In this lesson, sudents will play continent and ocean games to learn more about maps, globes and the world.

Each student will create a book about themselves using the book template. They will identify how people are similar and different.

The four activities in this lesson will provide students opportunities to enhance friendships. Students will also learn to demonstrate appropriate ways to behave in different settings.

In this resource, students will learn there are many jobs available in the IT industry. Students will understand that IT careers cover many different interests and abilities.

In this resource students will complete a job application. They will learn how to apply for a job.

In this lesson, students will learn about different family traditions and holiday celebrations from around the world.

Students will discuss and learn about how to cope with some of the common changes that take place in families. Teachers should use use the "Family Changes" template as a springborad to create their own grade level appropriate questions about family changes (a new sibling, a new job, a new house, a new school, etc.).

In this lesson, students will play a variety of games and activities to understand Cardinal directions. Students will use geographic tools to demonstrate how symbols and models are used to represent features of the school, the neighborhood, and the real world.

In this lesson, students will dress a cut-out doll appropriately for a field trip outside during various weather conditions (such as hot, rainy, cool, very cold, and snowy).

In this activity, students will work in pairs while addressing the social dilemma of who gets to be the leader and who follows, a common strain in relationships. The children try both roles as they take turns being the leader; thus, learning respect for the other when they follow and building confidence when they lead.

On this interactive webpage, students read a short article about the effect that incline has on the force of gravity. Learners are asked to look at pictures of inclines of varying degrees and answer questions about how the incline affects the pull of gravity on an object going up or down.

In this lesson, students observe gravity as they take turns trying to catch a ruler dropped from shoulder height. Next, students estimate, weigh, order and record the weights of several different objects. Finally, students create a graph to show the weights of the objects. A worksheet to record and graph weights is included.

In this lesson, students will "take a trip" just like Toot, in the story Toot and Puddle. A variety of other books are also listed that can be used to enhance this lesson. Students will identify geographic terms that describe their surroundings. Attachments are available for students to make a suitcase, a postcard, and write a letter to their parents.

In this lesson, students demonstrate how forces cause changes in speed or direction of objects by using a pulley to lift objects. Students compare the amount of force needed to lift the load with and without the pulley. Students record their learning on a provided worksheet.

In this lesson, students will create a map of their classroom that can be used to find a hidden treasure. The concept of two-dimensional objects and three-dimensional objects will be explored during this activity.

In this resource, students will listen to the story 'My Father's Dragon' and learn to identify geographic terms that describe their surroundings.

Students will use language that clearly describes the direction (top, bottom, left, right, far, near, etc.) of the path taken as the picture of the main character is moved around on the map.

This puzzle activity will help students identify and create simple geometric shapes. It will also improve "positional words" such as left, right, top and bottom.

In this lesson, students will read literature about the seasons and observe and describe the weather in each. The group will compare and contrast the activities of people during different weather conditions showing how they adapt to changes. They will generate activity and nutritional guides appropriate to each.

Students will become familiar with the compass rose and North - East - South - West. Students will use geographic tools to demonstrate how symbols and models are used to represent features of the school, the neighborhood, and the real world.
