Students work on designing different bridges out of popsicle sticks.

Students will help create a fake classroom garden out of craft materials to help them understand the design of a plant. They will have to understand the different parts a plant and how to put the parts together to create a plant. Post-It (diigo would not let me place a post-it on this pdf page): Students can work in pairs to construct their plants (high ability with a low ability student). Advanced students could put labels on thier plants' parts. Students in higher grades could construct certain species of plants and descibe what makes their plant unique.

This activity deals with pressure and condensation by crushing a soda can with only air and water. Students can experiment with different variables like temperature of water or type of can.

Students can watch and observe the growth of crystals in this experiment. This investigation can be done as whole class or in groups.

This activity allows students to see the effects of a landslide on a small scale in the classroom. This is a neat experiment that looks easy to assemble and explain.

There's no better way to learn about metamorphosis than to observe the life cycle of a living creature up close. This activity allows students to see the life cycle of mealworms.

The activity allows students to compare and contrast different solids and liquids. There is also a cooking portion of the activity that can be done with maple syrup.

This activity allows students to create a floatable boat out of corks and toothpicks. They use the scientific method to design their boats.

Students make a garden view box where they can see plants grow below and above the surface of the soil.

Students go outside to measure the wind with objects found around the house. This activity would be good for a small group of students and an adult.

In this activity students compare the mass and volume of different liguids by pouring the liquids into the same container and seeing which ones are "heavier" and "lighter."

Students can build a water wheel and see the force of water in motion. They can also experiment with different forces and see how they affect the water wheel.

In this activity, a metal rod can be made to roll back to you automatically when pushed away. This activity deals with stored energy. The students can construct their own metal rods.

This activity helps show students how to divide whole numbers by fractions using graham crackers.

This activity uses everyday objects to find volume and area.

Here's a hands-on activity that classroom teachers use to help kids get a feel for equations and start building lifelong skills. Popsicle sticks are used to create different addition problems.

Guessing game similiar to hangman but with numbers for subtraction.

The purpose of this lesson is to help students mentally organize 19 shape names. The lesson is basically a reinforcing lesson-it should not be taught until after students have had some exposure to most of the shape names mentioned in this lesson.
