mealworm and earthworm on a tray and identify the body parts. Students measure the worms and observe the behavior....

First graders read "The Red Racer" by Audrey Wood. They identify choices and consequences present in the story. They identify and evaluate choices, and the consequences of those choices, in everyday life both at school and home.

Using a variety of objects, learners conduct buoyancy experiments. They make predictions on which object will sink or float and test their predictions. They use a graphic organizer to record their findings.

Students recognize differences between themselves and other people, and accept their uniqueness as a positive gift, by studying meal worms.

Students maintain a compost bin and build a worm observatory. They design experiments relating to worms and record observations in a worm journal.

Pupils work together to decide where their donated money should go. They list the possible choices and evaluate what is most important to them. They must have a consensus before the money is donated.
