The Miracle Fish: Learning to Design an Experiment
Learners develop procedures to explore the behavior of fish. In this scientific experiment lesson students from a hypothesis, write a question, identify different variables and controls in their experiment.
Curated OER
Cool Suits
Students examine the materials that are used to make space suits. They complete an experiment in which they test different materials in different colors to determine the best one for keeping astronauts comfortable. They analyze the data.

Yum - Yum!! - The Digestion Lesson
Learners explore the various components of the digestive system and learn about both the physical and chemical processes that work together to break down food into absorbable molecules.
Curated OER
Motions and Forces
Students explore motions, forces and magnetism. They investigate magnetism as a force and examine the construction of a magnet. Students examine the force that magnetism produces.
Curated OER
Water
Students examine water, its function and how much you should consume. In this water lesson plan students study water and why it is important, how much you should drink and what its functions are in your body.
Curated OER
Exploring With Photograms
Students observe the interaction between energy absorbed, reflected or transmitted through an object in a photochemical process with a classroom demonstration.
Curated OER
Sea Ice Research
Young scholars study sea ice and its importance in climate and climate change. They discuss sea ice as a presence of a food source for marine animals in the arctic and complete a lab activity. After completing the lab, they watch a...
