Third graders measure the speed of sound using scientific investigative techniques.

Pupils designs and conduct a scientific experiment that identifies the problem, distinguishes manipulated, responding and controlled variables, collects, analyzes and communicates data, and makes valid inferences and conclusions.

Combine science and reading skills with a reading comprehension exercise. Kids read four paragraphs about energy conversion and answer some reading comprehension questions about the information they have read.

Give your young scholars a chance to show what they've learned from the module. The last installment of a 21-part series is an end-of-module assessment task. It covers basic and conditional probabilities, expected value, and...

Students use the scientific method to conduct an experiment to test how a ball bounces. In this inquiry-based physical science and scientific method lesson, students drop a ball from specified heights and record the rebound, then record...

Students list three examples of momentum found in their local environment; describe the importance of mass and velocity on momentum; and determine what is necessary to produce the greatest amount of momentum within a particular system.

Students learn along with Ms. Frizzle's class. In this Magic School Bus lesson plan, students spin separate colors into a new color just as the Magic School Bus kids did.

Learners investigate refraction and reflection of light. In this light lesson, students perform 3 activities to observe light interacting with matter by using a flashlight. They explore refraction using a glass of water and reflection...

Day 3 of the speedball unit covers the drop kick. Teach these youngsters the art of performing a drop kick with a soccer ball. Remember the ball needs to hit the ground and bounce to be a drop kick. If the ball doesn't hit the ground...

Elementary school physical scientists explore kinetic mechanical energy by dropping a golf ball on different surfaces. They discuss how human made materials might react to light differently from nature made materials. This lesson plan...

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.

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.

Studying function means more than simply learning a formula. Learners must use functions to think through four problems and find solutions. Each task utilizes a different concept from a study of functions. Class members might...

Real-life mathematics is not as simple as repeating a set of steps; pupils must mentally go through a process to come to their conclusions. Teach learners to read, analyze, and create a plan for solving a problem situation. The...

Sometimes, getting started is the hardest part; but that is not the case with this poetry worksheet that asks scholars to read through a list of rhyming pars, choose three, and use them to write a couplet poem. 

Students practice skills needed during a basketball game.  In this basketball lesson, students experiment with dribbling and passing the ball to another player.  Students practice weaving through the court.

Twelfth graders complete a unit of lessons on derivatives as they are applied to motion. They observe and discuss demonstrations, conduct an experiment involving a motion sensor, graph and analyze the results, and summarize their findings.

Third graders recognize the bones that make up the human body. They become more aware of the human body. Students experiment with this concept with a variety of items. They also work on this concept with dribbling a ball.

In this tracing arches across the page worksheet, students trace the bouncing lines from the balls on the left to the arrows on the right side of the page. Students trace 3 lines.

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...

Pupils make observations of a bouncing ball and study how it travels.  In this height lesson students complete a lab activity and describe and explain the motion of the ball. 

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 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...

Fourth graders see how, when balls are dropped from the same height, mass and size affects the motion of the balls.
