First graders, in groups, tell time to the hour.

Students study the fractional values of Cuisenaire rods while working with favorite family recipes.

Students identify the different types of coins. They practice buying objects in the classroom with their coins. They must use different combinations of coins in all situations.

Learners investigate how weather affects how plants grow. They collect data on weather and plant growth for a week and display the data on a graph. For a culminating experience they design a movie using software that shows plant growth...

Third graders examine what makes soil by creating a Venn Diagram.  In this Earth environment lesson, 3rd graders identify the different components that soil is made from. Students bring soil from their homes to examine and create a...

Young scholars experiment with the concept of Newton's second law of motion. After building a ramp, they determine whether a large marble or a small marble will move farther, based on Newton's law. Students record their data on the...

In this word search worksheet, students locate words related to the metric system. The word list includes length, scale, and quantity.

Students create paper bridges. In this geometry and architecture lesson plan, groups use legal paper and paper clips to design a bridge that will hold 100 pennies. Links to mini-lessons exploring stability of different geometric figures...

In this weather worksheet, students view a weekly forecast for Bradford, United Kingdom and answer short answer questions about it. Students complete 7 questions.

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 SAT Practice Test, students solve a variety of problems that range from solving for a variable, rate, probability, and area.

Students use Geometers SketchPad to find the area and perimeter of several shapes. For this geometry lesson, students determine area of rectangles and progress through irregular polygons. None of the referenced worksheets are included...

Two activities employ the use of kinematic equations for determining projectile ranges. They both require the use of a toy dart gun. Included in this resource are both the teacher's guide and student laboratory sheets. This is an...

Students design and build a balance using LEGO, string, and a set of standard metric weights.

Students construct a bridge that can hold 100 pennies. In this math lesson, students evaluate the strength of their bridges. They predict how much weight a bridge can hold based on its design.

Students observe falling objects. They discover the rate of falling is based on air resistance and not the weight of the objects. They discuss how engineers use this type of information to design aerodynamic shapes.

Learners estimate and accurately measure the size of angles communicate with the appropriate geometric terms and symbols to describe and name angles, lines, line segments, rays

Eighth graders explain how oxygen reacts to other elements. They also explain why oxygen is a reactive substance, how it has weight, and how it reacts with other substances. They construct an experiment to relate their findings.

Students collect and analyze data about wind speed. They build a Lego wind sail and measure the wind speed with a rotation sensor. They use software to analyze the data.

Students use the worksheet from the first website listed below to collect data on the penguin heights on the Penguin Page.

In this math worksheet, students look for the words in the puzzle that are related to the theme of the word search. The vocabulary and spelling are emphasized.

Fourth graders practice estimating temperatures. They practice in Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Fifth graders use the Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers to compare temperature readings. They use the Internet to find the temperatures of selected cities. After data is collected for five days, 5th graders graph the temperatures.

Fifth graders describe patterns as relations and functions. In this patterning lesson, 5th graders analyze and continue patterns. Students understand how patterns relate to relations and functions.
