Tenth graders discuss the techniques and tools scientists use to study about the earth, including techniques used to determine geological time scales. They share their personal experiences of earthquakes and volcanoes.

Young scholars practice throwing and catching with a partner or self toss-catch. As a prerequisite skill they should understand safe spaces and have some knowledge of throwing and catching skills.

Students explore the size of our Universe by understanding how long it takes to travel around from object to object in it - even if you travel at the speed of light! In making our exploration, we will examine ways of measuring distance,...

Students move to music and study bones and their purpose. When the music plays slow, gentle sounds the students have NO bones and their bodies are like Jello or an egg that has been cracked open on the floor . When the music changes...

Students, using a computer, demonstrate their knowledge of soccer terms.

First graders complete a variety of cross-curricular activities to examine the uses of the letter K. In this alphabet theme lesson plan, 1st graders complete music, cooking, geography, craft, physical education, science, and online...

Students practice the backfloat while swimming.

Students investigate how to see, describe and draw faint or subtle features on an object which is thought of by most people as having a smooth, featureless surface. The exercise is important to reinforce skills in making observations...

Learners practice the art of developing the ability to exchange possession from a dribbling teammate. They strengthen their individual skills, coordination and control factors with a ball. In teams of two, players master their...

Students explore what happens to water as it goes from solid to liquid and back. In this state of matter lesson, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state.

Students explore the relationship between a current in a coil and the magnetic field.  In this physics lesson plan students complete a lab activity using a magnet and batteries. 

Using a hands-on approach, learners explore the effect of friction on objects. Learners use toy cars, shoes, wood, metal, and more to experiment with the causes and effects of friction. Afterwards, they conduct experiments in which they...

Through a series of experiments and demonstrations, fifth graders will learn about gravity. They will make predictions, drop various objects, write down their observations, and try to understand gravity through balance. This lesson seems...

Students use ball-handling skills while running. In this ball-handling lesson, students divide into teams, toss the ball back and forth while running in a relay format.

Your class can investigate the weather through an experiment. In this chemistry lesson plan, learners collect data on air pressure and relate it to the weather. They collect data with the TI containing a barometer probe.

Second graders perform various tasks by identifying the action word with teacher. They demonstrate each of the correct critical elements of loco motor, non-manipulative, and manipulative skills.

High schoolers examine the velocities of two different falling objects. They produce distance vs. time and velocity vs. time graphs using a Motion Detector and a CBL 2 to collect experimental data. Learners analyze and interpret the...

Pupils explore data collection in this lesson. They investigate distance vs. time and velocity vs. time graphs using information collected with a CBR 2 to simulate the reconstruction of an accident.

Students examine relationships and interactions between different types of water. They experiment with colored water of different temperature and salinity and discuss how the results relate to real ocean currents.

Learners explore the concept of parabolas by collecting quadratic data on a bouncing ball as it is falling using a motion detector. They plot the data and determine the equation of the quadratic in vertex form, then determine the values...

Young learners explore motion graphs in this lesson. They investigate distance-time plots as they move in a specific way in front of the CBR in an attempt to make a motion plot that matches a given plot. Pupils explore the connections...

Pupils explore the concept of distance and time as they use a CBR to mimic distance v. time graphs. Learners walk towards and away from the monitor to create various distance v. time graphs, then discuss what motion creates certain graphs.

Learners explore the concept of distance v. time. They use a CBR to collect data on their distance over time, then plot their data using a scatter plot and find an equation to model their data. Pupils discuss what if scenarios which...

Explore the concept of projectile distance through determining the angle that will provide the maximum distance of a launched projectile.  Students launch baseballs on a football field and video tape the path of the ball.
