Cementation Teacher Resources

This rock is on a roll! Introduce young geologists and environmentalists to the many uses of limestone using the fifth installment in a series of seven. Illustrate the components and properties of cement, mortar, and concrete,...

In this cement mixer learning exercise, students color a picture of a cement mixer and trace and write the words cement mixer. Students color, trace, and write the word one time each.

Young scholars explain the components of the engineering design process. In groups, they identify the materials that make concrete and practice curing cement using the various methods available. They develop a graph showing the amount...

High schoolers examine concrete samples and guess their strength. They determine the correlation between concrete strength and the cement to water ratio that was used in making each sample. They make a quality concrete based on their...

Young scholars investigate rock formation through cementation, compaction and evaporation. In this rock formation lesson plan, students simulate the process of evaporation, cementation and compaction in the lab. Young scholars explain...

A box is fun to make, especially when it's a candy box! These activities help to cement understanding of the difference between surface area and volume. Have individuals measure the surface area of their box in two-dimensions before...

A Cyberchase video introduces the distance = rate x time equation. Participants then calculate answers to proposed problems and graph a series of results that is then incorporated into a game to help cement the concept. A thorough and...

As part of test prep, or a way to cement writing skills, this presentation would be superb. Students often have trouble with capitalization rules and commas. Coverage of mechanics uses well-thought-out examples.

Cement comprehension skills using the strategies in this activity. After reading the story, Juan Verdades by Joe Hays, learners use context clues to answer questions, identify main ideas and details, and sequence events.

Working under specific constraints and with designated criteria, groups work together to create a product using an assembly line process. In addition, they work through the entire engineering design process with an excellent graphic to...

In this concrete girder worksheet, students use water, sand, cement and gravel to construct concrete girders. Students vary the proportions of the mixtures and label each concrete girder with the mixture's components.

Students examine designs. In this art lesson, students dribble rubber cement over paper and put paint on the rubber cement. When the rubber cement is dry, peel off cement and reveal designs which can be hung as decorations.

Launch your class on an exploration of the solar system. Learners construct solar system models to scale and get a better understanding of our place in the vast void of space. This is a great way for them to cement their understanding of...

Geology geniuses analyze sediment samples with a hand lens and sort according to physical characteristics. They also learn about the processes of cementation, compaction, and lithification within the rock cycle. The lesson plan is...

To review the possessive form, a teacher could use this presentation to help learners cement their understanding of grammar. Using commonly encountered mistakes, it gives students a quiz in which they identify the correct word for use in...

While a simple exploration of plants, this resource which is designed for first graders, provides a series of extension activities to make for a rich experience. First, learners watch a video about plants and label the parts. Then, they...

Challenge your students with this activity on misplaced and dangling modifiers. This 20 question instructional activity could be used after a lesson on this topic to cement students' understanding.

Can scholars find the pattern as they multiply by 10? Third graders learn the beauty of number patterns as they shade in each multiple of ten in a hundreds chart. They complete 10 number sentences multiplying 10 by the numbers 1-10 (one...

Get scholars familiar with the fives multiplication facts using a hundreds chart and number sentences. They skip count by five on the chart, coloring in all numbers that are multiples of five. Do they see a pattern? Next, learners...

Looking for addition practice problems? You've found them! This worksheet features 30 double-digit addend equations and three examples to guide young mathematicians. Because they incorporate carrying for almost every problem, this...

Cement division facts with these drills which include finding remainders and long division. Learners begin by solving 15 horizontally aligned division equations, most of which have remainders. The dividends for this section are all...

What is this letter? Once your class is ready to explore the letter n, use these strategies to combine word examples, pronunciation, and letter recognition. First, can they identify the letter? Make the /n/ sound, explaining...

These inventive strategies help emerging readers focus on the letter e, forming sound associations along with letter recognition. Explain the mouth movement in making the /eee/ sound, asking learners to try it. Can they think of words...
