Students review superlatives and comparatives. Groups of students draw pictures and then line up according to the size of the object they drew. They discuss who has the "biggest" and who has the "smallest" times. Students compare...

Students investigate various materials and substances. In this chemistry lesson, students use various materials in their classroom to determine the substances they  made to complete the chemistry chart.

Middle schoolers evaluate visual arts by creating furniture designs. In this three dimensional art lesson plan, students utilize the web to examine different artist renderings of furniture, sculpture and architecture. Middle schoolers...

Third graders identify the rhythms and movements found in different works of art. For this visual arts lesson, 3rd graders view samples of art work and use hand gestures to demonstrate the movement of the image. Students pick one art...

Pupils observe bird nests. In this observation level, students explore bird nests using their five senses. Pupils compare and contrast bird nests while hypothesizing about the need birds have to construct the nest.

Students assign numbers to describe objects. In this number lesson plan, students assign numbers to objects and compare more, less, and equal values. They write down descriptions of plants including the number of leaves and height of the...

Second graders practice adding numbers that add up to less than 100. In this addition instructional activity, 2nd graders use candy to practice adding after participating in a demonstration instructional activity. They complete a...

Students investigate the scientific concept of why some objects float when put in a liquid solution. They apply the laws of motion and force while conducting classroom activities. Students also take notes and answer target questions to...

Students explore performing arts by participating in a role-play activity. In this storytelling lesson, students utilize their physical expressions to particpate in a pantomime performance. Students evaluate performances in their class...

Learners identify how tall a tree is. In this measurement lesson, students use "luminometers" to measure a tree and complete a data sheet.

Students explore temperature and use Celcius thermometers to measure and graph the temperature in the classroom daily. They estimate what they think the temperature might be and then find the actual temperature in the room.

Learners explore organization by participating in an object sorting activity. In this indexing lesson, students examine their classroom and identify materials that should be organized in order to make the room more efficient. Learners...

Students act as paleontologists to discover who a mystery guest to the classroom was. They do not know the identity of the guest but infer the identity from items left behind in the classroom. They make inferences from dinosaur fossils.

Students investigate the concept of reflectons. They investigate how an image has a reflection that is symmetrical. They also choose household objects in order to have real life application for finding lines of symmetry.

In this math learning exercise, students learn to measure common classroom objects or body parts using a standard inches ruler and a centimeter ruler. Students measure 21 objects in both ways.
