Character Building from Inside Out
Students determine how a stop animation movie is created. They compare the similarities of a stop animation movie to a flip book and construct a flip book showing fluid motion. They examine the different theories about why when a series...
Curated OER
Hang Time
Students simulate the motion of a fly ball with different winds. They use a partner to provide the simulated wind. Students draw a baseball diamond and the field on a piece of paper. They drag the pen across the paper to show the path of...
Curated OER
Weightlessness
Students compare and contrast the terms "weight" and "mass". In this physics lesson, students observe an experiment in which objects are placed on a balance scale and weighed under different circumstances. Partners drop items and observe...
Curated OER
Airplanes
Fourth graders experiment with gravity and lift by building paper airplanes. In this physics lesson, 4th graders compare the falling rate of a crumpled vs. flat sheet of paper. Then after class discussion and demonstration of Bernoulli's...
Curated OER
Superball Physics
Eighth graders bounce superballs and measure to see if they can hit the same spot over and over. In this superball lesson plan, 8th graders calculate the weight of the ball with the force of the throw to try and hit the same spot with...
Curated OER
Marble Run
Students use marbles to conduct experiments on movement of objects and explore Newton's three laws of motion. In this motion lesson plan, students use marbles, tubing, foam, paper cups, and more.
Curated OER
"Go-Car" Lab
Students construct a car based on directions given. For this physics lesson, students calculate average speed using distance and time information. They collect data and create a graph of distance vs. time.
Curated OER
Rain
Students are introduced to the Native American game called "Rain" and develop cooperative learning skills. In this Native American game lesson, students sit in a circle and discuss how games reflect the environment the children live in...
Curated OER
Sound
Learners explore sound wave motion and conduct simple experiments to demonstrate how sound travels.
Curated OER
Fit Kid
Students practice and perform the song "Fit Kid" while learning the basics of motion and music and dynamics in this elementary-level lesson for the General Music classroom. The lesson emphasizes proper exercise and diet for a healthy life.
Curated OER
Parachute
Students participate in an instant activity as they enter the gym. They work with a parachute, moving it using different motions. They use their wrists, to move the parachute while moving in a circle, and play a game of Cat and Mouse...
Curated OER
Compass Rose: Dance and Quilt
Fourth graders identify the cardinal directions by listening to a song entitled, "Stand," and by reviewing the lyrics to that song. They notice the cardinal directions that are posted around the classroom. They perform the motions as...
Curated OER
Emotional Speed with Balls and Ramps
Fifth graders investigate the relationship between mass and speed. In this physics lesson, 5th graders experiment with motion by being given a ramp, two balls, and blocks or books for elevation. Students determine how different variables...
Curated OER
Team Handball Lesson #3
Pupils practice hand-eye coordination skills by identifying proper throwing technique, and by passing, throwing, and bouncing ball to partner from distance of six feet, both while stationary and in motion.
Curated OER
Hopping Across the Solar System
Young scholars role-play and communicate that objects in space have describable properties, locations, and movements. Students identify and communicate effectively that Earth is the third planet from the Sun in the solar system, eight...
Curated OER
Alligator
Young scholars perform musical routines with lummi sticks and motions. As they hit the sticks together in time to the music, students move the sticks over their head, sit on their knees, lay on their tummy, on their side, and on their...
Curated OER
Baseball Activity: Bouncing Balls
Students explore the concept of motion. In this hands-on physics instructional activity, students examine how the construction of baseballs and the temperature they are stored at affect their bounce.
Curated OER
Happy Food Song
Students learn a song. For this food lesson, students learn the Happy Food Song. Students are given a food model and identify their food. Students sing the song with motions.
Curated OER
Finite State Machines
Students observe the programming of a computer. For this technology lesson, students analyze the finite state machine and observe it in motion. This assignment requires the teacher to be specific with the students and the assignment.
Curated OER
The Groundhog Came Out of His Hole
Young scholars sing the song "The Groundhog Came Out of His Hole". In this music lesson, students sing a song and come up with matching hand motions. They use the same tune to make their own song.
Curated OER
Once I Was a Baby Trout
Students sing a song about the trout life cycle. In this trout life cycle lesson plan, students learn trout vocabulary and make motions while singing this song.
Curated OER
Spanish: La Fiesta!
Students sing a Spanish song to celebrate Latin American culture. In this fiesta lesson, students sing the words and do hand motions to the song "Que Linda Manito." They create paper bag maracas and enjoy a fiesta.
