Students discuss and identify the types of adaptations that are made by different organisms in order for them to survive. In groups, they describe the features of beaks and discuss how it affects their chances for survival. They share...

Students study the basic concept of solar energy. They build a working solar car. Students comprehend how solar energy can be produced via a solar panel. They examine the physics that describe how a solar panel works.

Seventh graders locate and write creatively about different places and their cultures. They identify the physical, economic, social, political and cultural characteristics of selected regions in the Eastern Hemisphere. Finally, 7th...

Students explore the concept of frames of reference in physics.

Students learn the concept of frames of reference in physics. They examine how two frames of reference, each moving with respect to the other with a constant velocity v (constant speed, constant direction).

Students integrate the concept of recycling into an aerobic activity. They incorporate the use of baskets, crates, wrist bands, vests, and bean bags, They play a remote game until all the "trash" is retrieved.

Eighth graders biew each volume container and discuss where they have seen them in their home, and how they have seen them used. They explore the different names of volume sizes and their equivalents towards one another. Students...

Students integrate the concept of recycling in to an aerobic activity. After being divided into two classes of students; recyclers and litterers, students participate in activities related to their designation. Students practice...

Students are introduced to the process of stratification. Using the internet, they read about the Richard Beene archeological site near San Antonio. Using a map, they color code the different layers present at this site and answer...

Students learn different bones of the body while using various body awareness concepts.

Students define density and explain how to determine the density of an object. Students participate in a demonstration that shows the differences in the densities of different liquids and how they affect the liquid's physical properties.

Young scholars research the lives of Native Americans living in the Northeast Woodlands region, focusing on how the climate, location, and physical surroundings affected their way of life.

Students find the different ratios of a right triangle. In this geometry lesson, students apply the concept of the Pythagorean theorem as they identify the different angles and parts of a Unit Circle. They find the ratios of sine,...

Sttudents examine populations of living things and identify variations in physical features.

Twelfth graders work in teams to design a method of recycled plastics purification by flotation. They base their design on the concept that different kinds of plastics have different densities and keep overall costs and purification time...

Learners identify basic shapes (triangle, square, rectangle, circle), create shapes with different body parts, and create shapes at various levels (high, low)

Sixth graders understand the patterns of change observable on Earth as a result of the movement of the different bodies in the solar system. They identify the physical characteristics of the different components of the solar system.

Learners explain that a low fat diet, accompanied by being physically active, help them live longer and healthier lives.

Second graders examine how their choices affect the environment. They identify different types of pollution and its source. They ask questions to end the lesson.

Sixth graders are introduced to the concepts of sound waves and frequency. As a class, they listen to the differences between different types of instruments. To end the lesson plan, they practice identifying low and high pitches and...

Students role play plate tectonics by creating a "plate statue" made up of students. In this earth science lesson, students describe how Earth's movement cause earthquakes and volcanoes. They draw and name the different layers of the Earth.

Fifth graders review the definition of mass and volume. They calculate and graph the density of various types of fruit while working in groups on a spreadsheet program. They look at how size of the fruit can be similar but the weight is...
