Eighth graders create their own experiements using toy trucks, cars or balls to measure the time it takes two of them to travel 5 meters, as well as at each 1 meter interval. They make use computers to make a time/distance graph and...

Young scholars are introduced to several traditional Japanese sports and games. Students organize an 'Undokai' - a sports day in which they compete in teams.

Learners, in pairs, choose a ball to throw back and forth between them about 9 feet apart (i.e., 3 giant steps). After making a catch both students take one giant step backwards. If a student misses a catch they move one giant step...

Students explore a visual look at the cues for each skill theme taught. They review all the cues that they discuss and practice in PE class. They examine the theme and cues and reminders of cues while working on the theme.

Explore rational numbers with the young mathematicians in your class. They will investigate decimals, fractions, and percents before ordering and comparing rational numbers. This multi-day unit includes differentiation activities and...

After reading the book Jack of All Tails, learners complete vocabulary activities, play charades, consider a list of questions, and complete a list of verbs. There are also several suggestions for how to connect this language...

Students explore parabolas.  In this algebra and technology lesson, students construct the equation of a specific parabola, then take digital photos of real-life representations of these parabolas.  Students create a podcast...

Learners investigate which objects sink and which ones float. Learners engage in an experiment, make predictions, and record results on a graphic organizer. This is a comprehensive and easy to follow resource.

What is an actual emergency situation and what should you do to prepare for it? Learners will identify a variety of emergency situations and the appropriate way to address first aid concerns to minimize injuries. They will also discover...

Students are introduced to three types of energy transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. They model the scientific process of fusion to become with the sun and how it produces energy.

Students examine the art elements of the Inca "Large Jug." In this visual art lesson, students identify the colors, pattern, and shape of the Inca "Large Jug." Students then draw a design on a flat and curved surface and discuss the...

Explore the concept of ratios, unit rates, and proportions. Learners convert fractions and percents to decimals. They discuss rates and where they can be found in the real world. A hands-on experiment and numerous flash cards and...

Young scholars compare the differences in catching four different pieces of equipment. They, in groups, practice catching the items, and discuss which one was the easiest and hardest to catch, and graph their results.

Young scholars participate in a role-play activity to lean about red and white blood cells, veins, capillaries and arteries. They also see how blood passes through the heart, lungs and out of the body, carrying oxygen and nutrients.

Third graders explore the idea of formulating a hypothesis and designing an experiment to test the hypothesis.

Young scholars explore how storm water flows through different habitats by sketching the slope of their yard, compare runoff for erosion, and create a sand castle. In this storm water lesson plan, students measure where their yard...

Second graders understand the appropriate sizes for food portions. In this food groups lesson, 2nd graders create and measure a meal using correct portion sizes and correct measurements.

Young scholars explain the four stroke process in internal combustion engines. For this physics lesson, students role play this process and present their reenactment in class. They draw and label the diagram of an internal combustion...

Students attempt to design and build the most stable "earthquke resistant" structure. They create model buildings and test them on a shake table to see which design holds up the best.

Young scholars explore the reaction rates of an enzyme-mediated reaction through experimentation. In small groups, they use everyday objects to demonstrate the effects of environmental variables on enzyme function. Students graph and...

Second graders investigate the concept of a balanced diet and how the food pyramid is organized. They conduct research using the links included in the instructional activity. They differentiate the parts of the pyramid while looking at...

Students analyze soil for types of pollen to determine the probably climate conditions. In this earth science lesson, students make conclusions on what a climate is like based on soils samples. Students use a model soil...

First graders measure weight and capacity. In this measurement activity, 1st graders explore visual examples of weight and capacity comparisons. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Students practice juggling with their choice of equipment.
