Pupils compare and contrast the two measurement scales of Fahrenheit and Celsius. They calculate the temperature using both measurements. Students demonstrate their comprehension of these systems by creating a dual-system thermometer...

Students estimate and compare temperature using degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit, and create mini temperature posters and answer questions about temperature.

Students complete activities to measure temperature. In this temperature lesson, students read Geoffrey Groundhog Predicts the Weather and make a KWL chart about predicting weather. Students discuss folklore about temperature and learn...

Pupils recognize the concept of temperature, including degrees, and the melting and freezing process. In this 1st - 2nd grade lesson plan, students identify the temperature of various objects, as well as create their own paper...

Young scholars create a model of the USDA's Food Pyramid Guide, using shoe boxes. They bring an assortment of shoe boxes from home. Students are given a copy of the "Food Guide Pyramid." They wrap boxes for the bread group in white, the...

Students examine the atmospheric data for CO2. In this web-based atmospheric instructional activity, student follow instructions to examine and plot on-line scientific data about the CO2 levels in our atmosphere and analyze the changes...

Students make ice cream as a result of viewing changes of states of matter. In this matter lesson plan, students learn how heating and cooling can effect a state of matter to change.

Young scholars investigate how temperature and salinity causes ocean layering. In this ecology lesson, students observe and sketch their experimental result. They report their findings in class.

Students explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. In this surface area lesson plan, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons. Students...

Third graders investigate physics by conducting an experiment.  In this gravity lesson, 3rd graders create a ramp using books and paper which they roll a marble down.  Students utilize the scientific method to predict and...

Fourth graders investigate the effects of temperature on Native American lifestyle and culture. In small groups they conduct research on cultural practices showing a connection to the climate and create a poster displaying their...

Students construct a replica of the Atlantic ocean given certain parameters. In this earth science instructional activity, students draw their own map of ocean currents. They answer questions related to the activity.
