Students come up with ideas to help friendly, superintelligent space aliens adapt to this environment.

Young scholars are encouraged to do their best on the mile run portion of the fitness test. They also gain knowledge about fitness in other academic areas of the school too. In science, the class records resting pulse rates, in math,...

Young scholars observe a demonstration on how we see space between water molecules.  In this experimental lesson plan students discover what elements make up the things around them and discuss what they learned. 

Pupils examine through role play interdependence of animal and man in their search for the proper arrangement of food, water, shelter and space in the same regions. Students then discuss necessary components of suitable habitat.

First graders investigate the five outer planets. In this space science lesson, 1st graders read the book Our Solar System and identify the five outer planets. Students create a booklet and write about outer planets.

Students explore the physical properties of water.  In this water lesson, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state. There are 2 extensions for this lesson that one can access via the Internet links provided.

Students review and practice soccer dribbling/ball handling skills while studying basic concepts of how free radicals and antioxidants affect the body. As the molecules move throughout the space with their electron, the free radicals...

Learners analyze the movements they can do with their bones, muscles and joints. They explore, have discovery and review knowledge of movement. Students are asked to find their personal space.

Students engage in an activity in order to review the skeletal system. They play a game composed of two teams to be played in an open area. Students pick out bones from a bag and place them in the correct space for the skeleton.

Students complete experiments to learn about their internal body clocks and physiological activities. In this internal body science lesson, students read "Body Clock Investigations" and complete a body temperature investigation.

Students explore their weight on other planets. In this science lesson, students view a presentation about the other planets and complete a worksheet in which they make predictions about their weight on the moon and other planets.

Students construct an interferometer using a simple telescope. In this physics lesson, students explain how light waves create the fringe patterns. They observe patterns made by different objects in the sky and compare them.

Students recognize various California native species by their physical appearances and characteristics. They recognize the adaptations that plants make to their surroundings and how humans make use of plants.
