In this lesson, students will conduct an investigation to see how temperature can affect the state of matter.
Engage your students in this read-aloud lesson, integrating Math and Computer Science. With prompting and support, students will be able to Identify coins by name and value using Sphero.
Students will be identifying the unknown minerals by looking at cleavage, fracture, luster, streak, hardness, and density. This is a hands on activity where students will place their data on a data
In this lesson, students will work together to identify the systems by using a preserved frog. The systems that will be studied are the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory system. Prior to these
Students will explore the different types of mouth parts and how their feeding needs are met. Students will 'pretend' to be insects with different mouth types and collect data on their success on
In this lesson students will learn about the 3 types of matter and go on a matter scavenger hunt. After the scavenger hunt students will make graphs to show the different types of matter that they
Students will use live seedlings and available information about seedling and the Sun's energy to determine the best location for the plant to thrive.
Teaching with phenomena is a great way to connect real world events with inquiry based learning in the classroom. In this lesson students will observe and investigate a phenomenon that involves the
The Mystery Box Investigation combines science concepts about properties of matter, how we use and identify matter based on its properties, and the mathematical concepts needed to calculate density
Students will have the opportunity to apply the skils of finding area of a rectangle and volume of rectangular prism when they determine the area and volume of garden beds at the school.
This lesson combines plant science with measurement and line plot graphing. Students will research plant needs through books and media to plan and conduct an experiment which tests different growing
In this activity, students will complete a Web Quest to find the diameter of the Earth, Moon, and Sun AND will observe how the Earth orbits around the Sun and how the moon rotates around the Earth by
In this lesson, students will read about volcanoes (using teacher chosen books and Readworks.org passages) as well as watch videos to see them in real life. They will then create their own volcano and
In this lesson, students will incorporate science and math concepts as they investigate properties of matter. They will apply mathematical concepts and formulas in a hands on activity where they
Students will design and build their own popsicle stick catapults, exploring principles of force, motion, and engineering. This lesson does have a Halloween theme to it, but can be modified is needed.
A Makerspace is a common space reserved for creative exploration, engineering, tinkering, inventing and purposeful play. In a Makerspace, children have opportunities to discover, assemble, problem

The lesson is designed to engage 3rd-grade students in hands-on exploration of scientific and mathematical concepts using the Dash robot. The lesson aligns with the Arizona Science Standards for 3rd
It's slime time! Get ready to explore thermal energy in this hands-on lesson. Students will see evidence of heat transfer by creating color-changing slime!
When Res is hurling towards Mars, he needs a parachute that will help him land safely. Can you design a parachute that will help Res land safely on Mars? Students will design a parachute using coffee
This lesson is a dissection of a flower native to Arizona. Students will identify the parts of the Arizona Yellow Bell, while learning what characteristics are needed to make a flower in Arizona
This lesson discusses winter weather and snow. We will create a recipe for “snow” following step-by-step directions that includes an addition math problem. Student will be responsible for measuring
This lesson is designed to create a 3D model and circle graph that will represent where water in different parts of the hydrosphere is located. The purpose is to get students thinking and problem
