Create models of the infrared, visible, and ultraviolet portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Working in small groups, your class can investigate metric conversions calculations. They will find the length of the waves in nanometers,...

Get an up-close-and personal look at the sun from the safety of your classroom with this fun science application. Offering numerous activities, images, and videos, the resource supports children of all ages as they learn about the sun.

Students research measurements of the moon and Earth as well as the distance between the two in order to create scale models of the Earth-moon system. With a marble to be used as the moon, they must determine how large to make Earth...

Young scholars create a scale drawing. In this ultimate classroom lesson, groups of students create a scale drawing of the ultimate classroom. They explore the and explain the constructed design.

Students work in cooperative groups to find the actual measurements of an historical building/landmark. Then they use ratio and proportion to figure the measurements that might be used to create a scale model of the structure.

Through this lesson, students will learn how to use ratios to create a scale drawing of their classroom's floor plan. It provides adaptations, discussion questions, assessment rubric, and suggested readings to help develop students'...
