Here is a physical science activity where pupils place thermometers inside of a white and a black paper pocket and place them under a lamp. They record and compare the temperature increase over a ten-minute period. Have your class...

Using fractions as their artistic guide, learners color in parts of five shape images. Each image is segmented based on the denominator, so scholars simply need to apply the numerator to know how much to color. None of these are mixed...

Seeing is believing! Or is it? With this simple experiment, young scientists can explore the concept of visual perception. Attach Benham's disk to a rotating appliance such as a hand drill; As it spins, the black lines appear to be...

What a great cross-curricular instructional activity to give to your kindergartners! They get printing practice by tracing the word blue, connecting its meaning by coloring bubbles blue. Finally, they connect the shape of the...

Young artists divide a piece of graph paper into sections using rectangles, squares, and triangles. They then fill each section with patterns of shape and color. Elementary graders describe how their patterns are organized. Secondary...

Students study the Golden Ratio and its relationship to Renaissance artists. After exploring proportions and ratios used by Renaissance artists, students create a mix of ten variations of color paint, and record the ratios of primary...

Students explore the light spectrum. The teacher uses holographic diffraction grafting film on an overhead to demonstrate the true nature of color. After observing a vivid rainbow, students recognize that white light is composed of all...

Young scholars test their memory recall and discuss its association to color. After reading an article, they discuss the natural and psycho-sociological significance of the color red. As a class, they participate in a mood-color...

Student color a sea turtle. They cut out the egg pieces and punch holes. Students place the turtle behind the egg pieces and push a paper fastener through the holes to join.

Students use a variety of computer games and programs to reinforce colors. In this colors lesson plan, students create scenes, view degrees of colors, see colors dance to music, and more.

Students investigate the effects of light while experimenting with several color wheels. They make observations and record them. The information from the observations is used to help fuel the discussion that follows. The instructional...

Students encounter the format of a podcast and plan what content they will include. They work in small groups or with the whole class to develop an outline. Students practice reading their scripts to other students.

Students read the book "Caps for Sale." Students model reading a sentence and using one color cap and the color word (written in its color). They match the color word (written in its color) to the correct color hat.

Students identify symmetry and create their own frog design. Students apply hand-eye coordination in placing their designs of cross-stitch netting. Students identify with new textures. Students present and analyze their design once...

Students identify the elements of line, shape, and color and expressive qualities of pictorial representation. Students create their own puppet frog using emotion and perform in a reader's theater. Students listen to various pieces of...

Students count candy by color and then calculate mean, median, and mode. They count candy and use the data to calculate mean, median, and mode (by color) and apply their learning to another collection of data.

Students visit a web page that gives a brief introduction to two color models and experiment with mixing different color intensities to create different colors. They visit links that give more detailed information on color.

In this design a graphic picture learning exercise, students design a picture on a grid using four colors. Next, they use a grid to digitize the graphic. This one-page learning exercise contains two grids which are 13 x 13 in size.

In this draw and color activity, students are given a background and the information that a rare bird has been discovered. Students create the picture of the bird to complete the picture.
