Earthquake Machine
Young scholars explore plate tectonics by conducting a class experiment. In this earthquake lesson, students utilize scrap wood, sandpaper, rubber bands and a sanding belt to create a model earthquake experiment which shakes a nearby...
Curated OER
Golden Ratio of the Human Body
Students calculate the ratio of the height of the body to the height of the navel. They discover that the ratios are all approximately equal.
Curated OER
Oxygen vs. Air Pressure
Students conduct an experiment to determine if water level is affected by a change in oxygen level or air pressure.
Curated OER
Snow Cover By Latitude
Students examine computerized data maps in order to create graphs of the amount of snowfall found at certain latitudes by date. Then they compare the graphs and the data they represent. Students present an analysis of the graphs.
Curated OER
Alfy plays "Time Flies"
Third graders use the Internet to go to a math web site to explore, practice and play time telling exercises. They play a time game by moving the clock arms to match a time presented on a button.
Curated OER
Understanding Cloud Formation
Students read and relate the poem, "Clouds" by Aileen Fisher to a demonstration on cloud formation. They create clouds in jars using ice water and matches then discuss the ways clouds can be used to predict weather.
Curated OER
Team Puzzles
Fourth graders work in co-operative teams of four to complete a puzzle. Each student initially works independently, and then the team jointly puts together the four shapes they have individually made, to complete the puzzle.
Curated OER
Straight Line Motion
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...
Curated OER
A thousand seconds
Students use seconds, minutes, and hours. They then discuss the size of a thousand. After that they read time in digital or analogue form.
Curated OER
Parking Meters
Third graders are introduced to the problem with a short discussion about parking. They then solve with a partner. As they work ask questions that focus on the strategies they are using to make the calculations.
Curated OER
Garry The Greengrocer
Fourth graders are introduced to the problem by weighing objects on the balance scales. Use weights in both pans. (If you don't have access to scales use 2 containers and a child acting as the balance.) They then listen to the problem...
Curated OER
Adam's Watch
Third graders use their watches to tell the time while the teacher lists their responses on the board along with the reasons for them (set incorrectly, gain/lose time). They solve the problem in pairs and focus their thinking on the...
