Young scholars learn that heredity comes down to the flip of a coin with this cross-curricular math and science lesson. Using smiley faces as a model, students toss coins to determine which dominant or recessive traits...

Study corrosion on bronze statues with a hands-on lesson. As pupils place a penny in water with salt, they observe the changes in the penny throughout a period of a week. They then analyze the pre-conservation and the...

Incorporate art and poetry into an early elementary science activity about cloud formation. With fun and engaging activities that follow a natural learning progression, youngsters will develop key vocabulary and conceptual understanding...

Students examine the correct attitudes and poster for a concert. In this "Singing for Animals" lesson, students created charts to diagram information about the homeless animals they were singing for. Students used correct diction and...

Create a scaled model of our solar system in your classroom! Scholars work collaboratively to build paper mache planets and hang them in their proper position to showcase each planet's location in the solar system.   

Students participate in an experiment and learn to record it using the scientific method.  In this biodegradable plastics lesson, students follow the scientific method to complete an inquiry. Students complete an experiment with a...

Students recognize and follow the steps of the scientific method to complete an experiment.  In this scientific method lesson, students use inquiry tools to measure objects.  Students record their data.

Students explore lines of symmetry in geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson, students construct angles using mirrors and rubberbands, then predict the number of images that will appear in the reflection. Students reproduce lines of...

Young scholars design original posters that encourage good attitudes towards the environment.  In this positive environment instructional activity, students brainstorm and create a list of positive behaviors for a good environment....

Students conduct a series of experiments on water electrolysis. For this chemistry lesson, students explain what happens to the molecules during the process. They cite real world applications of electrolysis.

Students sort objects based on magnetism. In this magnetism instructional activity, students are given a variety of objects, then predict whether the object will be attracted to a magnet and test their hypothesis as they sort the...

Students create angles using mirrors. In this angle reflection lesson, students draw angles, then use mirrors to create angles using reflections and measure the new angles.

Students participate in a "Jeopardy" review game. In this review lesson, students are divided into two teams and are asked to pick a question for a specific amount of play money. The game board can be drawn on a chalkboard with a column...

Students study human population traits. In this science lesson plan, students gain an understanding of the terms dominant, recessive, haploid (monoploid), diploid, genotype, phenotype, scientific sampling, and scientific modeling as they...

Learners consider the question," Is more expensive more absorbent?" In this science lesson plan, students find out through experimentation which paper towel is the most absorbent as well as which one is the best cost value for their money.

Students investigate the different types of batteries and how they work.  In this energy lesson students experiment with batteries and see which ones last the longest.

Students discuss environmental responsibility. In this environment lesson, students create a story with the teacher with four made up characters. They have these characters do environmentally responsible and irresponsible behaviors and...

Students explore friction and use objects such as coins and marbles to study the concept.

Students research energy conservation devices. They also create their own light efficiency project and presents their findings on science fair night.
