Fourth graders examine the paths that electrical currents travel. They create a current of electricity using flashlights, bulbs, batteries, wires and tape. They determine how to create a closed circuit that will light the bulb. They...

Learners visit the Texas Capitol Visitors Center. They review the importance of the Lone Star as a state symbol. They create a collage of Lone Stars using various print media (newspapers, magazines, travel literature and advertisements.)

Students simulate the motion of a fly ball with different winds. They use a partner to provide the simulated wind. Students draw a baseball diamond and the field on a piece of paper. They drag the pen across the paper to show the path of...

In this lesson, students investigate the phenomenon of sound! Students compare and contrast how sound travels through solids, liquids, and gases. They explain how length and thickness affect sound. Students know the difference between...

Young scholars list items they know and want to know about water on personal K-W-L charts. They describe what happened during the warm up activity in their science journal. Students travel to four different stations and perform the...

Students describe an everyday situation which demonstrates Newton's Third Law. They state Newton's Third Law;"Every action has an equal and opposite re-action, or every force has an equal and opposite force" in their own words. ...

Students role play their favorite judge and chase the other students to try to take their flag football flags away. Then they travel around the gym freely trying not to lose their flags. Students who lose their flags help the judges to...

In this how the ear receives sound worksheet, learners examine and follow a flow chart to view the process of how sound travels within the human ear. Students place the flow chart in chronological order.

In this velocity activity, students determine the average velocity for a trip, graph the distance traveled as a function of time, estimate the slope and identify the instantaneous rate of change of the function. This two-page activity...

For this multiplication maze worksheet, 5th graders find the product of a multiplication problem at the beginning of each maze. They travel through the maze by finding the problems with the same product. They draw the route and write the...

In this motion worksheet, students determine the distance traveled, the acceleration, and velocity of different objects. This worksheet has 11 problems to solve.

In this forces worksheet, students practice writing net force equations and solving for acceleration and distance objects travel in different situations. This worksheet has 7 problems to solve.

Students explore distance a toy car travels by changing the amount of batteries used to power the toy car.  In this force and motion instructional activity, students calculate the average speed of a car while investigating the power...

Students complete a final written project. For this personal response lesson, students respond in a creative way to one of the issues presented in the unit.  Students may choose to create a series of postcards from a natural...

Students calculate the speed and length of parts of the robot. In this algebra lesson, students measure the length of robots legs. They calculate the time it takes the robot to travel a specific distance.

Third graders locate the states of Main and Kansas on a map. In this state location lesson plan, 3rd graders read the book Sarah, Plain and Tall and discuss what states she traveled through.

Young scholars practice new Spanish vocabulary and participating in a dialogue with another student. In groups, they use the internet to pretend to buy an airplane ticket and make hotel reservations on a trip to a Spanish-speaking...

Learners research and plan a simple trip within France. The student gathers information on transportation, lodging, food, tourist attractions and climate. The student then presents the researched information to the class in French.

Here is a fun and simple ice breaker in which your young learners will interview their classmates to discover which ones have had similar interests and experiences.

What would happen if you took a trip in a time machine? Have kids craft narratives about a trip to the past or the future. The prompt includes questions to consider in the writing, as well as lines for kids to jot down ideas on or use to...

Students explain the concepts and vocabulary of Earth's rotation. They plan imaginary vacations based on the seasons in different locations. This is a very creative lesson plan, which students enjoy.

Learners explore sound waves. In this sound wave lesson, students determine the path traveled by sound waves in an acoustic room. Learners consider how sound travels and reflects, then they calculate the rate sound travels at.

In this sound wave worksheet, 3rd graders record what occurs when they make a stethoscope out of a hose and funnel. They listen to a classmate's heart and let the student listen to theirs.

Students participate in an online instructional activity to determine how light travels from a source, and to explain that shadows form when light travelling from a source is blocked.
