Students discover that the Earth rotates on its axis in a cyclical fashion. They examine how this rotation results in day and night.

Third graders view a classroom simulation that demonstrates how the Earth's rotation creates day and night.

First graders examine how the earth experiences day and night by using a flashlight and a globe as a model.

A lamp, four globes, and some signs taped around the room are all you need to set up a solar system simulation for teaching how Earth's tilted axis creates the seasons. (Sticky dots are also needed, but not mentioned in the materials...

Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what constellation you were seeing or whether that bright object was a star or a planet? Are you searching for the best tilt-to-view constellation and planet app that money can't buy?...

Second graders investigate rain forests by reading a habitat checklist.  In this environment lesson plan, 2nd graders read the book The Great Kapok Tree, and discuss what characteristics make up a rain forest.  Students explore...

Students describe how wedge and lever makes work easier. For this physics lesson, students analyze experimental data by creating a graph to see the trends. They calculate the work done and mechanical advantage of these simple machines.

Young scholars plan, practice, and act in a 2-3 minute videotaped production about a specific topic. Students from a local high school give presentations pertaining to seasons, earth rotation, and moon phases. Young scholars analyze the...

Third graders use flashlights and balls to demonstrate how the light bounces off of the sun and reflects onto the moon. They record their observations in a journal.

Students study sequencing while reading an Australian folk tale. In this sequencing lesson students read a folk tale using Reader's Theater and discuss what happened first, second and last. Students also create animal ears and noses...

Students record their daily physical activity in a chart. In this physical fitness lesson plan, students and adults exercise and see how many repetitions they can do in a given amount of time. They record this in a chart over a period of...

Students investigate about cycles through games, shared readings and a shared writing activity. They play a game of Ring Around the Rosie to be introduced to the concept of "cycle."

Students explore space science by participating in a shadow experiment. In this sky observation activity, students identify how the sun creates different sized shadows by moving across the horizon. Students utilize yard sticks, markers,...

Students role-play a sleep counseling session with a class partner. They read several articles about the importance of sleep and form advice for someone who is having sleepless nights.

Pupils use their imagination. They discuss the 4 C's of teamwork: Concentration, Communications, Coomperation, and Consideration. Students discuss the safety guidelines of the project. They complete a rope maze. The group walks...
