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

Students recognize that sound is produced by the vibration of materials. They see that the sound produced is dependent on the type of material that is used. Given four types of material; air, string, wood, and metal, students perform an...

Young scholars explore the senses. In this Applied Science lesson, students investigate the items in "feely" boxes with their hands, both touching the items and shaking the boxes to hear the sound the items make. Young scholars also...

Young scholars explore hurricanes and tornadoes by conducting an experiment. In this weather pattern lesson, students define many extreme weather vocabulary terms and discuss the relationship with static electricity. Young scholars...

In this music activity, 11th graders incorporate fractions into their music scales and counting scales. They listen to the music being played and relate it to sine waves reviewing the trig function. There are 11 questions involving sine...

Students study the basic skills of algebraic manipulations. They practice the application of basic mathematics in science and determine the nature of good acoustics. They develop proposals for providing good acoustics and identify...

Young scholars discover patterns in language, math and science. They experience patterns by hearing stories, and becoming pattern detectives.

Learners conduct an experiment. For this lightning and thunder lesson, students learn how to figure out how far away a thunderstorm is.

Students repeat patterns while listening to music. In this patterning lesson, students listen to a pattern on a tape of music and reproduce it by clapping or stamping their feet. They listen to stories about famous composers.

Young scholars investigate the supposed traveling path of a meteorite. They use sound in order to triangulate the path. The results of the experiment are written on a map to display the path of the meteorite. The culminating activity is...

Students create auditory musical patterns. In this patterns lesson, students create a pattern using their hands, feet, dancing, and snapping their fingers.  Students use a recorder to recreate a pattern.

Students use scientific tools. In this Applied Science activity, students investigate the use of scientific tools to enhance observation and discovery. Students indicate how each tool assists scientific work.

Students use comparisons, graphing, patterning, and sorting, and develop language skills as they explore the five senses.
