Send this cute activity home with kids, to increase family involvement. They'll consider what would happen if rice was bounced in a tambourine, and then they'll complete a sound activity by makings an instrument out of wax paper and a...

Young scholars practice chest and bounce passes with either basketballs or playground balls. They draw a card in order to determine which skill to practice.

Young scholars investigate the properties of force and gravity and their effects on everyday life. In groups, they test various balls by bouncing them on different surfaces and observe the properties. In another activity, they test...

Fifth graders use physical activity to help them distinguish between facts and opinions. They are broken up into pairs and students give a fact or opinion (based on the call by the teacher) when the ball is bounced to them.

Third graders observe light as a form of energy, that it can be reflected/bounced, refracted/bent and absorbed. They explore how different types of light affect our lives as a whole. Songs are researched that involve light (ex. "You...

Eighth graders participate in an experiment that emulates a sonar signal bouncing off the ocean floor. They determine how the ocean floor is measured by the length of time it takes for the sonar signal to return. They work with a wooden...

Students create a Spring bulletin board. Students color and cut out frogs and attach them to pipe cleaners. The frogs then bounce and move. Students discuss frogs and how tadpoles become frogs.

Students participate in soccer activities including juggling the ball, playing a juggling game in pairs, and having a volley game. After the volley game, they continue to practice soccer skills by playing Gaelic Football and having a...

Young scholars create a polymer to demonstrate its properties and develop an awareness of the wide variety of uses for polymers.

Young scholars play a simple game to practice the fundamentals of a bounce pass and aiming the basketball.

Teamwork is an important thing for kids to experience early in school. Cooperative games are a great way for youngsters to enjoy working and playing together. There are two nice cooperative games described in this PE lesson. Both are...

Students explore physics by experimenting with classic toys. In this physical science lesson, students utilize gliders, energy balls, bouncing balls, marbles and other toys to explore how they work. Students explore each toy at a work...

Mia teaches Sam how to create a bar graph, including forming a title, creating and labeling the axes, choosing a scale, and entering data. After viewing, data analysts can test themselves with seven follow-up questions and review...

Young scholars manipulate a ball and explore quadratic functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students analyze the graph of a quadratic function. They identify quadratic properties.

Students develop hand and ey coordination. The focus is upon handling a ball. This could be helpful for practice for sports like basketball or volleyball. This helps with repetition to develop muscle memory and visual or spatial ability.

Students discover how the coefficient of restitution is applied to sports by measuring the bounciness of a ball. After examining the mathematical equation that applies to coefficient of restitution, students go to the gym, measure the...

Students attempt to dribble the basketball in a predetermined sequence. After practicing several dribbling techniques, the game begins. This process should emulate the Jingle Bells song set music.

Third graders meet a teacher challenge to work like chemists. They investigate with baking soda, water, salt, sugar, vinegar, and sprite to move a popcorn kernel from the bottom of a cup to the top. They experiment with different...

Students differentiate reflection and refraction. In this physics instructional activity, students perform a series of experiment on light behavior. They decipher the secret message provided by teacher.

Second graders analyze the composition of different balls. In this science lesson plan, 2nd graders create their own balls using materials provided by teacher. They demonstrate what their invention can do.

Students listen to music and bounce a tennis ball to the eat. Students close their eyes and listen to the rhythm. They switch hands on beats where they hear a new percussion sound. Students compose their own pieces using Oranga's band...

Students explore the sport of handball. In this physical education lesson, students review the overhead pass and waist pass. Students also practice the bounce pass and dribbling.

Students investigate Newton's Laws of Motion and the Law of Conservation of Energy. They examine how a ball and half-ball behave and relate these laws to what happens to the ball. Students produce a graph of the data collected and...

Students practice hand-eye coordination skills by identifying proper throwing technique, and by passing, throwing, and bouncing ball to partner from distance of six feet, both while stationary and in motion.
