An integrated lesson comparing the butterfly and frog life cycles: Students will build on their prior knowledge about the butterfly life cycle to compare and contrast the life cycles of butterflies and frogs. Students will locate butterflies on the school grounds and create pictographs and models of fractions to explain their findings mathematically. Students will also use a variety of resources to read about and study the food, space and air needed by butterflies and frogs to grow. They will create visual and written products to demonstrate their findings.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 English Language Arts, English Language Development, Mathematics, and Science); By Martha Dobson and Margaret Monds.

M & M cafe: Students will be divided into small groups and be required to come up with two balanced meals and one unbalanced meal using breakfast, lunch and dinner.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 English Language Arts, Healthful Living Education, and Mathematics); By Barbara Money.

Nutrition and the media: Cereal box consumerism: This lesson will offer your students the opportunity to explore nutrition and how the media impacts our consumer decisions. Students will design a cereal box and read about how the use of color, slogans, and prizes impacts buyers. This lesson plan is easily adapted for exceptional children and can be expanded and/or adapted to suit your students' needs.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2–4 English Language Arts, Healthful Living Education, and Mathematics); By Gloria Simmons.

Sorting Seeds: This lesson will engage students in manipulating, sorting, counting, and graphing seeds. The students will be involved in the creation of a graph using the computer.; Format: lesson plan (grade 2 Mathematics and Computer Technology Skills); By Mary Jackson.

Amazing Attributes: Looking Back and Moving Forward: In this lesson, the last of a nine-part Illuminations unit titled “Amazing Attributes: Sorting and Organizing Objects,” teachers ensure that students have grasped the major concepts in this unit on sorting and organizing.
