The stage is set for you to guide future physicists through three forceful activities about motion. In the first, learners experiment with rolling carts to discover how objects interact. In the second, they inspect images of an object in...

Pupils practice gathering, averaging, and graphing data. They practice converting measurements to the metric system. Students graph their results and present them to the class.

Young scholars discover the actual size and weight of many insects and animals. In this biology lesson, students investigate animals and insects to determine their actual weight and size. In groups, young scholars create an animal or...

Students explore mathematical operations while studying nutrition. In this physical fitness instructional activity, students explore calories, pulse rate, and the circulatory system. Students use mathematical data to create a healthy...

Students identify the factors affecting friction. In this physics lesson, students construct their own rocket car and race them. They graph the average speeds and discuss how lubricants affect friction between rubbing surfaces.

Fifth graders use metric measurement to study the amount a bison eats. In this measurement lesson, 5th graders watch a video about bison and discuss the amount of food they eat. Students weigh their food trays at lunch and complete a...

Students investigate where a new element would be located on the periodic table. In this isotope lesson, students find the mass of a new element, people mass. This number will be entered onto the periodic table of elements as the mass of...

Students explain how the elements are arranged in the periodic table. In this chemistry lesson, students determine the subatomic particles for certain elements. They research the physical and chemical properties of an element they chose.

Delve into graphing! The concepts covered begin with basic graphing basic coordinates and algebraic expressions on coordinate planes, and build up to graphing linear inequalities and equations. Learners solve and simplify various...

Students create an "art garment" incoporating personal writings and found quotes with images of life and dreams on a disposable or recycled garment. This lesson includes scoring rubric.

Students design and build a foam core house which has a light in each room. They demonstrate an understanding of series, parallel, and complex circuits. They complete a worksheet, in complete, sentences expressing these electrical concepts.

Learners investigate data about America's trash production. For this environmental lesson, students use statistics about what we throw away to create an art pie chart project called a "trash pizza."

Students read an article that explains the dangers of household bacteria. In this lesson, students explore items in a home that easily hold bacteria, then complete several activities to reinforce comprehension of the article.

Students create an exercise and nutrition program. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students use calculations of exercises plus their corresponding effects on the body and nutritional values of food to derive a health plan. Students...

Seventh graders analyze different types of graphs and answer questions related to each. In this math lesson, 7th graders organize a given diagram to make it easier to interpret. They discuss why they made such changes.

Students' identify and analyze the levels of organization and the emergent properties through experimentation. Students' apply the differences in the properties of a plant before and after it has been subjected to a kitchen blender.
