In this solar system worksheet, students use an on line source to find the names of the people who discovered the planets, comets, asteroids, black holes and the idea of the big bang theory.

In this planets worksheet, students are given clues from Greek mythology to find the names of planets and moons. They use an on line source to find the answers.

Students create an acrostic poem about winter. In this lesson about acrostic poems, students explore acrostic poetry. Students read an acrostic poem as an example. As a class, students come up with an acrostic poem for the word "CLASS"....

Young scholars design a deep-sea animal. In this research based lesson plan, students research and design a vertebrate or invertebrate that lives in a methane hydrate habitat. They compile a class chart of the adaptations animals have in...

Students differentiate between metallic and non-metallic sounds. In this music lesson plan, students listen to the audio clip of "March" and march in time with the music. Students identify the metallic sounds in the music piece. Students...

In this recognizing correct spelling and usage of words worksheet, 4th graders read and copy the list of words in cursive and identify the homophones and words with two syllables. Students write 20 words.

This spelling practice, appropriate for fourth graders, is a neat and useful instructional activity to assign as homework. For all 20 words, there are more letters than are heard when read out loud. 

In this alphabetical order worksheet, students cut out 20 word cards and glue them in alphabetical order on a sidewalk picture. Some words will start with the same letter.

In this spelling words word search worksheet, 4th graders complete a word search and write the spelling words in which the list of little words can be seen. Students write 20 answers.

Students experiment to determine the best watering schedule to use when growing grass. In this grass watering lesson plan, students examine rye grass seeds and discuss the role roots play in keeping grass healthy. They grow rye grass in...

Third graders investigate Bernoulli's Principle. In this Bernoulli's Principle lesson, 3rd graders examine blowing air through a tube and the movement of the ball. Students make inquiries into what effect the air has on the ball and...

Third graders explore the work of Daniel Bernoulli through experiment and background information.  In this Bernoulli lesson plan, 3rd graders participate in air pressure experiments. Students record their observations of...

Learners examine the four forces of flight. In this flight lesson, students test to see which types of items will fly. Learners make predictions on whether the item will fly or not. Students gain knowledge about lift, gravity, thrust and...

Young scholars redesign a human, using data in research, so that s/he can fly. In this flying lesson plan, students examine the characteristics and adaptations of groups of animals that can fly.  Using this research, young scholars...

Students create a paper dart airplane and measure its flight pattern. In this flight instructional activity, students follow the included directions to build their own paper airplane. The students change the aileron configurations to see...

Students discover how flight is possible.  In this physics lesson, students investigate the properties of a blimp and gyro-copter, comparing rotating wings and fixed wings of aircraft.  Students create their own model aircraft...

Fourth graders become familiar with a chart and use the information to create a flight plan.  In this flight plan lesson, 4th graders access background knowledge of the role of flight controllers and the number concepts they...

Fifth graders conduct flight experiments.  In this uplifting experience lesson, 5th graders build an airfoil and place in a variety of conditions to observe the results of lift and force in flight, as well as angle of attack....

Learners discover how air pressure effects flight.  In this physics lesson, students create two types of airplane wings so they can observe the way air pressure creates lift.  Learners utilize a printout to create the airplane...

Students investigate the flight of paper boomerangs. For this flight lesson, students examine the flight variables of paper boomerangs, which they make, by investigating the concepts of lift and drag. They examine what happens when an...

Eighth graders explore flight and the dichotomous key. In this flight instructional activity, 8th graders gain understanding of the dichotomous key and create one of their own. Students then use their dichotomous key to classify...

Fifth graders create paper gliders and check for flight distance and time. For this flight lesson, 5th graders create a paper glider from the attached worksheet and adjust the rudder, aileron, and elevator. They see how these adjustments...

Students explore the concept of the scientific method. In this investigative lesson, students investigate which direction the blades will spin on a gyrocopter. Student will practice using the scientific method to complete the investigation.

Students identify significant milestones in the history of flight. In this aviation history instructional activity, students study various resource materials and construct timelines of significant achievements.
