Curated OER
Health and growth
Students examine ways for people to stay healthy, such as exercising and eating right.
Curated OER
Teeth and Eating
Students examine pictures of different animals and decide if they eat meat and/or plants. They inspect models of pairs of upper and lower teeth and discuss which teeth are most useful for cutting grass and tearing meat.
Curated OER
Interdependence and Adaptation
Fifth graders construct a food web to illustrate how animals and plants are interdependent. In this interdependence lesson plan, 5th graders identify how consumers, producers, herbivores, carnivores and predators are related in a...
Curated OER
Sorting and Using Materials
Students explore materials and their properties. For this matter lesson, students identify objects and describe their properties. Students test and sort materials using an interactive whiteboard, followed by a group discussion of what...
Curated OER
Teeshirt Printing
Students become responsible and involved citizens. In this t-shirt printing lesson students design and create a teeshirt with a message about citizenship and responsibility. Natural objects are used as stamps.
Curated OER
Keeping Warm
Learners participate in an online activity to determine how objects heat and cool. They determine what objects best serve as thermal insulators.
Curated OER
Habitats
Students participate in an online lesson to determine that different plants and animals are found in different habitats. They use food chains to show feeding relationships in a habitat, and see that nearly all food chains start with a...
Curated OER
Using Electricity
Students name appliances that use electricity. They construct a simple electrical circuit. They predict whether a circuit work. They name components of an electrical circuit.
Curated OER
Magnets and Springs
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.
Curated OER
Light and Shadows
Students participate in an online lesson to determine how light travels from a source, and to explain that shadows form when light travelling from a source is blocked.
Curated OER
Teeth And Eating
Students 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 teeth.
Curated OER
How We See Things
Pupils explain that when a beam of light is reflected from its surface, it changes direction. In this virtual science experiment lesson plan, students complete an activity that requires them to investigate how flat mirrors reflect light...
Curated OER
Sound and Hearing - Internet Research
Students use a website to help them recognize that sound is generated in a variety of ways and from different sources. They determine that sounds vary in tone and loudness, and learn there are different ways to describe sound.
Curated OER
Gases Around Us
Students participate in an online lesson showing that gases are formed when liquids evaporate and that when a gas is cooled, it condenses to form a liquid, and gases move and flow more easily than liquids, and how gases differ from solids.
Curated OER
Micro-organisms
Learners examine how micro-organisms are living organisms that are often too small to be seen. They explain that micro-organisms may be beneficial or harmful.
Curated OER
How We See Things
Learners explain that mirrors reflect light. They examine how when a beam of light is reflected from a surface, its direction changes.
Curated OER
Keeping Warm
Young scholars place words describing a range from cold to hot on a scale. Using those words, they identify places on Earth which are cold, hot, freezing or boiling. They practice using and reading a thermometer with three different...

My Science Box: Crayon Rock Cycle
A great lesson plan that uses crayon shavings, aluminum foil, and hot water to introduce the three main types of rocks and the processes needed to form them. Included are the lesson objectives, vocabulary, and step-by-step procedures to...
Minerals Ed
Minerals Ed: Introducing the Rock Cycle by Creating a 3 D Model [Pdf]
In this lesson plan geared toward primary students, they will learn about the three different kinds of rocks, how they are formed and how to recognize the unique characteristics by building a 3D model.
