Students explore materials and their properties. In this matter lesson plan, students identify objects and describe their properties. Students test and sort materials using an interactive whiteboard, followed by a group discussion of...

Students determine the normal behavior of California blackworms. They determine how various concentrations of assigned toxicants affect the worm's behavior. Students are introduced to testing of potential toxicants, an important...

Students investigate questions centered around force and motion by going through the scientific process and creating fair tests and experimentation. In this lesson about forces-in-action, students diagram their findings and explore other...

Students compare and contrast the movement of objects on different surfaces, experimenting with friction and forces of motion. This friction lesson has numerous online tools including worksheets and virtual activities; the option is also...

Students identify how the pitch and the loudness of an instrument can be altered. In this online science of sound lesson, students employ the use of an interactive whiteboard to examine the loudness and pitch of a guitar, drum, and...

Students investigate the cooling and heating of water. In this online science experiment lesson, students work in groups to make predictions regarding freezing and boiling points and then test those predictions as they complete the...

Students recognize different types of movement and causes that my affect the movement. They know that pushes and pulls are types of forces.

Students investigate melting and cooling in a range of materials.

Students recognize the different types of plants and animals living in a local environment. They determine how they require different habitats to live, and relate simple life processes to plants and animals found in local environments.

Learners participate in an online lesson making and recording observations of magnets. They determine that magnets attract some metals but not others and that other materials are not attracted to magnets.

Students participate in an online instructional activity to determine how light travels from a source, and to explain that shadows form when light travelling from a source is blocked.

Students examine types of forces and movements. They identify different causes that can affect movement and speed. They create their own predictions about they believe to be the outcome of an experiment.

Learners practice sorting and classifying objects. In groups, they choose a variety of materials and describe how each one looks and feels. They must agree on how to classify each object and share their groupings with the class. They...

Students use keys to identify animals and plants in local habitats. Students are asked if they remember what the word habitat means. Students make a list of three different local habitats and brainstorm animals and plants they might...

Young scholars are introduced to several concepts about milk teeth and permanent teeth. They view photos of baby teeth, complete a worksheet that depicts their current tooth development and identify ways in which to care for permanent...

Students discuss the properties of solids and liquids. They complete a worksheet to show the boiling and melting points of several substances and consider if these factors affect how humans use materials.

Learners investigate that the sun is at the center of the solar system through role play. One student is the sun and one student is the Earth. The students then show how the Earth orbits around the sun. Learners view a flashlight and...

Students investigate the forces of pushing and pulling by participating in a whole group activity involving a toy car. Students then participate in a small group experiment involving a toy car, small weights and various materials....

Students observe the various living things they can find outside their playground making sure to look both on the ground and in the air. They develop a large poster Venn digram, as a class, of plants and animals that live in the air, on...

Students learn to understand the role of both skeletons and exoskeletons. In this lesson on exoskeletons, students locate and label bones on diagram of a human skeleton, and observe and discuss bones of chicken and fish. Students then...

Learners identify healthy foods. In this nutrition lesson, students review the five food groups and categorize healthy and unhealthy foods on a chart. Learners develop their own menus.

Students identify how the pitch and the loudness of an instrument can be altered by examining the sounds made by three instruments.

Students know that humans and some other animals have bony skeletons inside their body. They know that other animals have skeletons on the outside of their bodies. They explain the role of both kinds of skeletons.

Students explore animal diets and teeth. In this animal science lesson, students view photos of animals and their teeth. Students identify the type of diet the animal has based on the teeth. Students are introduced to the terms...
