Students discover how engineers use sound energy. They participate in hands-on activities in which they discover how we know sound exists. They identify different pitches and frequencies as well.

Pupils are able to analyze practices that affect the use, availabiltiy, and management of natural resources. They are able to show that the forces of friction retards motion. Students investigate electricity and magnetism as universal...

Students discuss recent currents events as a class. Using one of the events, they write a poem about how they feel about the event in question. They choose specific symbols that relate to event and write a poem about it as well. They...

Second graders create rice bags using classroom objects. In this rice lesson, 2nd graders learn about how farmers grow their rice, and what hard work it is. Students learn about rice farmers all over the world and discuss the differences...

Young scholars read a NASA Web-based text, then demonstrate an understanding of the text by using it to complete an activity on the center of gravity of a commercial cargo airplane.

Young scholars meet NASA researchers who describe the relationship between force, energy and motion. They discuss how NASA's experimental X-plane is being tested to make space travel more reliable and show how proportionality and ratios...

Middle schoolers experiment using a compass for navigation and consider how various instruments affect how we travel.

Pupils use a dichotomous key to distinguish between different types of clouds

Young scholars investigate the manufacture of aluminum cans and consider the energy and resources saved when the cans are made from recycled material. They explore the concept of closed-loop recycling using charts, worksheets and...

Young scholars identify and read correctly the symbols of a Spanish train schedule. Using maps, they identify and locate major cities and landforms of Spain and practice using a twenty-four hour clock. Using the internet, they navigate...

Young scholars understand the need for carefully defining the problem before searching for a solution. They understand the need for carefully defining the problem before searching for a solution. Students compare a variety of catapults...

Learners prove angles congruent by use of vertical angles definition, subtraction postulate, and transitivity postulate.

Students explore the basic principles of the operation of the NASA's KAO telescope. They construct a simplified model of it using film canisters and other everyday objects. Step by step directions are included in plan.

Young scholars help create a story with illustrations using GarageBand, Kidspiration, Keynote, and the book Miss Nelson is Missing as a basis. This four-day project culminates with the presentation of the final product to the class.

Students compare the marine habitats of Maine and the Caribbean using temperature, tides, ocean currents, latitude and longitude. In this marine ecosystems lesson, students analyze maps to complete graphic organizers that evaluate the...

Students create landscape art using five specific techniques. In this Landscape Painting lesson, students read the biographies of famous landscape artists. Students analyze artwork to determine which techniques were successfully...

Young scholars construct a model airplane, measure distance, and calculate velocity.  In this creative instructional activity students work in groups to build a model and use it to calculate distances and velocity.

Students use a coffee cup to demonstrate weightlessness. After a lecture/demo, students read an article on free-fall. They perform a simple experiment which helps them explain the concept of weightlessness.

Students work together to discover the relationship between the angle of catapults and the flight of different objects. They discover the heavier the object the more force is needed. They examine how engineers use this information to...

Learners explore how to use maps for travel. In this map skills lesson, students read the text, With Love from Gran and discuss the places the character traveled. Learners list the names of each city and country on chart paper.

Learners examine the U.S./Canadian trade relationship. In this economics lesson, students participate in a simulation that requires them to use economies of scale to trade laterally.

Students read various novels and articles about the contributions of the Wright Brothers. Individually, they are tested on their comprehension of the material and discuss. In groups, they research the role of the people in their life...

Students read from a NASA Web-based textbook, then students demonstrate an understanding of the text by answering questions about the forces on an airplane and their resulting motions.

Students investigate 20th century inventions in order to examine how inventions reflect the historical events during which they were developed an
