Second graders investigate insects and non-insects by creating their own definitions. They complete a series of activities relating to insects.

Students work together while they use various locomotor skills to practice beginning sounds of words and the letters of the alphabet. They walk, run, skip, gallop (or any locomotor skill that the teacher requires be used) alongside the...

Students identify the different types of friction. In this physics lesson, students explain how weight affects friction. They calculate normal force and coefficient of friction using a mathematical formula.

Students examine and discuss past and current migration patterns in Canada. Using populatioon maps they complete a worksheet on migration waves.

Students conduct experiments with balloons, pennies, marbles and cups to help them understand the concept of centrifugal force or Newton's Law of Motion.

Students create a model to identify the parts of the human respiratory system. They explore the Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and its use as a breathing support strategy. Students explore reflex actions as an involuntary...

Students discover the differences between P- and S-waves using a slinky. They see that when displacement occurs along a fault, the built up strain of energy is released in the form of seismic waves.

Second graders examine how their choices affect the environment. They identify different types of pollution and its source. They ask questions to end the instructional activity.

Fourth graders participate in a simulation activity that culminates their study of the Underground Railroad. They climb on obstacles while bells rings and older students act as conductors. They work in a darkened area with only one light...

Students choose which building material to use to create their structure and which animal to house. After being read a story, they examine and identify the differnet types of homes mentioned. They take pictures of their structures...

Students compete in a biathlon of self chosen events. After reviewing the events of a biathlon and triathlon, students perform the activities of a 3,4, or 5 minute biathlon. Results are recorded by comparing the resting and performing...

Students manipulate negative and positive numbers. In this integers instructional activity, students move through three activities exploring negative and positive whole numbers. A number line, cardboard function representation, and...

Students examine how simple machine work can make work easier.  In this machines lesson students complete an activity that shows them what makes up a machine, and how to measure displacement and velocity. 

Students discuss core samples. In this environment lesson, students experiment discovering what is beneath the surface by using cupcakes as models finding out what sort of layers are found within the cupcakes.

Students work together to examine inclined planes. They create a plan to raise rocks to build pyramids. They discover the changes that occur when the angle is increased or decreased.

Students explore what is beneath the surface of the earth is one of the jobs of a geologist. Rather than digging up vast tracts of land to expose an oil field, or to find coalbearing strata, core samples can be taken.

Students search for different rhyming words.

Discover how to use proper verb tenses with context clues. Five sentences help first graders decide if they should use -ed or -ing to end simple verbs. Each sentence provides context clues to indicate the time. Use the resource in...

Students solve conflicts using the talk it out together method. They role play a given conflict using puppets. They decide on a plan to resolve the conflict together.

Magnets are a source of amazement for young learners. It seems like magic the way they can attract certain things. This worksheet gives some background on which materials can be attracted to a magnet. Then, learners must circle the words...

Fourth graders travel through a mock Underground Railroad.

Students construct their own galvanometer. In this physics lesson plan, students explain how it is used to detect electric current. They conduct an experiment to measure how much electricity flows through the circuit.

Students explore how to work cooperatively with a partner.

Students practice fitness components at the beginning of class.
