Students examine landforms. In this social studies lesson, students bounce a beach ball around in order to discover that seventy percent of the Earth is covered in water. Students

Students appreciate the fun and enjoyment from dancing with a variety of dances such as "Raise the Roof,""Bankhead Bounce," "Grapevine," and Hydrolics."

Second graders investigate how light passes through objects, is blocked, bounces off of things, and bends. They discuss how light moves in different ways, and with a partner walk around the room with a flashlight, shining the light on...

Students are introduced to the basics about zone defense in basketball. In groups, they practice this technique to turn away from gravitating to the ball handler. They also complete non-bounce passes and examine how to move without a...

In this drawing curved lines worksheet, students follow the balls bouncing across the page by tracing the 3 curved lines from left to right.

Ninth graders explore physics with springs and strings. In this force and motion instructional activity, 9th graders rotate through four stations exploring how various springs stretch and bounce, and how mass and length affect a...

With the help from an interactive timeline, scholars discover the time and order in which inventions came to be—popular items from eyeglasses to the compact disc. 

Ever wondered what motivates a roundworm? Introduce your biology class to C. elegans, a non-parasitic model organism that can help them understand behavioral stimuli. Paired pupils design an experiment to test the worm's reaction to...

Mortgage, insurance, car payments...how much money will your learners need to support their desired lifestyle? Part three in a six-part college and career readiness lesson plan series tasks young job seekers with creating a monthly...

Learners examine how satellite signals are sent and duplicate it with a mirror, flashlight and black paper.

Students practice volleyball skills using a balloon to volley with a two-handed underhand pattern while keeping the balloon in their self-space.

Students brainstorm and explore the five values of life: truth, love, peace, right conduct and non-violence. They bounce ideas off each other to assess more of a knowledge of each value. In addition, they write their reflections of each...

Eighth graders participate in different activities that reinforce Newton's Laws. Activity begins with question/answer session about Newton's first and second laws. Students then try to bounce kick ball off of a wall to get it to given...

Eleventh graders examine World Religions within this lesson plan. They can choose which assignments to complete depending on the grade they want to receive. There are no objectives to bounce off of when you view this lesson plan.

Students experiment with point graphs. In this math lesson plan, students are divided into groups and perform an experiment to see how high a ball bounces, recording their results on a point graph. Students then answer provided questions.

Students predict the shape of an unknown object by bouncing a ball on it. For this physics lesson, students relate this activity to how dolphins use echo-location to navigate. They analyze their lab result and discuss findings.

Young scholars examine light waves and see how they travel. They explain that light moves in waves, which can bounce off of or go through materials. They use a flashlight to shine on a variety of objects.

Students experiment with the bounce of balls on various surfaces. In this physics lesson, students use various surfaces to bounce balls to study the momentum. This hands-on activity with the concepts of elasticity of surfaces which is...

Young scholars predict the path of a ball bouncing off an object. In this physics activity, students conduct the rolling ball experiment to test their prediction. They perform several trials for accuracy.

Students get a bounce ball and find a Polyspot. On the teacher's signal, students underhand throw to a target. They keep their own score: one point each time they hit a target.

Students investigate variables that influence the bouncing of balls.  In this exploratory lesson students observe how the manipulated and control variable are correlated by graphing the data.
