Global Climate Change and Sea Level Rise
Ice is nice, and its condition on the planet has a significant effect. Junior geoscientists experiment with ice melting in both water and on land to discover how each affect the rising sea level. This detailed instructional activity...
Curated OER
Water
Students conduct a series of investigations on the unique properties of water. In this general science lesson, students explain what causes water's surface tension. They explain the different stages in the water cycle.
Curated OER
Exploring Buoyancy
Young scholars use materials found at a resource table to design simple devices that will house instruments to take water samples from a tub of water. They design 3 instruments, each varying in density so that one will float, one will...

Do You See What Icy?
Here is a lesson that kicks off with a question. "How does ice floating on the ocean act as it melts?" As learners investigate this natural phenomenon, they'll discover that it has a lot to do with temperature, salinity, and the effect...
Curated OER
Can You Make A Penny Float?
Students explore the concept of density by trying to make a penny and other materials float.
Curated OER
New Jersey Estuaries
Students experiment to discover that salt water is denser than fresh water by creating color coded solutions. They examine how heavy rainstorms and high tides develop layers of different degrees of density.
Curated OER
Soil Analysis Lesson Plan
Students practice calculating density and examine examples of the physical characteristics of soil. They solve a "crime" based on the evidence and laboratory investigations.
Curated OER
Applied Science - Science and Math Post-Lab
Students explore optical illusions. In this Applied Science lesson, students view optical illusions and record the data of what they see. Students graph the data that they collect.
Curated OER
Motion in Fluids
Young scholars explore physical science by participating in a science activity. In this liquids lesson, students discuss how fluids can be affected by motion unlike solids. Young scholars define other scientific vocabulary terms and...
Curated OER
Applied Science - Built Environment Pre Lab (Morse Code)
Students study communication. In this telegraph activity, students examine Morse code and the composition of an elementary telegraph circuit. They listen to a presentation and try to create Morse Code messages on a worksheet. This...
Curated OER
The Sun as the Driving Force of the Water Cycle
Learners study the water cycle and how the sun is an important factor. In this water cycle lesson plan students investigate how to desalinate water and explore the different densities of fresh versus saltwater.

Plankton Parents
Plankton are so abundant in the ocean they outweigh all of the animals in the sea. In this three day activity, groups discuss and become familiar with plankton, capture females, and look for egg production on day three.
Curated OER
Icebergs Ahead!
Students examine icebergs and how they are suspended in water, why ice floats, the melting process of an iceberg, and the floating behavior of ice compared to that of a cork through a lab activity.
Curated OER
Determining Acids and Bases
Students use purple cabbage indicator to test five know substances for acidic/alkaline balance. They discuss the safety precautions required both inside and outside a lab in handling acids and bases.
Curated OER
Hot air Balloons
Students study how hot air balloons were created and the different types there are. In this density and lift lesson students build their own hot air balloon.
Curated OER
What is Matter?
Students investigate what matter is and how it changes states. In this physical properties instructional activity, students examine the vocabulary database and identify the characteristics of the three phases of matter. Students...
Curated OER
Water Layering and Circulation
Young scholars examine relationships and interactions between different types of water. They experiment with colored water of different temperature and salinity and discuss how the results relate to real ocean currents.
Curated OER
Sports Helmets and Impact Testing of Polymers
Students examine the importance of good quality safety gear. In this investigative instructional activity, students will tests various polymers, collect data, and analyze the data to determine which polymer is best for safety helmets....
Curated OER
Hitler's Lost Sub
Students watch a video clip about German submarines lost during World War II. They work together to create their own submarine out of a plastic bottle. They test the buoyancy of the submarine in different activities.
Curated OER
Leaf Chromatography
You can bring science alive for students with these lessons on leaf pigments.
Curated OER
Alternative Energy
Students discover the different alternative fuel sources. In this biology instructional activity, students identify the different stages of the carbon cycle. They explain the pros and cons of using alternative energy.
Curated OER
Time to lend NASA a hand
In this measurement worksheet, students complete an experiment answer questions about how they measure the units of volume, temperature, and mass of certain objects. Students answer 5 questions.
Curated OER
Identifying Elements
Young scholars use diffraction glasses to find similarities and differences between observed spectrum of fluorescent light and an incandescent light They work in groups of 4-6 for the experiment/activity part of this exercise.
Curated OER
Overpopulation
Students examine population growth and how it impacts our environment. In this population lesson plan students identify the causes and consequences of overpopulation.
