Step-by-step instructions, with photos, of how to prepare an egg for a 'bungee jump' using a plastic bag and elastics, and a yard stick to measure the distance it falls each time it is dropped. The activity investigates the Law of...

Explore the autumn scene while learning math, literacy, and science at the same time! These fall-themed resources highlight ways to make traditional fall activities - like visiting the apple orchard, going on nature hikes, and collecting...

Sunspot activity has been monitored continuously since about 1700. The historical data shows that sunspot activity rises and falls in a roughly 11-year cycle. This project shows you how you can use both graphical and statistical analysis...

Create a traditional instrument called a rainstick in this activity.

A collection of mechanics activities. Many pertain to Newton's laws of motion. Step-by-step directions provided with illustrations. Great for teacher demos or student projects.

In this experiment, students build and calibrate a rain gauge and use it to measure and record how much rain falls in their local area each time it rains.

In this lesson plan, students make predictions about falling objects of different sizes and masses to learn about gravity and air resistance. Includes audio vocabulary list and extension activities.

In this activity, pour a salt-sand mixture into a CD case to notice how the particles separate themselves. Observe the effect known as granular convection as the smaller sand particles fall beneath the larger particles leaving a layered...

An activity exploring eddy currents by having a magnet fall through a metallic and nonmetallic tube.

Activity involves collecting leaves to compare green leaves with fall leaves that have changed color. Students will record data on an observation sheet.

After listening to excerpts from four of the violin concertos from "The Four Seasons" by Italian composer and violinist, Antonio Vivaldi, decide which excerpt was meant to go with which season, and also decide where the earth would be in...

Describes plants and animals that lived during the Ordovician Period, where it falls in the geologic time scale, tectonic activity happening then, the climate and environment, and extinction events.

By the end of this lesson, students will describe the weather for each season. They will also describe how the weather affects the plants, animals, and people during each season. Activities include taking a weather walk, charting daily...

Join PBS KIDS and explore the seasons: fall, winter, and spring! The lessons have been co-designed by museum and educational partners and feature many of your PBS KIDS friends. Introduce media clips, extension activities, articles, and...

This egg-drop simulation allows students to explore the variables that result in a safe landing or a broken egg. The emphasis of the accompanying activity sheet is on the use of science reasoning skills to understand the physics behind...

This site is a professor's guide for students. This guide features information on how to distinguish between Poe and his narrators in his stories.
