Students consider their perceptions of the world through their 5 senses while visiting the West Virginia State Museum. In this West Virginia history lesson, students discover how knowing about the past helps with their understanding of...

Young scholars observe the behavior of different charged objects. In this science lesson, students perform a series of static electricity experiments. They discuss their observations in class.

Sixth graders observe the physical and chemical change that can occur in an acid and a base. For this acids and bases lesson plan, 6th graders use cabbage juice to identify, compare, and contrast acids and bases.

Students engage in a lesson that explores the concept of simple machines. They view a powerpoint media presentation and then are introduced to adult volunteers for the lesson. Each volunteer is at a station with a simple machine and...

Sixth graders use prior knowledge to create a tri-fold study guide using Microsoft Publisher (if available). They include real world examples that show balanced and unbalanced forces, kinetic and potential energy, and vocabulary. The...

Young scholars explore wind power as a renewable resource.  In this wind power lesson students build models of wind turbines and experiment with different changes to see if it increases efficiency. 

Students identify Newton's Laws of Motion. They students explore Newton's Laws of Motion and apply the second law with a classroom activity. The videos will provide visual examples of the effects of gravity while riding on a roller coaster.

Students use marbles to conduct experiments on movement of objects and explore Newton's three laws of motion. In this motion lesson plan, students use marbles, tubing, foam, paper cups, and more.

Pupils investigate basic information about high- and low-pressure fronts and how they affect the weather. They observe weather patterns and cloud formations. Students study the basic pattern of movement of high- and low-pressure weather...

Students use baking soda, vinegar, matches, and other materials to pour gas. In this air lesson plan, students use the materials to pour gas and learn that air can be a fluid like a liquid.

Students investigate landforms by holding a class experiment. In this topography lesson plan, students define the word "karst" and discover why sinkholes are created on the surface of the Earth by completing worksheets. Students create a...

Students examine dangerous weather by researching tornadoes.  For this extreme weather lesson, students identify the states included in Tornado Alley.  Students create a virtual tornado using 2 plastic bottles.

Learners participate in an observational hike to study the natural surroundings.  In this observational hike lesson, students hike through a state park and observe the plant and animal life.  Learners learn about appropriate...

Students investigate how fuel amount affects the distance traveled by balloons. In this physics lesson plan, students collect data and create a pictograph. They interpret data and formulate a conclusion.

Learners examine the role photosynthesis plays in plant survival.  In this renewable energy lesson students document their observations and analyze and interpret their results. 

Students design a poster about indoor air quality. In this indoor air quality lesson, students make a billboard that tells the occupants of a building about at least one air quality problem.
