Young scholars make a time-lines of of decades using images from Miss America.  In this history lesson, students looks at the country's beauty pageant and how it changes the lives of women in America.  Young scholars...

Students investigate snails and their physical and behavioral characteristics.  In this investigative instructional activity students create a pie chart to show the results of their findings.

Students explore the concept of understanding the effects of disturbances in an environment.  For this life science lesson, students use the game Jenga to help capture the idea of environment disturbances.  Students discuss the...

In this decimals instructional activity, learners solve word problems containing decimal numbers and one step problems. Students complete 5 problems.

Third graders measure their feet and their parents' feet, record data on computer-generated graphs, and calculate and record mean, median, and mode.

Students examine the concept of potential energy and see that it is the ability to do work.  In this energy lesson students complete several activities on potential energy. 

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

Students define kinetic energy and know the effects of weight and speed on momentum.  In this investigative lesson plan students get into groups and design a roller coaster. 

Students build a simple wind tunnel and test out 2 glider wing shapes at different angles of attack. They record their observations and results just as engineers do. There also is a "virtual wind tunnel" they can try to test aerodynamic...

Students define potential and kinetic energy and explain the relationship of height to potential energy.  In this roller coaster lesson students construct a model of a roller coaster which will allow them to see the basic physical...

Students research selected Internet links to provide information about the characteristics and behavior of the bald eagle.

Twelfth graders find the mean, median, and modes of stacks of Lego blocks, They search in newspapers for real life applications of them. They present oral reports on what they have learned.

Students classify rocks into groups after they observe the rocks and identify properties that can be used to divide them into groups. They then identify other properties that could be used to classify other objects into groups.

Students use a balance and gram cubes to measure several different objects. They then record their results on a data chart and answer questions about them.

Pupils use different Internet websites to help get an idea of daily calorie intake and fat grams intake from a normal fast food meal.

Young scholars will make a circuit on a mystery card. They will connect wires, bulbs, and battery to form an electrical tester. After students learn how to make one following the directions, they can create their own mystery card by...

Students make a circuit on a mystery card. They then use an electrical tester to determine where electricity flows between circles on the card. They will connect wires, bulbs, and a battery to form an electrical tester.

Students test their knowledge of electrical conductors and circuits by constructing an electric tester and using it to determine where electricity flows between circles on a mystery card.

Students make observations about mealworms using hand lenses, rulers, and cotton swabs. Students complete their own mealworm observation chart, then they share their observations with the class. This is one station out of five in an...

Students measure the lengths of provided leafs to the nearest millimeter. Students identify trends in the data as well as sourced of inaccuracy and formulate additional questions that could be investigated to enhance their understanding.

Learners measure and calculate heart rates per minute and for other units of time. They determine the amount of blood pumped by their heart during various intervals of time.

Students practice using a different type of measurement each day. They complete data sheets to record their information. They practice estimating the weight of an object as well.

Students design a "container" for his/her egg to determine whether the egg remain intact when dropped from a predetermined height.

Third graders practice measuring items by examining classroom objects.  For this geometry lesson, 3rd graders utilize measuring tools to find the weight, time, length or temperature of specific classroom items.  Students...
