Students look carefully at and analyze a Dorothea Lange photograph and compare it with the migrant experience described in John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath.

Young scholars look carefully at two photographs by Dorothea Lange that relate to the universal theme of a journey. They identify parallels between Lange's photographs and two poems. They write about the theme of journey as it relates to...

Students examine ways for people to stay healthy, such as exercising and eating right.

Students participate in a demonstration and complete an online activity that illustrates the earth orbits the sun once a year, and that the moon takes approximately 28 days to orbit the earth.

Students examine pictures of different animals and decide if they eat meat and/or plants. They inspect models of pairs of upper and lower teeth and discuss which teeth are most useful for cutting grass and tearing meat.

Students compare the properties of rocks and relate these properties to their use. They perform a virtual experiment to describe and group rocks on the basis of their characteristics.

Fifth graders demonstrate the concept of perimeter and area using manipulative. In this area and perimeter lesson, 5th graders explore area and perimeter through the exploration style of teaching using eatable and non-eatable...

Fifth graders construct a food web to illustrate how animals and plants are interdependent. In this interdependence instructional activity, 5th graders identify how consumers, producers, herbivores, carnivores and predators are related...

Students experiment with solids and liquids to find which solids will dissolve in water. This dissolution and mixtures lesson can be completed online or in class as all materials are connected to the lesson plan for both settings.

Students explore materials and their properties. In this matter lesson plan, students identify objects and describe their properties. Students test and sort materials using an interactive whiteboard, followed by a group discussion of...

Students explore the ecosystem and food chain by researching Pacific Salmon. In this fish habitat lesson, students discover the life cycle for salmon, where they spawn and what they eat to survive the harsh elements. Students participate...

Young scholars experiment with light and shadow. For this light lesson, students look at the relationship between shadows and light. They experiment with light source, shadow size, transparent objects and reflective objects. 

Students explore magnets, and discover that they can both attract and repel.

Students explore Faraday's Law. In this electromagnetism lesson plan, students investigate Michael Faraday. Students discover the history of the electromagnet. Students examine the parts of an electromagnet.

Third graders experiment with magnetic force and magnetic fields. They examine how magnetic forces can act through a distance.

Learners discuss their perceptions of magnetism and explore the background ideas of magnetism.

Second graders classify objects and formulate hypotheses regarding various materials and their magnetic properties. They complete a worksheet and watch a video.

High schoolers experiment with a set of materials. They plot the magnetic field that arises from a regular bar magnet. They discover how a magnet affects a compass.

Students determine the physical properties of magnets. They analyze the size, number of poles and strength of the magnets. They make observations of what happens to magnets when they are placed next to each other.

Twelfth graders experiment with magnets in order to visualize that magnets have a north and south pole, some materials can be magnetized, and magnetization occurs because of the magnetic moments of individual molecules in matter.

Students explore the many uses of magnets. in a compass, an alarm, salvage yard equipment to lift tons of metals.

High schoolers participate in activities in which they examine magnetic domains. They analzye how different colored metals and how they react to magnets.

Second graders conduct simple experiments , observe and explain what they discovered.  In this simple experiments lesson students design a magnet and make a compass. 

Students explore the different fields of force of magnets and magnetized objects through the movement of metal filings. They use a magnet and metal filings to create a work of art.
