First graders play a variety of learning games to reinforce addition and subtraction skills.

Students participate in a number of activities to learn how to adjust general ledger accounts and journal closing entries.

Young scholars drop water from different heights to demonstrate the conversion of water's potential energy to kinetic energy. They see how varying the height from which water is dropped affects the splash size. In seeing how falling...

Students review the terms in the "Money Vocabulary Word Bank." They make a wallet or purse to keep their money in. Students learn the song "Show Me the Money." They participate in five centers: 1) Head or Tails Tally, 2) Piggy Bank...

First graders recognize various occupations and their roles in the community. In this communities lesson, 1st graders read the story I Stink and view a Powerpoint presentation of "Community Helpers." Students create a costume to...

Learners simulate different spacecraft missions using materials provided. In this space science lesson, students observe and record a planetary model's features from a distance. They relate this activity to scientists' space exploration...

Food and Science200128-Standard 20.0128-01 Students will learn the meaning of food science and management for the classroom and laboratory.

Students discuss Newton's laws of motion. The conduct motion experiments by building "Newton Rocket Cars" from assorted materials. They propel the cars with rubber bands and wooden blocks and record the distance traveled on data sheets.

Second graders construct compound words on the playground or gym. They are given the opportunity to be actively involved in the learning process.

Learners investigate systems of equations as they use the Ti-Navigator to explore scenarios about dog races and NASCAR races. Pupils determine the winner of the race and when opponents pass each other given a speed and distance.

Young scholars learn that sound waves can be directed and collected. In this sound wave experiment, students create and collect sound waves. Young scholars learn sound waves travel differently through different states of matter.

For this topographic map worksheet, young scholars learn how to read a topographic map and create a topographic map of their own using clay or Play-Doh. Students include contour lines by layering the clay. Young scholars answer 6...
