Young scholars research and define an atom using a concept map. They design and create a model of an atom, labelling all the parts, and write a journal entry.

Making models is always memorable. In this activity, physical science starters examine the structure of hydrocarbons using marshmallows, raisins, and toothpicks. They even act as atoms themselves and link arms to represent covalent...

Students identify the health risks associated with trans fats. In this adult health lesson plan, students examine food labels for hydrogenated oils content. They discuss the benefits and sources of omega-3s.

Students examine distribution of water and minerals. In this surface and groundwater lesson, students conduct an experiment with fresh and salt water making hypothesis and drawing conclusions about minerals. 

Learners create models of structural isomers, geometric isomers, and polymers.  In this chemistry lesson plan, students are given definitions and molecular model kits to create a variety of different isomers and polymers.

Students examine the solar system. In this space instructional activity, students identify the order of the planets and their relative size to the sun. Students create a scale model of our solar system using a variety of household objects.

Learners explore the concept of molecular modeling and differentiate between saturated and unsaturated compounds. In small groups, they identify molecular formulas, complete a chart comparing alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes, and construct...

Learners create a travel brochure, poster, and presentation to encourage others to visit a star. In this stellar characteristics lesson, students research a star type based on its life-cycle. They create a travel campaign to convince...
