Contains plans for a language activity called "Guess What's in the Bag." Students try to guess the object in a bag in order to develop descriptive language, listening, and problem solving skills. In addition to objectives and standards,...

A unit where students record daily temperatures, precipitation amounts, observations of weather patterns, shadow length of a set object, and other observations. In addition, they will complete a season-long weekly observation of a...

In this part of a physics lesson, examine how the actual slope value of any straight line on a velocity-time graph is the acceleration of the object.

In this lesson students will use color tiles to measure classroom objects.

This lesson in high school physics on Newton's Second Law of Motion provides a discussion of free fall and air resistance, and answers, "Why do objects which encounter air resistance ultimately reach a terminal velocity?" and "In...

Young scholars will explore the value of personal stories and first-hand accounts when exploring history, in this case, the events of the early twentieth century, which included World War I and the Great Depression. Through this...

This resource covers what primary sources are, where we can find them, and how we can assess them in the classroom.

As teachers, we play an important role in supporting children's ability in art, dramatic expression, and creative responses to problems. Creative power increases a young child's desire to learn and supports intellectual development. This...

This is part 2 of a two-part lesson plan on understanding how speed changes when two objects collide. Students will conduct an experiment, collect data, and draw conclusions about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide....
