Young scholars explain the methods Penn used to attract settlers to his colony. They compare and contrast Penn's account with Daniel Pastorius' account. Students evaluate the effectiveness of Penn's ability to attract settlers to the...

Young scholars collect samples of pond water, dried grass, and soil in a jar. They predict the order of ecological succession in their pond water cultures. They compare their expected results with their observed results.

Learners develop reading strategies: inferring meaning from context. They work together in order to negotiate the meaning of the various vocabulary items. Students predict the personality of the main character in each of the books.

Students recognize and identify gaps in historical and archaeological evidence and how that evidence is interpreted. They explore the history of the Indus cities and identify what was left behind that survived for archaeologists to find...

Students engage in the use of technology to investigate the mathematical concepts of probability and graphing. They use the skills of predicting an outcome to come up with reasonable possibilities. Students also practice using a...

Students study letters and letter sounds and are to be used throughout the year. They predict the letters and sounds and words that are represented by each letter. Letter and sound recognition can be assessed through one to one...

Students investigate basic concepts of chance and probability. They make a number cube to predict which number might be rolled the most often out of 20 consecutive rolls and tally the results. Number cube template included.

Students are able to use inquiry to answer the essential questions. They are able to predict and test configurations of a battery, bulb, and wire that make the complete circuit. Students craft a group and individual theory of a...

Fifth graders are able to physically record on a sheet of paper predictions and results of an experiment pertaining to the adaptations of Arctic animals after a class discussion about the topic.

Students conduct an experiment and complete a chart demonstrating some of the basic properties and components of water via the scientific method. They encompass strategies such as questioning, making predictions, comparing/contrasting...

Observe two different water samples and write down observations. Write a paragraph which predicts the relative amounts of nutrients, nitrates, and phosphates in the water samples. Compare water samples under a microscope.

Seventh graders recognize the characteristics of a scientific question and investigate, make predictions, conduct tests, and record and share their observations. They discuss and plan how to investigate the question. Studets explore how...

Students use supporting evidence to predict if common household substances are acids or bases. They determine the pH of the substances and describe the results of the investigation and characteristics of each substance.

Young scholars study the Golden Ratio and its relationship to Renaissance artists. After exploring proportions and ratios used by Renaissance artists, students create a mix of ten variations of color paint, and record the ratios of...

Students explore light, and how it travels in straight path, recognize that light-sensitive chemical processes can be used to create images using light as catalyst, discover that light can be refracted by convex lens to focus camera,...

Learners discuss convection currents in the Earth's mantle, how they form, and how they move as well as the causes of earthquakes. Working in a group, they analyze a color coded World Earthquake Map and try to determine which direction...

In this weather instructional activity students use a weather map to answer given questions. Students answer questions using map symbols and make predictions based on map. Students create additional questions with answers using the...

In this solar system worksheet, students use foldable models they made of the planets to answer questions about each planet. They answer questions about the theories and predictions made in our history about the solar system and answer...

Students learn how to count animal populations by the Mark and Recapture method. In this counting animal populations lesson plan, students begin by predicting amounts of different candies in a jar. Students then simulate using beans, two...

Learners explore momentum. In this physics lesson, students perform an experiment in which two balls are released on slanted boards while learners observe which ball will go the farthest and the fastest. Students define and explain...

Students thresh wheat. In this comprehension and comparison lesson, students read the Little Red Hen and retell the story based on the beginning, middle and end. Students get a wheat stem, predict the number of seeds in their seed head,...

Students study the pumpkin. For this pumpkin lesson, students participate in different activities that explain the history of pumpkins and how pumpkins develop and grow, read "The Great Pumpkin Story" and answer comprehensive questions...

Students examine the basic ideas of conductors and insulators. In this electricity lesson plan, students predict which items will work as insulators or conductors when contact is made with a lightning globe. The students evaluate what...
