Young scholars experience various Winter Olympic sports in Physical Education class. In this Winter Olympics lesson, students participate in stations which represent the Olympic games. These representative stations include a biathlon,...

Students explore mathematical concepts, problem solving, and the ability to program in LOGO to test ideas about speed, acceleration, gravity, and slope when dealing with downhill skiing.

Students calculate acceleration due to gravity with the measurements of the period of a pendulum or measurements of the time for an object to fall from different heights. They observe and measure the effect of air resistance on the...

How often do you ride a bike? Time frequency words are featured in a lesson designed for ESL/ELD classrooms. 

Young athletes practice various locomotor movements. They use locomotor skills as directed by the teacher to move between "Olympic rings" (hula hoops). Students participate in a discussion about Olympic events prior to playing the game.

Students use this problem to help them to relate to force vectors: Suspend a meterstick horizontally between two tables. Place a 1kg mass in the middle of the meterstick. Notice the bend of the meterstick. Explain why the meterstick...

Learners explore the concept of slope.  In this Algebra I lesson, students investigate the definition of slope as rise over run or change in y compared to change in x.  The lesson includes a real-world problem in which the...

Students practice throwing a football. In this sports lesson, students work in partners to complete passes until they score a touchdown. Students earn one point for each touchdown.

Students calculate the slope of a line. In this algebra lesson, students graph a line using the slope and y-intercepts. They define the steepness of the line using the slope.

Students improve their written and spoken accuracy by having a good grasp of the relationship between time expressions. After a lecture/demo, students work individually to complete an assignment imbedded in this plan.

First graders study water-its properties, its 3 states, and the way we rely on it for everyday living. They read Water, Water Everywhere, draw murals of where they have seen water and the ways they use it and eat/drink snacks that are...

Students design and conduct experiment to determine if weight added incrementally to an object affects amount of friction encountered when it slides across a flat surface. They graph data from their experiments, and calculate...

Students practice stepping and jumping, using specified foot action, in rhythm. In groups, they practice jumping onto stomp rocket launchers and demonstrate how to increase the distance by raising the angle of the launcher. After each...

Learners brainstorm a list of the activities they can participate in during the winter months. In groups, they rotate between stations in which they can practice or try the different winter sports. To end the lesson, they can play the...

Pupils explore empathy and fairness. They examine the importance of being able to empathize with people who are different from themselves. Students explore ways of resolving conflict and they recognize the concerns of others.

Students recite a chant that has rhyming words in it having to do with squirrels. In this rhyming words lesson, students also practice saying ordinal numbers with this chant.

Ninth graders read and color “Boats, Boats, Boats on Lake Champlain.”  In this US History lesson, 9th graders listen to more detailed descriptions of the history of boating on Lake Champlain.  Students draw a picture of a boat...
