Students, during this twelve week series of lessons, learn basic anatomy through life sketches of human skeletons and shells. They learn fundamentals of line and convey life through sketches learning science through art.

Students create their own number patterns to reinforce their understanding of the concept of patterns. They also search for the unexpected guests in each other's patterns.

Students participate in a simulated election. They serve as 'checkers', marking off names of those who vote, a ballot person hands out ballots, and ballot sorters and counters. Teacher rigs up a voting booth where voters mark ballots...

Students define what a cloud is and what fog is. After a lecture/demo, students participate in an experiment on how clouds and fog are formed. In pairs, they perform the experiment a second time, record their results and present to the...

Learners participate in a variety of mini-lessons including experiments, literature readings, physical education components, music, data gathering and recording and more to expose them to several themes of weather; i.e. water cycle,...

Learners use tables showing the ratios between ounces and pounds, grams and kilograms, and pounds and kilograms. They estimate whether an object should be weighed in ounces or pounds and whether an object should be weighed in grams or...

Students identify three-dimensional forms in various buildings and construct three-dimensional paper forms.

Students explore their five senses using Ken Baker's "Brave Little Monster" as a springboard.

Fourth graders explain the idea of a missing factor in an equation. They recognize, represent and solve mathematical situations using patterns and symbols.

Fourth graders use square tiles to help them explain the concept of square numbers.

Second graders demonstrate their encoding skills by spelling words using color coded paper, match correct letters with the colored paper to spell the words in standard form, and self correct any errors made in the spelling with colored...

Fifth graders review EOG math terms and definitions found in their math notebooks, and pick between 15 and 20 words to put in a word search.

Eighth graders use colored candy pieces (such as M & M's) to compare mathematical expectations and experimental probability. They pick pieces of candy randomly, and graph their results. This classic instructional activity never fails...

Third graders take turns rolling the die, and selects an appropriate place to put the digit that was rolled in order to create a number with the largest value possible. They compete by trying to roll the highest valued number with the die.

Pupils explore the aspects of a frog's anatomy that allow it to be such a good jumper and jump and record the length of each jump to determine which style of jumping allows them to jump the farthest.

First graders listen to the book, Piggies, and act out the events of the story with premade puffball pigs.

Students are shown an experiment making ice cream while discovering the freezing point depression. There are questions for students to answer after the demostration.

Fifth graders study probability of events. They predict outcomes, and participate in hands-on experiments to find the probability of specified events. Afterward, 5th graders write probability of events in fractions and decimals.

Classify and explore shapes by giving learners opportunities to handle, describe and classify 2D and 3D shapes. Primary learners will sort objects such as triangles, squares, oblongs, circles, ovals, pentagons, hexagons, diamonds, boxes,...

Third graders investigate three dimensional shapes. They examine a variety of shapes and the relationship between the number of faces, edges, and vertices. Students determine Euler's formula and they create a variety of three dimensional...

Students examine about what pronouns are and what they do after viewing the examples written on the board. They then independently write the pronouns used in the worksheet sentences.

Learners observe crystal growth of Epsom salts and the variables that hinder or help their nucleation and growth. They illustrate a series of drawings/pictures as the crystals grow. They look for the different shapes they form as well...

Third graders review the commutative and associative property in mathematics. Using a worksheet, they work together to identify the patterns between the 32 triangles. To end the lesson, they create their own array and exchange it with...

Learners create a movie of animal cell mitosis. They draw steps regarding the stages of cell mitosis. They add beginnings, movie titles, and ending credits. They present the movie to their teacher.
