This lesson certainly will not be a drag! Little engineers design parachutes that make use of air resistance and, as a result, slow the descent of the payload as much as possible. It is an opportunity to teach about many motion concepts:...

Do big bodies make big brains? Let your learners decide whether there is an association between body weight and brain weight by putting the data from different animals into a scatterplot. They can remove any outliers and then make a line...

In this counting practice activity, students use their problem solving skills to solve 228 problems that require them to count objects up to 4.

In this counting practice learning exercise, students use their problem solving skills to solve 228 problems that require them to count objects up to 3.

In this counting practice activity, students use their problem solving skills to solve 228 problems that require them to count objects.

In this chemistry worksheet, high schoolers look for the covalent compounds while examining the objects in the classroom. They also apply the knowledge of formulas.

In this earthquake exploration worksheet, students complete 3 prior knowledge questions, then use "Energy Conversions Gizmo" to conduct several activities, completing short answer questions when finished.

Students discover the difference between form and shape as it pertains to interior design. After identifying objects as either shapes or forms, they design their own shapes and give them form. Activities include creating shapes and...

Pupils participate in activities in which they explore how the space and objects around them can be altered. Using various types of software, they design and create a three-dimensional building and share it with the class. They also...

Students reate an original crayon resist painting of a bugs life. They Choose 1 or more bugs to draw in composition and simplify objects into simple shapes, forms, and patterns students draw objects with spontaneity and imagination.

Ninth graders discuss life of Lucas Samaras, identify familial, cultural, and personal characteristics, and create 3-dimensional containers exploring external and internal characteristics

Students investigate spheres through sketches. In this geometry lesson, students sketch two and three dimensional shapes creating nets. They find and differentiate between the nets for prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders and spheres.

Students view a video about cost of materials. They work together to develop their own backpack taking note of the cost of materials. They create an advertisement to accompany their creation. They share their ideas with the class.

First graders create two-dimensional shapes. In this shapes lesson, 1st graders learn about different two-dimensional shapes. Students have many hands-on experiences with these shapes including the use of geoboards, shaving cream, yarn,...

Sixth graders explore characteristics of two and three-dimensional figures. They observe the teacher demonstrate the faces, edges, vertices and names of specific figures. In groups, 6th graders examine and describe given figures. ...

Second graders view clips from the animated series Math Monsters, and discuss the many ways patterns can be found in the world around us. Following the video portion of the lesson, 2nd graders visit a variety of Web sites to assess their...

Students investigate that an unbalanced force, acting on an object, changes it speed or path of motion or both, and know that if the force always acts toward the same center as the object moves, the objects path may curve into an orbit...

Students pick different objects and measure the shadow they cast. In this geometry lesson, students experiment with shadows using a flashlight and an object to cast a shadow. They measure and differentiate between the shadow and the real...

In this planets in space worksheet, learners calculate their weight on the 9 planets plus calculate the distance of the planets from the sun in astronomical units. This worksheet has 6 fill in the blank and 3 short answer questions.

In this lengths, areas and shapes worksheet, students explore overlapping and non-overlapping patterns. They identify the number of objects in a pattern, determine how the pattern may be folded to create additional patterns, and...

In this energy transfer instructional activity, high schoolers answer 17 questions about energy, kinds of energy and forces that do work. They calculate power of forces and work done on objects.

In this math worksheet, students examine the position of an object and then use the formulas to determine its path over time. Then they apply the information in order to determine the traveling path of an asteroid in space.

Students sort objects based on one characteristic. They define the term "attribute" and give examples of attributes of objects. Students explain their reasoning for sorting objects into groups.

Young scholars define matter, the chemical properties of matter, and the physical properties of matter. They name physical and chemical properties of matter (by classifying using a Tree Map). Students determine the mass, volume, and...
