Have your class explore symmetry, radial balance and fractional parts in natural and man-made objects in their environment. Learners list examples and identify symmetrical and asymmetrical designs. Pupils are given a box of crayons and...

Students discover how moods and perceptions can be affected by colors. As a class, they create their own color wheel and identify primary and secondary colors. They draw their own cool and warm color mosaic and discuss how each one of...

Students observe the colors found in the flame of a burning candle and examine the basic concepts of matter and energy. Students apply this information to the color's of starts and the temperature of the stars photosphere. Students...

Students engage in an activity that will allow them to observe that hotter conditions can speed up changes in materials. They will predict whether food coloring disperses more quickly in hot, cold, or room temperature water, and then...

Students examine how temperature effects changes in materials. In this physical science lesson, students use food coloring and cups of water of varying temperatures to observe the effects temperature has on matter. Students predict and...

Students experiment with tree shading and house colors to see how to reduce the temperature of a home.

Students work together to test how the color of a material affects how much heat it absorbs. They make predictions and take notes on their observations. They discover how engineers use this type of information.

High schoolers review the principle elements of design along with the sequence of colors on the color wheel. In groups, they assign a feeling or mood to each color and share it with the class. To end the lesson, they use the internet to...

Students view examples of portraits noting how the colors used make them feel. Using the same portrait, they redo them using different colors and then compare and contrast the first painting and second one in regards to how it makes...

Learners examine the materials that are used to make space suits. They complete an experiment in which they test different materials in different colors to determine the best one for keeping astronauts comfortable. They analyze the data.

Students examine how heating causes substances to expand, and cooling cause it to contract. They investigate the states of matter.

Investigate how temperature affects the density of water and stratification that occurs in bodies of water when temperatures vary. Water of differing temperatures is given different colors to see the layers that form. The lesson is meant...

Second graders experiment with a thermometer and water samples of varying temperatures. They examine the effect different colors and different fabrics have on retaining heat. They examine snow samples for water and dirt content. They...

Students view and identify the colors on the color wheel. After viewing a PowerPoint, they discuss the reasons why animals become endangered. They examine the life and works of Andy Warhol and review contour drawing. To end the lesson...

Students measure the temperatures over time of different colored envelopes in order to explore the different rates at which each color absorbs energy from a heat lamp. They record their data and graph their results.

Students measure the air and soil temperatures at designated times. They graph the temperatures of each on one piece of graph paper with different colors. Students compare the information for the two line plots and analyze their results...

Students complete activities to learn about rainbows and the importance of dairy in their diet. In this sense and diet instructional activity, students discuss rainbow colors, the importance of sight, and the importance of dairy in a...
