A'Planting We Will Go: This lesson is based on the book, The Tiny Seed, by Eric Carle. This story will be used to introduce the children to the concept that seeds change and grow into plants when conditions in the environment including temperature, light, water and soil are appropriate. Children will learn that plants produce seeds that can become new plants. Through extended activities, the children will experience first-hand the germination of seeds. They will become familiar with the parts of a plant and learn how each part works to produce a healthy plant.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 English Language Arts, Social Studies, English Language Development, and Mathematics); By Karol Schriber.

Chilly discoveries: Children will make ice cream and determine what makes this liquid turn into a solid.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 Mathematics and Science); By Allison Rollinson.

Chocolate! Chocolate! Chocolate!: Using chocolate as a theme, students will become involved in reading, writing, math, word study/spelling and other developmentally appropriate (integrated) activities. The unit includes centers for the classroom along with whole group activities.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 Mathematics); By Luwonna Oakes.

Grocery store matter: The lesson stimulates students' thought processes and makes students aware of the things around them by teaching them about the three kinds of matter and their properties.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 English Language Arts, Computer Technology Skills, Mathematics, and Science); By Indiana Jennette.

Measurement Centers: During a center based activity groups of students will rotate around the classroom practicing non-standard unit of measurement concepts. In addition, they will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with measuring with rulers and will participate in a lesson about capacity.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1–2 Mathematics); By Amy Kershaw.

Polar bears: Keeping warm at the Arctic: Students will learn about the polar bear's body coverings and how they help it to survive in the Arctic climate. The activities include a trip to the North Carolina Zoological park and a hands-on experiment to facilitate this goal, followed by reflection on and communication of what they have learned using a variety of media including art and literature.; Format: lesson plan (grade K–1 Mathematics and Science); By Sandy Hardin.

Twisters in a jar: The class will discuss the motion, causes and effects of a tornado. The student will also be able to name the safety steps one should take when a tornado occurs.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 Mathematics and Science); By Andrea Allen.

Whole language reading: Pumpkin pie baking activity: A whole language literature-based reading lesson that culminates in a cooking extension activity.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 English Language Arts and Mathematics); By Amy Durso.
