Seventh graders explore physical fitness by performing Tae Bo.  For this physical education lesson, 7th graders practice using mixed martial arts techniques by completing a Tae Bo fitness exercise in class.  Students reflect on...

Students calculate angular displacement, velocity and acceleration of gyrocopters. In this physics lesson, students compare data taken from 3 different gyrocopters. They explain how differences in construction material affect rates of...

Students investigate and apply properties of math. In this algebra and physics lesson, students define important vocabulary words to create a basic understanding of keywords. They perform experiments using concepts of electricity and math.

Students calculate the speed of string racers. For this physics lesson, students measure the time in several trials and get the average. They graph their results using a spreadsheet.

Fourth graders practice expressing themselves through the art of dance.  In this physical education lesson plan, 4th graders discuss choreography and how moving specific ways at certain times can be artistic.  Students create...

Students differentiate distance and displacement. In this physics lesson, students use formulas to calculate for displacement. They draw vectors using the grid.

Students determine the spring constant by conducting an investigation. In this physics activity, students collect data and create a graph of force vs. displacement. They compare the results of two different methods to find spring constant.

Students determine the muzzle velocity of projectile launcher. In this physics lesson, students compare the pendulum method and kinematic method in calculating the initial velocity. They analyze data and discuss results in class.

Students investigate conservation laws using a potato launcher. In this physics lesson, students measure angles, time and distance of the potato. They discuss applications of experiments like this.

Students differentiate physical and chemical change. In this chemistry instructional activity, students list examples of those changes. They apply what they learned in a Jeopardy style team game.

Third graders will gain recognition that physical relationships affect each other and that change occurs when one object acts upon another.The teacher will recognize ways in which technology can be used to enhance the understanding of...

Students identify and define several movements physically acted out. They participate in a freeze activity in which they line up performing different movements. For example, they line up (1) if they are doing a strength exercise, (2)...

Students explore a variety of traveling skills. They explain the concepts of moving over, under, around, and through objects while moving slowly, and under control.

Students research the concept of predicting the weather. The research focuses on how some weather facts intuitively make sense. Students answer key questions based upon the mathematical concept of covariance.

Students study healthy food choices and the energy it creates for physical activity. In this food energy lesson, students complete multiple activities to learn about the benefits of healthy eating upon physical activity.

Eighth graders explore the three laws of motion. In this physics lesson, 8th graders observe teacher demonstration and explain what happened in terms of Newton's Laws. They complete worksheet at the end of the lesson.

Fifth graders explore the phases of matter, make observations of matter, the physical and chemical properties of matter, solutions and mixtures, formation of molecules and atoms and molecules all through hands on activities.

Learners build their own wind turbine. In this physics lesson, students calculate the power output of their wind turbines. They evaluate their design and make the necessary modifications.

Students demonstrate man-defense concept in small group or regular sized game of basketball.

Students explore space awareness concepts in a fun and interesting way

Students are introduced to the basic traveling skills of walking, marching, galloping, and skipping while helping them to explain the concept of general space.

Young scholars, in groups, practice all of the physical activities they have learned into a track meet. They run relays and each member of the team is to participate.

Fourth graders observe changes in matter caused by the addition of heat. They participate in a physical education activity where they deal with science concepts. They have a knowledge of how particles act in water when heated.
