High schoolers work in groups to write and produce a video on laboratory safety. They use video equipment correctly and effectively work in groups. They develop basic acting skills with the help of peers and drama teacher.

Get things moving with this extensive collection of physical science resources. Covering the fundamentals of measurement, graphing, lab safety, and experimental design as well as the specific scientific concepts...

Students identify safety practices in the lab. In this lab safety lesson plan, students create a poster showing students working safely. They explain the importance of observing safety in the lab.

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 investigate social behavior patterns of primates. Next, students research a specific primate-analyzing individual and group behavior patterns particular to the species. They create informational posters and present findings to...

Students create a safety podcast. For this safety lesson, students in a robotics lab are introduced to the safety rules for each station. They create a podcast about one station explaining the rules with video, graphics, voice and sound...

Students conduct a variety of exploration activities on various science topics. In this science lesson outline, students design a cell encapsulation to hold a specific type of medicine. They give examples of physical and chemical...

Students examine and practice science laboratory safety rules. In groups, they discuss ways to illustrate the rules. Students plan and record videos demonstrating the safety rules.

Students investigate the carbon dioxide content of different sodas. In this chemistry instructional activity, students explain why PET containers are preferable than HDPE for soda bottles. They collect data and graph them.

High schoolers use recyclable trash to construct a Recycle Critter family. They calculate the probability of the phenotype of the offspring that two heterozygous parents produced.

High schoolers brainstorm possible causes for motor vehicle accidents involving teen drivers. In this biology activity, students study national data regarding teen driving behaviors. They create awareness materials to help promote safe...

Students use eggs, cooking oil, foam balls and more to create a simulation of the brain and record what happens in each step. In this brain lesson plan, students learn about protecting the brain, the brain's ability to learn, and reflexes.

Learners investigate how geologic sequestration reduces carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere. In this earth science lesson, students simulate oil mining in the lab. They write down their observations and complete the lab report...

Explore genetically modified foods through various experiments. In this biology lesson plan, high schoolers discuss the safety issues related to GMF's. They conduct a PCR analysis to identify the presence of genetic modification.

Students create a bird feeder to form their technological skills and create a better bond with nature. For this nature lesson plan, students use websites, technology, brainstorm ideas, and build models.

Students conduct Internet research on the different parts of the skeletal system. Then they create a model arm that demonstrates how muscle and bone work together to create movement.

Students are divided into 6 groups with each group rotating to a different lab. The labs can be run over the course of a few days; or spread out for a longer period of time.

Students build efficient electrophoresis systems for less than $15.00 each and use them to demonstrate electrophoresis ability of stain molecules and materials such as DNA.. They know that electrophoresis is a technique used for the...

Students define what a redox reaction is. In this chemistry lesson, students electroplate some wires in the lab. They research the application of electroplating in the real world.

Students observe exothermic reactions in the lab using plaster. In this chemistry lesson, students collect data from their experimental set up every five minutes. They explain the different stages in the hardening of plaster.

Open this instructional activity by giving a brief history of ice cream. Using liquid nitrogen to lower the temperature, preteens make their own confection. The accompanying activity sheet queries learners about freezing point, the...

Young scholars analyze the factors affecting organisms in the pond ecosystem. In this environmental science lesson, students perform an experiment to determine pH, nutrients and temperature of different pond sites. They present their...

Students investigate the effects of UV radiation. For this earth science lesson, students explain how the time of day relate to UV abundance on Earth. They determine if weather affects the amount of UV that Earth receives.

Students explore what chemical indicators are and use pH paper to determine if something is alkaline or basic.  In this pH lesson students manufacture their own soap.
