Pupils examine urban runoff and identify peak flows. They examine causes for different flow rates, and complete worksheets and a graph.

Students identify safe and unsafe activities. They identify what is allowed when their parents are home and when they are not. They complete a worksheet and discuss the different activities.

Students discuss why it is important to be safe while they are home alone. They decide if decisions made in skits they watch were good or bad. They even create their own role plays.

Students practice using a thermometer to determine how the air around the earth gets heated and cooled by the sun. Students chart the daily inside and outside temperature for two weeks.

Students work together to determine how fast trees go. They make predictions and complete simple measurements. They answer questions to end the lesson.

Students investigate the growth of plants in soil with oxygen and soil without oxygen. They discuss what roots need to survive, and chart the growth of two plants to analyze the difference between plain soil and soil with two earthworms.

Students examine a cross section of a tree. They discuss what the rings mean and how they can tell its age. They complete a worksheet to end the lesson plan.

Learners participate in an experiment in which they test the growth of different types of plants. They discover how growth rates vary using inoculum. They draw pictures and are read books about plants to end the lesson plan.

Students debate the key issues dealing with women's rights and the rights of African Americans during and after the Civil War. They analyze the women's rights movement in relationship to the desire for suffrage. They utilize the...

Young scholars discuss the topic of streamflow and how it occurs. They take measurements and analyze them. They interpret data and create their own charts and graphs.

Fifth graders examine photographs of the eastern and western Franklin Mountains. As a class, they discuss what is shown and the different colored rocks and the orientation of the layers. In groups, they are given clay of two different...

Students make observations of pupa larvae to make notes on the development into the monarch butterfly. The observations teach learners about the life cycle and graphing is done to record the statistical analysis.

Students keep detailed weather records during the spring migration of monarchs. They chart the weather at the same time and location each day and analyze their weather dat in a particular category. They also chart the arrival of the...

Students are guided through the Scientific Method to perform observations about the pupa stage of the monarch butterfly. The results of an experiment are used to make assumptions about growth and development.

High schoolers keep a detailed record of weather patterns during the spring migration of the monarch butterfly. The use of weather reports is used to form a class data sheet. This lesson connects to the skills of graphing and critical...

Students examine the works of Noam Chomsky. They collaborate in small groups to read and identify vocabulary words and historical questions. They answer their questions and role-play as emissaries to locate remaining answers. They...
