Students create a scaled solar system model using colorful beads. In this space science lesson, students convert AU units into metric measurements. They arrange the planets according to their distances from the sun.

Students create a scale drawing of their own homes. They use geometric formulas to find the area of each room and the total area of the home.

Students research animals to become experts on them. They design a zoo to fit their animal's climate and region. They create a computer drawing of their zoo at the end of the lesson.

In this literature book review activity, students read a nonfiction book about space or space exploration before choosing a topic to explore further. They choose from 7 activities such as designing a model, writing a letter, write about...

Young scholars estimate and measure exact. In this geometry lesson, students create different object in three-dimensional pattern. They use SketchUp to create their shape and perform measurements on their shapes.

Students design their dream gardens and work together to build a class model. They use software to create a virtual model. They only use metric measurements.

Students participate in designing a city layout using grids and coordinates. They work on a city space and create a grid on a life size layout on the gym floor.

Seventh graders analyze and identify the role of the cell membrane and nucleus. They create flash cards to help them review cell structures. They also compare plant and animal cells.

First graders explore 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson, 1st graders examine the attributes of 2 -dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes. They also create the shapes as they build models. This lesson...

Students create their own maps. In this map making lesson, students go to Microsoft Word and create a chart. They label directions, buildings, streets, and distance. 

Students make a table on the computer, but create fractions and equivalent fractions through the use of color. They are able to manipulate fractions in order to gain a greater understanding of the meaning of whole number that is broken...

How do scientists determine the best method for removing pollutants from our water sources? Environmental scholars experiment with pollution clean-up options to discover which are the most cost-effective, fastest, and most thorough....

Students tour Jupiter. For this scenario based lesson, students examine the size of Jupiter and make models of the other planets in the solar system to show how large Jupiter is compared to the other planets.

Seventh graders study the law of superposition by creating models of fossils in layers of rock. They examine how fossils are usually found in sedimentary rock which leads to the study of geologic history in those rocks.

Pupils design gargoyles modeled after the ones seen on Gothic cathedrals. They research the function and significance of gargoyles.

Students create a relief map of Asia and Australia. They work in small groups on sections of the map to make one complete map of the continents.

Fourth graders work in groups to research ocean currents and create posters with their findings. They locate the patterns and names of major ocean currents and identify them on a map. Students also use red pencil to show ocean currents...

Second graders create analogs for lava and magma in experiments.

Fifth graders examine how a red blood cell travels throughout the body. Using a model, they recreate the flow of blood through the heart. They also label the lungs and the differece between the blood that enters the heart and the blood...

Students estimate and compare temperature using degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit, and create mini temperature posters and answer questions about temperature.

Students identify the letters of the alphabet. In this letters lesson, students use an iPad to play games, draw pictures, and listen to videos about the alphabet. They use pipe cleaners to create their name.

Students investigate the concepts of force and motion. They describe how motion is created by force. Also students define a simple machine and the factors of application to creating force or motion. They analyze the plans of Leonardo De...

Seventh graders examine landforms. In this world Geography lesson, 7th graders research and create a physical model of a chosen landform. They then draw a 2-d paper map of that model.

Students create an awareness of the distance between the planets and the complexity of the solar system through a model of an active solar system. they incorporate physical education and math with the ability to convert distances of each...
