Students listen to music and bounce a tennis ball to the eat. Students close their eyes and listen to the rhythm. They switch hands on beats where they hear a new percussion sound. Students compose their own pieces using Oranga's band...

Students in the first and second grade classroom takes home the D.A.D. bag. They look inside the bag and there is equipment designed for use with other family members. Students look inside a first grade bag and it contains short jump...

Third graders use eye-hand and feet-hand coordination to perform the tennis forehand.

Eighth graders bounce superballs and measure to see if they can hit the same spot over and over. In this superball lesson plan, 8th graders calculate the weight of the ball with the force of the throw to try and hit the same spot with...

Learners perform a number of different ball tossing and catching skills while completing a self-assessment sheet.

Students predict the path of a ball bouncing off an object. In this physics lesson plan, students conduct the rolling ball experiment to test their prediction. They perform several trials for accuracy.

The lights don't always go out when the switch is flipped. The 10th lesson in a series of 14 helps learners build a conceptual understanding of the flow of electricity through a parallel circuit. They then build their own parallel...

Fourth graders see how, when balls are dropped from the same height, mass and size affects the motion of the balls.

Pupils make observations of a bouncing ball and study how it travels.  In this height lesson students complete a lab activity and describe and explain the motion of the ball. 

Students study the heart and the circulatory system. They practice taking their pulse. They create a model of blood cells and squeeze tennis balls to demonstrate just how hard the heart muscle works.

Students investigate circular motion in two different activities. In the first, students observe the path of a rolling marble on a paper plate. In the second, students play a game of catch using a tennis ball inside a plastic bag. ...

Students are told that any object moving through a fluid (air, water, molasses, etc) experience a drag force which oppose the motion. They are given the summarized version of drag which is proportional to the square of the velocity....

Students study how to calculate momentum, kinetic, and potential energy. They apply each form of energy to real world situations including demonstrations, watching videos, and designing a Power Point presentation. They investigate in...

Learners volley a soccer ball in a dynamic environment in teams of 3-6 players.

Students practice an overhand serve in both the deuce and the ad courts. They focus on having the proper grip, cues such as having a stiff wrist, and practicing a follow through.

Students study the Conservation of Momentum.  In this momentum instructional activity students use the Conservation of Momentum to determine the velocity of a tennis ball as it comes out of a cannon. 

Students identify time signatures, the down beat, and begin to understand conducting patterns. In this meter patterns lesson, students identify the signs for 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4 and play an excerpt from a song. Students use tennis balls to...

Fourth graders bring in a playgound item, i.e.: ball, jump rope, skateboard and develop a physical activity to go with the item. They describe in writing how to do the activity. They set up their stations on a "Game Day" and lead their...

Students participate in a Harry Potter Field Day. In four groups, with each group representing one of the houses of Hogwarts, they fly brooms around cones, play Quidditch, create "Polyjuice Potion," use their "wands" to play tennis, and...

Young scholars investigate the properties of force and gravity and their effects on everyday life. In groups, they test various balls by bouncing them on different surfaces and observe the properties. In another activity, they test...

Students calculate the height of a tree or flagpole. They measure the shadow of the tree or flagpole and the length of a shadow of a meterstick. Using similar triangles, calculate the heigh. Devise two additional ways in which to measure...

Third graders differentiate between vertebrates and invertebrates, and identify the main characteristics of mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and birds. They sort and categorize different types of balls, discuss the characteristics...

Fifth graders use physical activity to help them distinguish between facts and opinions. They are broken up into pairs and students give a fact or opinion (based on the call by the teacher) when the ball is bounced to them.

Students explore the names and qualities about members in the group. They each say their name and something about themselves. Students gather around in a circle. They listen to the teacher as he or she says the name of someone and throws...
