Using footballs, basketballs, tennis balls, and more, learners conduct experiments to illustrate Newton's Laws of Motion.  The experiments are conducted outside, and require them to throw, kick, and hit a variety of balls. Your...

Learners participate in physical fitness activities. They role a dice and perform the activity associated with the dice number. Activities include push ups, toe touches, curl ups, jump rope, jumping jacks, sit-ups, and shooting a...

In this Bob Bat worksheet, students will help Bob find a new home by linking "natural" words through a maze of man made words, such as umbrella and litter.

Imagine using your ears and voice to see. That is what bats do with echolocation. Demonstrate how echolocation works with this fun game for your classroom. Buzz, buzz!

Get children's blood pumping with this primary grade lesson on the human heart. After learning about the important role this muscle plays in the human body, students monitor their heart rates and discover the importance of...

Students learn along with Ms. Frizzle's class. In this Magic School Bus lesson plan, students explore outer space as they visit the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in order to learn about our solar system.

Students conduct studies of states of matter. In this science lesson plan, students observe the properties of matter and classify different substances as solids, liquids, and gases.

In this forces worksheet, students read about Newton's law of motion and decide whether pictures are pushing or pulling. Students decide the push or pull for 4 pictures.

Students use Internet resources to explore information associated with owning a dog. They participate in an on-line scavenger hunt to expand their knowledge of pet ownership.

Second graders create planet mobiles in order to reinforce concepts such as planet size, position in relation to the sun, and planet names.

Students identify the planets by making two models of the Solar System. They create a model that shows the order of the planets and a model that shows the planets sizes as compared to one another. They may write about the planet they...

Students observe the state changes in water. In this matter lesson, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state. Students explore how water can change from a solid to a liquid then back again. They journal their...

Students work together as a team to create a birdhouse. This activity show students that each member of a team has a specific responsibility and job to perform. They compare the houses built by the different teams.

Students participate in a lab activity in which they examine the characteristics of radon. They identify radon's link to cases of lung cancer. They complete a radon fact sheet and answer questions to end the lesson.

Students investigate variables that influence the bouncing of balls.  In this exploratory lesson students observe how the manipulated and control variable are correlated by graphing the data.

Students predict the path of a ball bouncing off an object. In this physics lesson plan, students conduct the rolling ball experiment to test their prediction. They perform several trials for accuracy.
