Fourth graders explore geometric properties and relationships in a two-dimensional work of art. They first search for and identify polygons in a Cubist painting and then use polygons to create their own Cubist portrait of a classmate.

Take young geologists on an exploration of the rock cycle with this six-lesson earth science unit on rocks and minerals. Through a series of discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on investigations your class will learn...

First graders sort toys by various attributes. They, in groups, sort toy vehicles by color, size etc. and then explain how they chose to group the toys. They write, draw or dictate an explanation of their sorting methods.

Students examine the Flying Geese quilt pattern, and discuss and identify the pattern. They write a paragraph titled, My Quilt Report, summarizing the information discussed about the quilt patterns.

Tenth graders collect and analyze soil samples and extrapolate the characteristics needed to support different types of plant life. They research different types of prairie soil and how it supports plant and animal life.

Second graders construct a model of an ant, exemplifying that ants are insects. Students gather data create a pictograph chart to show ant food preferences. Also, 2nd graders access the Internet to explore ant eating habits.

Third graders use Google Earth to examine Roman architecture. In this ancient Rome lesson plan, 3rd graders visit the noted URLs to look at examples of Roman architecture. Students work in teams to examine data about the structures.
