Young scholars create a subsistence calendar for seasonal activities in their community. In this seasonal activities lesson plan, students research the four seasons in their community and write down the activities to do in that season.

Students build a thermometer. In this weather lesson, students use red food coloring, rubber stoppers, and hard plastic tubing to build a thermometer. Students use their homemade thermometer to measure the temperature.

Students identify the wind direction. In this weather activity, students use a weather vane to find the wind direction. Students complete a worksheet.

Young scholars investigate wind speed. In this wind instrument lesson, students build an anemometer to measure wind speed and discuss the importance of wind speed knowledge in various professions. 

Learners build an anemometer and measure wind speed. In this wind speed lesson, students build an anemometer using the student instruction sheet. Learners visit the Alaska windspeed website and look up the wind speed forecast. Students...

Students explore the concept of sea ice. In this sea ice lesson, students interview arctic hunters to regarding the sea ice safety and attributes.

Learners study the path and forms of water through Earth. In this water cycle lesson, students role-play water as it moves throughout the Earth. Learners play the water cycle game and complete various stations to learn about water forms...

Students study satellites and satellite images using Google Earth. In this satellite lesson, students discuss satellites and how they work. Students watch a demonstration of how satellites work and learn what they are used for. Students...

Learners examine and research the human digestive system and what happens to the food we eat. They read the article, The Passage of Food, participate in an experiment with crackers, and write a paragraph summarizing the function of the...

Students examine and research the organs of the respiratory system. They participate in a vocabulary card matching game, create a graphic organizer, and participate in an experiment titled, Floating on Air.

Fourth graders explore the bones, joints, and other attributes of the skeletal system.

Fourth graders explore the kidney, bladder, and function of the excretory (urinary) system.

Fourth graders investigate the nervous system and how it communicates messages to and from the brain.

High schoolers research and analyze the causes and sources of Canada's extreme weather conditions. They conduct an experiment, complete a worksheet and predict the most likely locations for extreme weather conditions.

Fifth graders watch as the teacher projects a series of pictures on the wall showing bird tracks heading toward each other but not meeting, two tracks converging into one, and two tracks converging and then being scuffed up. They write...

Students describe several types of bird feet and explain how each type helps a bird survive in its habitat. Students then match birds to their feet and mold bird feet out of clay.

Students study about the different parts of their body and the names of bones as well. They gain an understanding of the function about the parts. Students follow along as the teacher guides them and points out various parts and their...

Students examine the differences between elements, compounds and mixtures. Using diagrams, they compare and contrast atoms and molecules and describe various chemical reactions. They distinguish the differences between ionic and...
