In this lesson, students use an egg to represent our planet Earth and better understand the ratio and proportion of the crust, mantle, and core. Students will also be introduced to the scientific theory of plate tectonics.
In this lesson, students learn about the characteristics of fungi.
In this lesson, students classify objects that they collect during a scavenger hunt on their school playground according to living and non-living. They will then create real and pictorial graphs that represent their data.
In this activity, students use informal investigation skills to observe the different effects of lights and mirrors using a mirror box.

In this activity, students use felt boards to match animals with their appropriate habitats. Students are then given an opportunity to mix up the animals and habitats and have other students determine the correct combinations. Students discuss why each of the mixed-up combinations will not work.
In this problem-solving activity, students design a device that will accurately and quickly deliver a specific load from one location to another by using non-traditional resources. Students will also understand the importance of power and energy in society.
In this lesson, students use a mnemonic device for remembering the phases of mitosis.
In this activity, students shake rocks for 15-20 minutes to simulate stream erosion.
In this activity, students learn about the sizes and characteristics of different types of rocks. Students will also learn how rock particles are distributed.
