After learning how to dentify information on energy and its conservation. your class can work in groups to create an activity and lesson plan for elementary young scholars, teaching all about energy and its conservation. Students...

Students design their own energy conservation lesson plan to teach elementary school students. They use this lesson to determine if they would like to pursue a teaching career

Students explore how math can be used to calculate and analyze how electricity causes air pollution. Students design a campaign to educate family members on ways they can save electricity. They create a graph that compares two electric...

Solar energy is an amazing alternative ... but, not always particularly portable! Challenge young scientists to a folding solar panel build-off with an easy-to-execute activity. Scholars brainstorm around specific design needs, construct...

Young scholars design an environmentally friendly home.  In this middle school math/science lesson, students watch videos on creating green design.  Young scholars work in collaborative groups to determine what makes a house...

Young scholars explore how energy is wasted at home and at work and develop a program to save energy in a specific area.

Heat things up in your physical science class with this interactive lesson series on thermodynamics. Through a series of class demonstrations and experiments, young scientists learn how heat is transferred through conduction,...

Students build and compare models of both an energy inefficient and efficient classroom. In this energy efficiency lesson, students creatively use recycled materials to build two separate classroom models. They factor in concepts such as...

Students play together and learn together. In this early childhood lesson plan, students partake in any of the 10 listed here in order to explore healthful activities and foods.

How do the changing seasons affect the homes where we live? This question is at the forefront of engineering and design projects. Challenge your physical science class to step into the role of an architect to build a model home...

Students examine current school energy use and focus on energy saving measures that could be implemented. In this energy lesson, students are also encouraged to raise awareness of energy saving practices and behaviors throughout the...

Middle schoolers redesign their school to make it more energy efficient, and create a model of their design. Learners get together in groups of 5, and they take on the task of making their school more energy efficient. To do this, they...

Students examine the world of nature. In this early childhood lesson plan, students develop observation skills as they bird-watch and make rainbows, experimentation skills as they explore seeds and carrots, prediction skills as they...

Students research about energy related topics. In this earth science lesson, students discuss ways to save energy. They create a presentation about their research and share it with the class.

Learners explain why the number of appliances used today differs greatly from the number used previously. They construct a bar graph to show changes in appliance use over a period of time. They also list appliances that could be eliminated.

Students design and build a model solar energy home. In this technology lesson, students test the efficiency of their model houses by measuring temperature at regular intervals. They analyze data and share results with the class.

Fifth graders prepare five activities to do then show their energy saving skills.  In this investigative lesson plan students create five projects then participate in an energy saving demonstration. 

Students examine climate change, the greenhouse effect, and their attitude about the environment. They examine how green they are by taking a quiz and investigate recycling activities by participating in a game. Finally, they design...

Students relate recycling to waste reduction. In this science lesson, students talk about the environment and how recycling certain natural resources actually saves on energy.  They also discuss what type of recycling causes...

Students investigate the recycling process. In this recycling lesson, students read the article The Recycling Process After Collection and discuss the advantages of recycling. As an extension activity, students simulate the molding of...

Students explore how the amount of sunlight and heat change in areas that are shaded.

Students demonstrate how water flows by building a human watershed using themselves. In this ecology lesson, students compare and contrast point-source and non-point source pollution. They write what they have learned from this activity...
