Second graders explore linear patterns using snakes as the context. During the week we examine, construct and record snakes of different patterns. We also put scarves on our snakes and ask others to predict what is hidden.

Fourth graders compare/contrast and interpret data concerning different objects straight line motion. They observe several round or spherical objects of various materials and sizes. Students make predictions, observe and collect data...

Second graders begin the instructional activity by planting their own bean seed. Individually, they make predictions about how many leaves and roots their plant might grow and each day record their observations. They graph the results of...

Students observe a daily paper to see the temperature forecast looking at a paper thermometer with today's predicted temperature colored in. They predict today's temperature, and paste the second color on the same thermometer to show...

Students examine artifacts and documents from their Canadian community. They analyze early Canadian history and make predictions about the future of the country.

Sixth graders study the probability of single events. Given a bag of marbles, they discuss and find the probability of single events. In groups of two, 6th graders complete additional activities, predicting the probability. Students...

Fifth graders explore weather forecasting. For a week, 5th graders observe weekly weather forcasts on different television channels. They predict which station is more accurate with their predictions. Students record and chart...

Fourth graders predict future outcomes with an investigation of the mathematical principle of probability using spinners constructed by them. The spinner is a hands on application an they combine it with writing a ratio for the...

Third graders observe and discuss examples of friction. They discuss what experimentally increases and decreases friction. They then predict which surface will produce the most friction and verify the prediction.

Students determine the difference between guessing and making a prediction. They discuss what they could graph using a bag of M&M's. They take a Raw data sample and convert it into a sample. They graph the actual results and combine...

Students engage in this weather predicting lesson. They discover instrumentation used in the meteorological science. With this knowledge, they will create their own "low-tech" versions of weather instrumentation such as thermometers,...

High schoolers engage in a reading of "An Occurrence At Owl Creek" in order to work on the reading comprehension skills of prediction with looking at the ending. They predict the next events leading to the ending and summarize how it...

Students study weather symbols. For this weather symbols lesson, students review the symbols for cold, warm, and stationary fronts. Students use a weather map to study the weather symbols, complete a weather illustration and prediction...

Pupils research a historical figure from the United States and introduce their classmates to items associated with this person. They also predict how that historical figure would fit into today's society.

Students predict the direction of movement for the pointer of a home-made galvanometer for a given current direction and describe how the current-carrying coil exerts a force on the magnet.

Young scholars build background knowledge or schema of critical division skills by predicting or inferring what will happen next in the story, retelling story detail, and counting the number of cookies on the plate.

Students predict the widespread effects of the English language and consult on-line charts and text to verify their findings.

Students participate in a variety of Guided Reading activities including comprehension questions, discussion, prediction, characterization and inferring meaning while they read Circle of Gold by Candy Dawson Boyd.

Learners determine their location(s) on the map, keep track of which direction they are headed on which street on the map, and predict what roads they cross very soon.

Students end up learning the formula for density and calculate the densities of various materials, and predict if they sink or float.

Pupils dress and act as selected characters from Roald Dahl's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". They identify each other and make predictions about the upcoming chapters based on their observations about the characters.

Students predict the location where the relative humidity the highest and lowest in and around their school. They use a sling psychrometer to measure the relative humidity of the various locations.

Learners participate in an experiment dealing with kinetic energy. They predict which cans they believe will win the can race and why. They answer questions based on the experiment.

Pupils read and discuss a news article about the elderly in the workplace. They use the content of the article for practice in making predictions, determining verb tense, and basic comprehension.
