Students explain basic components of the space shuttle stack and the chemical fuel makeup and storage used on the external tank of space shuttle. They discuss findings of Columbia mission accident. and the safety improvements that have...

Students study how animals need water, food, shelter, and space to survive. They also study what animals need to survive in the winter. They play the part of animals and winter "threats" in a game of tag to reinforce concepts.

Fourth graders study the concept of thrust and how it propels rockets into space. They discover why airplanes cannot travel into space while considering the engineering techniques use in designing rockets. They look at how space...

Learners compare and contrast the characteristics of the three different types of black holes. In this space science lesson, students research black hole's lifetime, location and evidence of existence. They present their findings to class.

Sixth graders use the internet to examine the different bodies in space. In groups, they select one project they want to complete and are given a timeline for when the sections are due. To end the lesson plan, they present their...

Young scholars practice the locomotor movements of skipping, galloping, hopping, jumping, etc. They gain practice in moving safely through general space.

Students utilize higher thinking skills to expand their self concept to include physical, cognitive, and affective frontiers. The teacher create activities which allow students to use raw data and primary sources, as well as...

Learners practice various locomotor skills and creative movement. They find their self space with a noodle and follow the teacher's lead. They create stories to go along with the activities and use their imagination. i.e. "We are...

Young scholars practice catching and throwing skills in a dynamic setting. They become familiar with the utilization of the entire open space, along with concept of "getting open."

Students practice controlling their motion and reflexes by participating in different motor skill activities.  In this physical education lesson, students utilize bean bags and hula hoops to help create flexibility and coordination...

Students, as chasers, on teachers signal, move throughout a space trying to tag others with their free hand. When a tag is made, both players stop; chaser reads question from card to student who was tagged. If answer is correct, person...

Students choose one space on a line as their personal space while other classmates are choseen to be the taggers. Individually, they move along the line staying clear of the taggers. Within a specific time limit, new taggers are chosen.

Students explore personal space at low, medium, and high levels. In this physical education activity, students participate in imaginary play imitating animals and their movement.

Students foster space awareness and cooperation skills.

Students move safely in general space to practice transferring weight skills such as a log roll, cartwheel, forward roll, egg roll, leap over, walk over, etc.

Young scholars explore performing arts by participating in a role-play activity. In this storytelling lesson, students utilize their physical expressions to particpate in a pantomime performance. Young scholars evaluate performances in...

Students play a musical movement game in order to explore self space and general space using a variety of locomotor movements.

Students learn fitness through a team game. They explore how to move into open spaces to receive passes from teammates.

Students pair up with a partner and find a good self space. They choose who "match" who first (i.e., be the "leader"). Standing next to their partner, and only looking at their shadow, each student tries to match their partner

Students create a rocket using Alka-seltzer of baking soda and vinegar. In this physics lesson, students identify the factors affecting the length of time the rocket is propelled. They relate this activity to actual rocket launched in...

Second graders discover the physical properties of magnets.  In this physics lesson, 2nd graders investigate the differences between natural and man made magnets and the uses of each.  Students complete 4 separate RAFT...

Learners participate in a simulation to practice motor skills and moving safely in the space they share with others.

Students participate in a running/concentration game on teams and learn the expectations of physical education class. This is a great first day of the year physical education lesson.

Fourth graders view slides on the SMART board of physical and behavioral adaptations of animals. In this animal adaptations lesson plan, 4th graders also view a video and match a physical adaptation with the animal it pertains to.
