Students perform a variety of exercises pertaining to each component of fitness while working in a cooperative situation.

Students practice gaining strength by weightlifting.  In this physical education lesson, students discuss ways to safely build muscle by examining the parts of their body they will be using in the weight-room.  Students utilize...

Sixth graders research a given country using teacher selected websites. They gather notes about their country in an organized manner. They then create a PowerPoint including a reference page displaying the information they gathered.

Learners demonstrate proper space awareness by moving safely away from others in the playing area.

Students develop an understanding of the concepts of "push" and "pull" as they "save" stuffed animals from danger using LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robots. After learning more about the concepts through a robot demonstration, students explore...

This teaching guide presents 26 immigrant groups of Texas, along with activities. The groups are organized by the different types of push and pull factors that impacted on their decisions to immigrate, and a section on assimilation is...

In this activity, students will learn about push and pull forces that make things move. They will also practice using position words to describe location. To learn about forces, they will move objects, observe the movement of objects and...

Read, brainstorm, drag objects, erase to reveal answers, and move weights on a balance scale to learn about forces, mass, gravity, weight, and balance in this activity created by SMART.

This super simple activity for kindergarten-age students requires no materials and can be done inside or outside, or both and explores forces and motion.

A rich collection of highly engaging learning modules on topics related to population and settlement. Covers six main areas - population growth, population change, population migration, land use, settlement characteristics and patterns,...

Students will understand that objects move in many ways, and it takes a forces (pushing or pulling) to move them.

Students use inclined planes as they recreate the difficult task of raising a monolith of rock to build a pyramid. They compare the push and pull of different-sized blocks up an inclined plane, determine the angle of inclination, and...

An interactive tool where students can explore how a spring behaves, and how changing the elasticity, mass, push/pull force, and friction affect its motion or period. As the spring moves, its motion is shown on a distance-time graph.

Through the use of movement and observation, the learners will be able to identify objects that can be moved and identify and problem solve how to move objects. Included in this lesson are videos of the activity, a vocabulary chart, and...

An easy to do activity that investigates the basic theories of inertia. The activity is in lesson plan format that meets NSES standards.

This tutorial is to introduce students to the concept of forces. Tutorial includes activities, content and teacher notes.

Children discuss, observe, and play with equipment used in familiar sports, and then brainstorm a list of familiar sports and the equipment used in the sports. They discuss how the equipment is used, and predict how it is put into motion...

In this guided inquiry activity, students will use 2 marbles of different size and a box to investigate what makes the marbles move and what will cause the marbles to change speed and direction.

Through hands-on activities, this instructional activity will show students that a force is a push or a pull and forces cause changes in motion. Included are a minute-by-minute lesson plan, activities, and teacher discussion points and...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart describes what motion is and what causes an object to move. Streamline videos, activities, and assessment are included.

Explore the characteristics of inclined planes while observing how drops of colored water flow down a ramp and on different surfaces.
