An artistic view of outer space: This is an art lesson easily integrated by art specialists or classroom teachers into any thematic unit that involves space, the solar system, or science fiction and is adaptable for students in grades 2 through 6. It incorporates the use of art materials such as oil pastels and compasses and the design concepts of shape and balance in a composition as well as providing the students with a fun and creative way to explore areas of geometry and science. This lesson is especially useful for classroom teachers who are aware of how art, when integrated into the classroom curriculum, can help students with different learning styles explore a variety of subjects in a way that will help them maximize the learning experience.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 and 6 Visual Arts Education, Mathematics, and Science); By Karen Canfield.

The Earth rotates through days: The students will be a part of a model showing how the Earth's rotation creates what we see as a sunrise and sunset every twenty-four hours.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Social Studies and Science); By Christine Shatto.
