Lesson Plans - By Subject

Signs of Autumn

This is a culminating activity on the study of photosynthesis, how chlorophyll is important to leaves, and why leaves change colors in the fall.

How Tall in the Fall?

Students use nonstandard measurement to measure. Students estimate to predict the correct length before they measure. Students count the correct number of objects used to measure.

Haiku Leaves

The students use prior knowledge and first-hand observations of the natural world around them to create their own Haiku poems. The final draft is put on handmade leaves (from construction paper) to create an autumn-theme classroom display.

FALL LEAF WATERCOLORS

Students will create a leaf scene using a variety of leaf patterns.

Autumn Leaves: Where does the color come from?

In Autumn most people enjoy colorful leaves, brought about by external stimuli. In this lesson students explore leaf pigmentation through chromatography.
