Children explore the parts of a plant (flower, seeds, stem, leaves, and roots) using a dandelion as an example.

Exploration of the school grounds and thought images are used to demonstrate the many uses of plants.

Students collect seeds from field plants as part of understanding seed dispersal.

Students observe that water has weight and that weight decreases as water evaporates. The changes that occur as a sponge dries on a yardstick balance illustrates this concept.

The relative weight of water, in different types of containers, is explored.

Students use a globe and cups of water to illustrated the amount of water versus land on earth and the amount of fresh versus salt water available to plants and animals.

Students observe water changing states from a solid to a liquid to a gas.

Students form a variety of categories for seed mixes (wild bird seed or 15 bean soup) and create graphs to display their categories.

Alcohol is a powerful depressant drug. Over time heavy drinking can lead to severe health problems. This lesson shows how advertisements for alcoholic beverages entice people to buy their product by using wealthy people, or happy people...

Students are introduced to rocks and their physical properties. We use rock and mineral products everyday. In fact, each person in the United States uses an average of 10 tons of rock and mineral products every year.

Learners will use their bodies to act out the motions of Earth by exploring orbits, rotations, and the turning of the earth as it revolves around the sun. Doing research to find correct answers to their questions will help them act out...

Students identify rock types by observing key characteristics. Describe the differences between minerals and rocks. Observe rocks using a magnifying glass and draw shapes and colors of the minerals.

Second graders help make a list identifying ways that the "Country Bunny" showed good citizenship in the story, and how it can be implemented into our classroom. They give out good citizen awards to their peers.  

Middle schoolers develop photo essays on Madagascar's environmental challenges. In groups, students research and develop photo essay slide shows to explore the issues of balancing the needs of Madagascar's human population with those of...

High schoolers get an overview of the importance of food safety and become familiar with common foodborne pathogens.

Students develop competencies in responsible and collaborative learning. Computer software and manipulatives may be used at this station to aid in independent learning.

Fifth graders plot out points on grid paper which correspond with the ordered pairs they are given. If done correctly, the points form a word.

Young scholars use input / output tables to help them solve algebraic equations. They use patterns and relations to represent and analyze mathematical situations using algebraic symbols.

Fifth graders become mathematical problem solvers using cereal to help demonstrate fractions and equivalent fractions. They use a graph to represent the data, and to compare fractions.

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

Seventh graders explain how local government impacts various aspects of daily life in their community. They strengthen their understanding of the connection between their local government and the needs and interests of their community.

Third graders explore pattern blocks noticing their similarities and differences and share their observations with others. They classify shapes by discussing sides and angles and combine pieces to make new shapes.

Fourth graders use critical thinking, evaluation, and geography skills to find alternative locations that Brigham Young could have taken the Mormons to settle.

Ninth graders simulate (role play) some of the original emotional responses to this request for soldiers. They list and evaluate reasons for and against creating the Mormon Battalion. They justify their own decision under such...
