Through this lesson, students will understand the relationship among the Sun, heat energy, evaporation, and condensation.

In this activity students will create a soil profile and examine soil texture and water holding capacity.

In this activity, students will conduct research and learn about the instruments scientists use to explore space.

This resource is an activity that will help students answer the question, "What keeps our Solar System in Shape?"

This is an interactive resource in which students can learn about the various planets in our solar system.

In this lesson, students observe and describe plants as they grow from seeds. Students will work collaboratively to collect, interpret, and display data related to the growth patterns and heights of the plants.

These hands-on activities help students to understand that the total weight of an object is equal to the sum of its parts using modeling clay and connecting toys like Legos. Students estimate and measure total weight, then the weight when disassembled or divided into smaller pieces and then again when the object is reassembled. Students record and share their experiences and data.

In this activity, students investigate how forces cause changes in the speed or direction of objects. Students will also observe how the amount of change is affected by the amount of force applied.

In this activity, students will experience gravity just like Galileo did during his experiments.

In this activity, students jump with and without weights to demonstrate that gravity has more effect on heavier objects.

In this activity, students will discover that gravity affects objects as they roll up a ramp.

In this lesson, students learn how energy from the sun serves as a source of heat and light for Earth.

In this lesson, students learn that heat is produced from mechanical and electrical machines and human activities.

In this lesson, students participate in a creative problem-solving activity to plan a trip to get from Utah to the Atlantic Ocean.

In this lesson, students compare and contrast changes in themselves and their environmental surroundings over time.

In this lesson, students will engage in activities where they measure classroom items with various measuring tools helping them understand multiples of inches and portions of inches.

In this lesson, students will study two animals to understand how their variations give each a survival advantage.

In this lesson, students are engaged in discussions and complete an activity page about learned vs instinctive behaviors. Extensive suggestions for extending this lesson to special needs students, content integration, assessments, character education and family are included.
