Students explore things that are their size, literally. In this early childhood lesson plan, students use their bodies for measuring and comparing sizes as they work in pairs to complete the activity.

Students examine and compare traits of humans and crocodiles.  In this crocodile lesson students use a ratio to estimate the height of a person and compare that to a crocodile. 

Pupils engage in a lesson to measure body parts. They use the measuring tape to record the data of body measurements. Students must choose the appropriate unit of measurement and compare the data for the different parts of the human body.

Young scholars explore and compare abstraction of human forms in various ancient cultures and by creating self-portraits using geometric shapes. They identify which geometric shapes form the following features: face, nose, arms, torso,...

Students name the vessels and parts of the heart. They trace the path of blood through the heart. Students examine the function of the circulatory system. They recognize the differences between a hear when the body is at rest opposed to...

Students find examples of the Golden Ratio on the human body through measurement. Additionally, students learn about the use of the Golden Ratio and the Golden Rectangle in art and architecture. A very interesting lesson for the students!

Students draw a model of the bunny problem which generates the Fibonacci Sequence, spirals generated from golden rectangles and golden triangles; identify the golden ratio in the human body, and find the Fibonacci numbers in nature.

Learners explore Boyle's Law. In this Boyle's Law lesson, students complete problems involving Boyle's Law. They examine the effects of Boyle's Law upon the human body. Learners use the Internet to complete a lab activity.

Build an interest and appreciation for architecture in your young learners with this fun 10-lesson art unit. Engaging children in using their five senses, the class first observes the environment around them, paying...

Students explain the cause of and effects of fluid shift in a microgravity environment. Students identify the effects of microgravity during long duration space flight. Students describe research on cardiovascular effects in microgravity...

Sixth graders explore agriculture by examining world geography. In this pecan cultivation lesson, 6th graders identify the history of the famous nut and the impact it has on the U.S. economy, diet and human body. Students define...

Students measure different parts of the human body. In this measurement lesson, students work in pairs to take measurements of human measurements which include: arm span, height, foot length, and wrist to longest finger. They also...

Fifth graders read an informative paragraph about how blood travels through our bodies. Then, they fill in the missing letters for words that label things in the circulatory system. An answer key is provided on page two. An interesting,...

Students explore proportions which are typical of the human body. Given a list of classic proportions from earlier centuries, students work in pairs to test the validity of the proportions. Pupils share their personal measurements. ...

Students investigate the dangers of radiation by exploring recent nuclear tragedies.  In this scientific debate lesson, students define the idea of radiation "half life" and determine if low doses of radiation are truly damaging to...

Students work cooperatively as a team and accurately throw a Frisbee. In addition, students explore fitness components and different systems of the human body.

Second graders participate in a review of how to use rulers and yard sticks while collecting measurement information. They measure assigned body parts and chart the data on collection sheets. They make a spreadsheet with the information...

Fourth graders explore geometric properties and relationships in a two-dimensional work of art. They first search for and identify polygons in a Cubist painting and then use polygons to create their own Cubist portrait of a classmate.

Students measure the size of an epithelial cell and to estimate the number of epithelial cells in a given area of the body. After watching a video on cells, student groups perform an experiment using a microscope to view some of their...

Young scholars compare different types of numbers. Each student is given a flashcard containing a decimal, percent, fraction or integer. Teams of students compete, in silence, to determine who can line up in numerical order correctly. ...

Fourth graders measure the height and arm span of various classmates. They use a spreadsheet to design a graph that shows the class measurements from tallest to shortest in metric and standard systems.

Have your class practice measuring the perimeter of various objects using this resource. Fifth graders place various-sized polygons in order (from largest to smallest). They use non-standard measuring tools to estimate the distance...

Students select appropriate tools and technology to perform tests, collect data, and display data. They construct appropriate graphs from data and develop qualitative statements about the relationships between variables.

Students map and calculate the area of the school parking lot and then the volume of water falling on the school parking lot. They map the route surface runoff will take to the nearest water body and describe the roles that human...
