Fourth graders explain the contributions of Native American Indians, explorers, and Utah's pioneers. They classify items based on value and determine what makes them valuable to individuals, groups, communities, etc.

Second graders explore bird classification, specifically owls. They dissect their own owl pellet and explain the predetor and prey relationship.

Pupils examine a variety of fruit to discover that each has seeds. Through experimentation, they discover the role that fruit and seeds play in a plant's life cycle.

Students measure the lengths of provided leafs to the nearest millimeter. Students identify trends in the data as well as sourced of inaccuracy and formulate additional questions that could be investigated to enhance their understanding.

Pupils make group decisions about matter as they explore and interpret many types.

Students explore things that move in a directional path.

Pupils make simple observations, test mixtures, and make generalized inferences from their observations. They observe bleeding of colored inks with water.

Learners make observations about mealworms using hand lenses, rulers, and cotton swabs. Students complete their own mealworm observation chart, then they share their observations with the class. This is one station out of five in an...

Students use standard rulers to measure the length of common classroom items - such as pencils, books, desk tops - in inches and centimeters, and measure weight in pounds. They also answer math questions, such as "How long is the front...

Students identify oviparous animals. They brainstorm a list of animals that lay eggs, read "Chickens Aren't The Only Ones" by Ruth Heller and then add to the list. Students complete a booklet that shows an egg and an oviparous animal.

Second graders review the weather through a role-playing game.

Fifth graders experiment to discover how many paper clips different types of magnets can pick up. They make predictions, carry out the experiment and collate the data.

Students discover which properties of solids lend themselves to building a tower through hands on trial and error and observation of others as they are building. They write down the steps it took them to build the tower and label an...

Students use funnels to put the five solid materials into clear bottles with caps. They observe how the particulate materials look, sound, and move when they shake and roll the bottle. Finally, students write "sound and touch" poetry.

Students examine the relationship between temperature and brightness.  In this astronomy activity students will correlate the evolution of stars to the HR diagram plotted. 

First graders view congruent shapes on a white board and define what congruent means.  In this congruent shapes lesson, 1st graders recognize which shapes are congruent and which aren't  Students complete a giant worksheet in...

Eighth graders explore the three laws of motion. In this physics lesson, 8th graders observe teacher demonstration and explain what happened in terms of Newton's Laws. They complete worksheet at the end of the lesson.

Students participate in a demonstration to test the different densities of plastics, and suggest a method that plastic waste can be separated and collected.

Young scholars investigate geometric shapes in their environment, make a geometric design, and write paragraphs describing the design.

Second graders explore the types of tools that scientists use t o study weater,

First graders draw pictures of how they came to school.

Students explore ink-drawn patterns and create one. They use a variety of lines, patterns, and design to create a visually engaging composition.

Students collect snail shells, measure and record their lengths and if they are occupied by a hermit crab. They discover if their is a size difference between occupied and unoccupied shells.

Students create marbled prints by dipping paper through starch and acrylic paint.
