This lesson will help young students understand the shape and movement of bubbles. Students will predict, practice, and record results as they blow bubbles with different-shaped objects.

Students often classify objects by size and shape. Now they will look more at the properties of objects such as hardness, flexibility, and texture. Included in this lesson are examples of student's science journal entries, a video of the...

Learners will become familiar with transparent, translucent, and opaque objects. Students predict whether items are transparent, translucent, or opaque. Finally, learners will show what they have learned by producing a song, poem, cheer,...
