In this word search worksheet, students search and locate words as they relate to energy. Words can be found forward, backward, up, down and diagonally.

Students discuss energy. In this energy challenges instructional activity, students read about greenhouse gas emissions and global climate change. Comprehension questions from the reading are provided. 

Weathering is not necessarily a result of the weather. Scholars conduct an experiment to explore the effect of surface area and volume on the weathering process. They create their own sugar cube rocks using the same number of cubes—but...

Young scholars explore renewable and non-renewable energy sources, discuss how each source was created, and identify and sketch out the cycle of energy for each renewable source.

Students explore energy by participating in controlled electricity experiment. For this static electricity lesson, students identify the different sources that can create energy and how static electricity can be created very easily on...

In this teacher website, teachers have access to various worksheets and lesson plans at no cost. Teachers can select from all subject areas for lesson plans, activities, and available resources.

Students actively listen to an overview of the electric power industry in the United States. In this electric power lesson, students learn about energy sources and how they effect the environment.

Students explore the uses of insulation and describe how insulation helps to conserve energy. They work in groups and use plastic, wool, paper and aluminum to experiment with the heat-retaining properties of various materials.

Learners examine how wind energy is transformed into electrical energy. In pairs, they build miniature wind turbines and measure how much electrical current they produce. They asses the importance of design and position in energy...

Learners explain the relationship between magnetism and electricity. In this physics lesson plan, students describe the transformation of energy. They create an electromagnet and investigate the factors affecting its strength.

Third graders observe light as a form of energy, that it can be reflected/bounced, refracted/bent and absorbed. They explore how different types of light affect our lives as a whole. Songs are researched that involve light (ex. "You...

Learners explore how oil pollutes the oceans. In this science lesson, students investigate various materials that could be used to clean up an oil spill. Learners discuss which materials worked best and how humans can reduce oil spills.

Sources of light, and the reflection of light off of objects, are the focus of this brief and simple science activity. Learners must trace the path that light takes which enables a boy to read a book. A suggested activity is to have the...

Students study the stages of development of an unknown organism. For this zebrafish lesson, students examine and collect data as they use microscopes to view a zebrafish embryo.

Students explore the challenges of living in space by designing a facility that can provide everything required to support humans and can protect them from the harsh environment of space.

Students determine

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.

In this static electricity learning exercise, students read through 3 pages of text about static electricity and its components to learn about how electricity works.

Young scientists know it is hotter along the equator, but why is it also rainier? Through the process of completing two experiments and a worksheet, scholars discover the answer is the intertropical convergence zone. First, they...

Learners investigate a scenario involving the efficient use of wind power. They are challenged to ten grams of cargo a specified distance using only wind power.

Use this multidisciplinary instructional activity to delve into these subjects: English language arts, math, science, drama, and character education. After reading, discussing, and making interpretations about Go To Sleep, Gecko!: A...

This PowerPoint provides a game show format with multiple choice questions about fresh and salt water. Topics include sources of water, water geography, uses of water, and the water cycle.

Students explore renewable energy by analyzing a diagram. In this fossil fuel lesson, students view a chart explaining the different energy consumption from automobiles and how they impact our environment. Students analyze a point based...

Students observe water birds feeding at a local wetland, record what they see, and construct an appropriate menu for a "Waterfowl Cafe." They also play a "flocking" game.
