- 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 K–1 English Language Arts and Mathematics)
- By Luwonna Oakes.
- Data gathering - Linear regressions
- In groups of three, students gather data by experiment or observation in one of nine activities. Each group models the data they gathered, creates a display, and presents results to the class using an overhead projector.

- By Judy Pickering.
- Fluid Properties and scale models: Applying the Reynolds Number
- In A mathematical model to describe fluid behavior, page 3
- During this lesson, students will gain a more realistic understanding of the use of scale models and understand that conditions beyond similarity of the objects are necessary for a scale model to function in the same manner as the actual object. The students will gain knowledge of how the properties of fluids, specifically density and viscosity, affect the movement of fluid around objects.

- By Jenny Rucker.
- Graphing and measurement go hand-in-hand
- Students learn how to use customary measurement using inches or centimeters and data collection and graphing simultaneously. Students will measure the length of their foot, arm span, hand span, or head circumference to the nearest centimeter or inch. Next they will collect and represent their data by constructing a graph.

- A mathematical model to describe fluid behavior
- Middle school students will learn how to use math to model and predict natural phenomena. Through hands-on labs, students will explore the behavior and effects of fluid in and around objects and organisms. Students will investigate and create fluid transport systems and gather data to calculate natural frequencies. Using scale models to gain a better understanding, they will use data to predict real-life effects on trees and other structures.

- Plant power
- Students will plant their own seeds in potting soil and measure plant growth. Before the students' plants are visible above the soil, students will explore the parts and functions of classroom plants and compare growth between the classroom plants. Using the weather channel website, students will predict whether the day's weather conditions are excellent, good, or poor for plant growth.

- Project Groundhog
- The students will determine the groundhog prediction of either six more weeks of winter or an early spring and see if the prediction was accurate by recording daily weather data for six weeks. Over that six week period the students will be comparing their weekly data with schools around the USA and Canada using the Project Groundhog website.

- Solar energy hot box
- This hands-on science lesson is great because it allows students to get out of their seats and move about, as well as allows students to work in cooperative groups. The teacher is more of a facilitator and students are more in charge of their own learning processes.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 5 Science)
- By Nicole Albright.
- Solid graphing
- The students will review solid figures using a baggie of assorted snack mix (cones, cubes, cylinders, and spheres) and will begin a vertical bar graph showing the number of each solid figure in a bag of assorted snack mix.
