Students participate in designing a city layout using grids and coordinates. They work on a city space and create a grid on a life size layout on the gym floor.

Young scholars use a world outline map to locate places using coordinates of latitude and longitude. They answer questions about places based on their knowledge of the map and on their research and make up more questions of this sort...

Fourth graders plot points on a graph and transfer those coordinates onto a large scale model resulting in an outline of the Western Hemisphere. They identify the major geographical landforms of the Western Hemisphere.

Young scholars explore geometry by participating in a pattern identification activity. In this tetrominoes lesson plan, students define the characteristics of congruent and symmetrical shapes. Young scholars practice translating shapes...

Students investigate the Underground Railroad. In this slavery lesson, students read books about slavery, the Undeground Railroad, and how slaves escaped the south. Students develop knowledge about coded songs and constellations that...

Fourth graders engage in a virtual tour of the state of Florida.
