Students develop the idea that heat is a form of energy which moves from hot objects to cold ones.

Students identify the benefits of the process of land reclamation. They discuss examples of reclamation projects, and complete a word puzzle, word find, and energy sentence puzzle.

Students explore the ways that plants adapt to their environments. They examine plants that thrive in the shade, versus plants that thrive in direct sunlight. Special attention is devoted to the shape of leaves on respective sun and...

Pupils discuss the similarities between the Earth's atmosphere and a greenhouse. In this science lesson, students make their own greenhouses out of plastic bottles and thermometers. Pupils record the temperature different times of the...

Students observe yeast fermentation using different energy source. In this chemistry lesson, students measure the gas collected in the balloon. They upload their observations on the internet so they can share it with kids across US.

Students record the daily outdoor temperature as well as the number of minutes of sunlight per day over a determined period. They calculate the average temperature and minutes of sunlight per day and post their data on the project website.

Students complete various activities related to mining and mining safety. They write an energy sentence, complete a word puzzle, cut and glue safety equipment on a mining character, solve a math code word puzzle, and complete a maze...

In this transportation worksheet, learners cut out the pictures and place them in the correct category based on wheels, school transportation, energy, and energy. Students then make up their own category.

Students conclude that magnets and magnetic fields can produce electricity. Students also understand how a small motor works and how gears work. Students describe how energy can transform along a pathway.

Students examine the energy saving benefits of trees. They identify ways in which trees reduce air pollution. They also work together to solve problems related to pollution.

Students learn how all living things in an ecosystem are connected in some way. By building their own "web" your class look at energy flow through the food web system and how environmental changes disrupt the system.

Students explore the main concepts of astronomy through the eleven lessons of this unit. The past, present, and future methods of studying the science are examined in this unit.

In this science experiment worksheet, learners record a check next to the 10 plants that they plan on growing in containers. Students place their containers in full sunlight.

Learners discuss ways in which grown ups can save energy, money and the Earth in preparation for sending out Earth Day e-cards. They make an Earth Day action list.

Learners use a software program to create a food web. Using the web, they identify the path of energy using arrows and label organisms as either producers or consumers. They show and explain their food web to the class.

Students explore ways in which food provides energy and materials for our bodies.

Students explore physics. In this science instructional activity, students discuss physics in their everyday lives. Students complete a physics worksheet.

Students observe a model of a waterwheel to investigate the transformations of energy involved in turning the blades of a hydro-turbine into work. They work as engineers to create a model for a new waterwheel while considering resources,...

What does it mean to grow? To germinate? For the plan detailed here, class members investigate the growth process of an oak tree while focusing on the beginning stages of planting and germination. They plant seeds and record observations...

Students use a battery, wires, small light bulb and a light bulb holder to learn the difference between an open circuit and a closed circuit, and understand that electric current only occurs in a closed circuit. They describe the...

Students examine musical instruments as main part of the study of sound energy. In this designing instruments lesson plan, students focus on the elements of an instrument that cause sound to be created and design a unique musical...

Students investigate how food provides energy for the human body. In this physical health lesson, students access online resources to identify how certain foods can affect their health. Students discuss how many servings of each food...
