Students discuss the impact of certain inventions. In this technology lesson, students research Thomas Edison and the light bulb on the Internet and discuss how the invention impacted society. Students create their own simple inventions.

Investigate light intensity, illuminance, and power consumption of different light source.Compare the efficiency of light bulbs then create a persuasive advertisement about it.

Students conduct a series of experiment on incandescent and fluorescent bulbs. In this physics lesson, students explain how they operate. They compare the efficiency and power rating of both bulbs.

A solar cell is similar to a rechargeable battery in many ways. Science lab groups connect each in a series circuit to run a mini motor and then compare and contrast them by answering questions and completing a Venn diagram. This is an...

Students examine the wattage of a light bulb using math. In this algebra lesson plan, students find the inverse square of given parameter. They work in groups collecting and analyzing data.

Learners compare and contrast Christmas with a variety of other holidays. They listen to the books "The Light of Christmas" and "Christmas," and generate a list about Christmas using Kidspiration computer software. Students discuss...

Learners explore the celebration of Christmas as part of an investigation into the multicultural experiences of celebrating holidays. The story written by Richard Paul Evans, "The Light of Christmas" provides the basis for the exploration.

Young scholars compare series and parallel circuits. In this electricity and circuits instructional activity, students roleplay as a "wire" passing an energy ball to demonstrate how a series circuit works and how the circuit can be...

Students explore global warming by conducting a weather experiment. For this greenhouse gas lesson, students define the greenhouse effect and the impact on our ozone layer. Students utilize a soda pop bottle, floodlight bulb,...

Learners use colored lights and fabric to study an underwater ocean scene. In this light study lesson, students draw a picture using colored markers and hypothesize what their drawing will look like using filters. Learners study fabric...

Students explore why when you examine the moon depends on its location in relationship to the sun and Earth. The moon never goes away or changes shape-we just see a different fraction of sunlight being reflected from the moon to Earth.

In this activity, students Create a timeline of historical events, Identify patterns of change, Interpret data in a timeline.In this activity, students use Inspiration to view progress over time as they develop timelines highlighting...

Students create a variety of simple, series and parallel electrical circuits to illustrate how electricity flows through different types of basic circuits.

Students make a model of the solar system. In this solar system instructional activity, students make paper mache models of the planets to hand in the classroom, measure the distance to each planet scaled with footsteps, and model the...
