Students study sound and how it is created.  In this sound waves lesson students complete a lab activity that shows students the variables that affect sound. 

Students build a model of a human arm and shoulder.

Fifth graders examine and practice the proper techniques for dribbling a soccer ball around four cones. They show both speed proficiency and ball control. They complete a warm up activity before becoming active in the soccer activities....

In this science experiment instructional activity, students mix borax, custard powder (pudding mix?), glue and water to make a bouncy ball. Students carry out bouncing and stretching investigations.

Students investigate sound as a form of energy. In this energy, forces, and sound lesson plan, students work in pairs to examine how sound travels through solid things as they construct a telephone exchange system using string and tin.

Students examine how to conduct simple investigations and use simple equipment to gather data.  In this magnet lesson students decide what types of objects are attracted to magnets. 

Fourth graders participate in a game reflecting the solar system, stars, and rockets. They simulate how space invaders move and hit stars and rockets. They discuss how scientists study the stars and planets.

Students experiment with the alveoli by showing how nicotine, tar and carbon dioxide can affect the lungs. They role play being nicotine, carbon dioxide, tar, alveoli and cough.

Students identify Newton's Laws of Motion. They students explore Newton's Laws of Motion and apply the second law with a classroom activity. The videos will provide visual examples of the effects of gravity while riding on a roller coaster.

High schoolers examine the range of motion of your knee, wrist and shoulder and observe that these body parts act like different types of mechanical joints.

Fifth graders understand the importance of cotton in America. In this cotton lesson, 5th graders view a video on cotton from plant to market. Students examine cotton bolls and participate in other activities around the growing of cotton.

Students determine their own walking and running velocity. In this physics lesson, students calculate velocity using distance and time information. They compare human and animal speeds.

Young scholars explore the different types of magnets and their common uses.  In this magnets lesson plan students create their own magnets. 

Students continue to study rhyming words. They use words and illustrations to help develop their vocabulary.

Students study causes, probability and location of earthquakes. They complete a number of activities and look at web pages to examine the characteristics of earthquakes.

Learners view and discuss photographic images of the Dust Bowl by Dorothea Lange. They discuss who Dorothea Lange was and why she took the pictures, the conservational factors that contributed to the Dust Bowl and migrant workers and the...

Students construct various types of paper airplanes, exploring action and reaction forces by conducting a paper airplane rodeo. Students then discuss how Newton's Third Law of Motion affected their planes.

Students explore simple machines and demonstrate thier acquired understanding by building a simple machine.

Learners read sections from the Migration Issue Brief concerning why migration happens and the economic and cultural effects of migration. They study about the immigrant population in their own community.

Students explain the concept of the "push-pull" effect. They distinguish between voluntary and involuntary immigrants and apply the concept of double consciousness to the immigrant's sense of national identity.

Students explore volume and pressure. Through an activity, students discover what happens in situations when volume is increased but no additional air is able to enter the enclosed space. Students create models and explain their...
