First graders investigate soil, sand and silt. For this environment lesson, 1st graders discuss how changes occur in the environment and the effects of weather. Students perform their own investigation and record their predictions,...

Students explore the solar system by conducting Earth science experiments. In this Sun lesson plan, students identify the different seasons on Earth and discuss their purpose and cause. Students create a sundial and observe the changes...

Students identify the parts of the egg and observe the composition of the egg parts.

Students explore plant uses. Students observe the process of changing grapes to raisins as a method of preserving a plant part for human use.

Pupils use 5 articles from the Internet that have information about surveys, experiments or observational studies. They need to see which statistical terms apply. After that, they rank the 5 articles in order of credibility, and justify...

Students observe that each individual possesses a unique set of fingerprints. The Magic School Bus series of books, "Inside the Human Body," is used in conjunction with this lesson plan.

Fourth graders are introduced to the early colonial settlements of America by observing a map, filling in a map themselves and then researching information on their own.

Students observe a model of the distribution of the earth's water and compare the relative volumes and percentages of types of water on earth.

Pupils observe the pH change of an acid mixture poured over soil in a filter. Since the buffering capability of soils differs, you may want to do this experiment with several different soil types.

Students learn some basic facts about tornadoes and map two selected tornado statistics by state, and observe, analyze and speculate about the pattern(s) created by the completed map.

Students create portrait with contour line - drawing from observation, then contrast warm and cool colors - work with pattern and textures. They work wet in wet graded wash technique and develop skills in using elements and principles of...

Students conduct labs to gain an overview of chemical reactions. They observe examples of synthesis, decomposition, single displacement and double displacement reactions. They identify certain products by the use of litmus and splint tests.

Students compare and contrast world maps and globes. They convert a 3-dimensional globe to a 2-dimensional map. They are introduced to the Mercator map projection. They observe map distortions of shape, area, distance, directions and angle.

Students research the effects of day-to-day weather on animal migrations, plant growth and other seasonal events. They consult maps, observe and record local conditions, keep journals and use their collected data check hypotheses.

Second graders view a video of the Nutcracker ballet and then compare and contrast holiday celebrations in Germany and the United States. They use the computer to write a paragraph exploring their observations.

Students use a concrete model of the Sun and Earth to observe and manipulate a 3-D model of the Sun and Earth.

Students manipulate and observe a 3-D model which simulates the activity of the Sun, Earth and Moon during a solar eclipse.

High schoolers explore The Great War and create graphic organizers and a timeline illustrating their observations.

Students discuss what plants require in order to grow, identify plant parts and their functions and discuss a video about plants. They conduct a controlled experiment with bean seeds and then record and observe the bean plants.

Learners observe how plants recycle themselves, and discuss different types of propagation.

Students explore their community recycling program and observe how aluminum cans are processed for recycling.

Second graders study the readily observable characteristics of marine invertebrates, 2nd graders research the invertebrates and complete worksheets in this series of lessons.

Students define "goods" and "services" and identify examples of both. They read farm books and discuss what we use from animals and plants on a farm. They observe the Wisconsin quarter reverse and locate Wisconsin on a map.

Students observe skulls of wild animals and determine their characteristics for survival. They evaluate the skuylls to discover the diets, and if the animals were predators or prey. They complete worksheets on mystery skulls.
