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.

Students construct a model of the water cycle in action using two-liter pop bottles to build a terrarium. Locate examples of evaporation and condensation in the water cycle (e.g., water evaporates when heated and clouds or dew forms when...

Learners will create a simulation of the chemical reactions that occur during the digestive process. A physical change occurs when the appearance of matter changes, but the composition of the matter does not change.

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 measure and correlate their foot lengths and body heights, then use this data to estimate height of Laetoli hominids. They use metric measurement and graphing to determine these heights.

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 demonstrate lines of symmetry using polygons, pentominoes, and block letters of the alphabet. They describe, identify, and analyze characteristics and properties of geometric shapes.

Fourth graders explain the characteristics of quadrilaterals and describe, identify and analyze characteristics and properties of geometric shapes.

Fourth graders use their decoding machine to find the value of their spelling words. Encourage partners to create a message for each other to decode.

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 work with fractions using hands on experiences and reasoning skills and use fractions to communicate the idea of a part of a whole.

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...
