Design a Parachute
Middle schoolers engage in a discussion about what a parachute is and how it works. They create a parachute using different materials that they think will work best. The students test their designs, which will be followed by a class...
Curated OER
Rocket Car
Learners construct a balloon-powered rocket car from a Styrofoam tray, pins, tape, and a flexible straw, and test it along a measured track on the floor. They experiment with ways of increasing the distance the rocket car travels.
Curated OER
Walking Home II
Students explore the relationship between distance and time. They analyze a situation involving distance traveled in a given period of time, represent the situation graphically and algebraically, and discuss the concept of slope as a...
Curated OER
Rhythm In Motion
Sixth graders work independently and with a partner to demonstrate proficiency of steady beat, meter and basic note values while creating written rhythmic patterns for class performance. State and National Standards are addressed.
Curated OER
Balloon Rocket Race Track
Students discuss "How can we measure (or make it easier to record) the speed, distance or acceleration of the balloon?" They told that they are going to make a balloon racetrack. Pupils use meter sticks to accurately measure length and...
Curated OER
Force And Motion With Cars
Students discover that different things move at different speeds. They compare the distance a car travels on a ramp with and without a push. They
push the car with one finger the first time, let it move without a
push the next time (no...
Curated OER
Poetry In Motion
Fourth graders read and analyze poetry and examine the process of writing poetry. They read and analyze the poem "From a Railway Carriage" by Robert Louis Stevenson, and answer comprehension questions. They identify the similes,...
Curated OER
Pedestrian Safety
Students study velocity and how to cross streets safely. They identify the ten most common causes of childhood trauma, watch movies on pedestrian safety and use the Internet to research the issue of pedestrian safety
Curated OER
Poetry in Motion
In this poetry analysis worksheet, students analyze "From a Railway Carriage" by Robert Louis Stevenson. Students answer 5 questions about the poem.
Curated OER
The Magic School Bus Plays Ball
Students learn along with Ms. Frizzle's class. In this Magic School Bus lesson plan, students work in small groups to find how movement changes when there is more - and less - friction.
Curated OER
The Magic School Bus Taking Flight
Young scholars learn along with Ms. Frizzle's class. In this Magic School Bus lesson plan, students see how gliders coast by exploring the way different paper objects fall to the ground.
Curated OER
Simple Machines
Students explore the concepts of force and effort by observing simple machines. For this physics lesson, students attempt to sharpen a pencil without any help, bite into an orange with their lips curled over their teeth, and other...
Curated OER
Graphing of Time and Distance
In this graphing time and distance worksheet, students graph data of a two race cars as they drive over time. Students plot the time vs. the distance for both cars and answer questions about the data. They determine the speed of the cars...
Curated OER
Wind Power
Students explore wind energy. In this wind power lesson, students create models of wind turbines and experiment with changes that will help efficiency. Students watch a video on wind power and discuss. Students work in groups to create...
