Students will create a food chain model and use it to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment. Resources include a detailed lesson plan, student handouts, pictures of a completed chain, examples of student work, and a video of the lesson in action.

Students will build a food web diagram and illustrate the movement of matter through a series of food chains. Resources include detailed plans, examples of student work, videos of the lesson in action, and sample food webs.

Students examine several fossil samples as they analyze different ways these fossils formed using both real samples and an interactive web page.

Students will be using live data about volcanoes and earthquakes to look for patterns and understand why natural disasters may or may not be able to be predicted. Resources include helpful websites, a video of the lesson in action, student worksheets, and examples of student's work.

Students identify and interpret traits that are found in mammals by noticing differences among animals of the same species. Make a claim that traits are inherited from parents that is supported by evidence.

What objects are in the day sky and the night sky? How do they seem to move? Come and explore with us as we discover the sun, moon, planets and stars! This detailed lesson plan includes pictures and videos of the lesson in action, materials, a parent letter, and examples of student's work.

In this lesson, students will observe and communicate how the stars are in the sky both day and night. The extremely detailed lesson includes photos and videos of the lesson in actions, examples of student's work, materials, parent letter, and an art connection.

Students will use the engineering process to design a windbreak to save a house from wind erosion. Included in this lesson are detailed instructions, a video of the lesson in action, a list of materials, and a printable lab sheet.

In this direct instruction lesson, students draw sketches in their science notebooks in order to make sense of wave properties. Resources include a slideshow presentation on the properties of waves and multiple examples of student work.

Earth changes can happen quickly or slowly. The students will work in teams to stake a claim about these changes and then use texts to find evidence to prove their claims. Included in this lesson are video clips of the class, a list of supplies, a printable recording sheet, and small group management ideas.

Students will be able to explain what is needed to stop an object by completing a simple investigation. Students will experiment with Hot Wheel cars and record their predictions on a recording sheet. Included are videos of the lesson in action, discussion questions, and a work sample.

Fins, gills, claws, wings, each has a special purpose in helping an animal to survive. Students will look at how animals have different parts that help them to adapt to their habitat, and to avoid predators or capture prey. Included in this lesson are videos of the lesson in actions, printable materials, and a literature extension.

Students develop an organized mind map of facts they have learned about fossils from reading and visual content.

Climates vary and understanding that water on earth reacts to the climate is a way to understand why water can be found as both liquid and solid on earth. Included in this lesson is a video of the activity in action, and an image of a world map.

Students will use a variety of objects to participate in a partner activity and communicate using light and sound waves. Resources include a video, pictures and videos of the lesson in action, and examples of student work.

Students will use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance. Resources included are videos of the lesson in action, a student worksheet, and an assessment rubric.

Students often classify objects by size and shape. Now they will look more at the properties of objects such as hardness, flexibility, and texture. Included in this lesson are examples of student's science journal entries, a video of the lesson in action, and a printable copy of a journal page.

The purpose of the lesson is to introduce students to what causes wind and how it can be measured. Students will create a wind gauge and collect data on "wind speed". Detailed instructions are included as well as examples of the lesson from an actual classroom.

Kids learn the science behind wind by watching a video, hearing a book and using a flow chart. This lesson includes pictures of students' completed work, extension ideas, and a printable flow chart worksheet.
