Seventh graders identify variables and controls in a paper airplane investigation. In this scientific method instructional activity, 7th graders conduct an experiment to determine the variables that affect the flight of paper airplanes....

Graph and solve linear equations in two variables. The class relates the concepts of linear equations to the real world.

Everything you need to teach a lesson on two variable linear equations is right here. Objective, vocabulary, tech tips videos, and multiple downloadable files are all included. Learners will use the TI-Nspire technology to determine the...

Help your class come up with a procedure for comparing the dissolving rates of colored candy coating in different temperatures of water. If you are placing importance on controlled variables with your class, make sure that they use equal...

Students evaluate a hypothetical experimental design and attempt to improve upon it. In this scientific method lesson, students are presented with an experiment and are instructed to determine its flaws. They conduct their own...

Students predict and test different variables that would effect sugar cubes dissolving in water. In this dissolving lesson plan, students have 4 petri dishes with 4 different variations of sugar cubes and water. They predict which will...

Here is an engaging lesson on solving equations with two variables. Have the class rewrite linear equations in the slope intercept form, y=mx + b. They graph the lines using the slope and y-intercepts.

Middle schoolers examine the effects of variables. They view a video which introduces the concepts, take part in an internet-based activity, then engage in a hands-on activity which allows them to practice what they have been studying.

Students identify and apply the scientific method through an experiment with popcorn. Then they identify what independent, dependent, and control variables are and create a list of different variables that affect popcorn popping....

Students reseach the different types of soil erosion and ways to control it in this series of activities.

High schoolers solve equations by writing expressions. In this algebra lesson, students identify the different values for each variable. They use the navigator to see how to solve equations.

The scientific method keeps you from believing only what you want to believe — it expands your mind. The lesson introduces the eight steps in the scientific process and how to design an experiment to biology scholars. Live insects...

Collaborative groups connect resistors and solar panels in series and measure electrical resistance, voltage, and current. The objective is to order 16 solar panels from strongest to weakest. They graph current-voltage and power curves...

Students experiment to determine which bottle of soda has more dissolved carbon dioxide. In this solutions lesson, students use the scientific method to test the amount of carbon dioxide in bottles of soda. They identify and explain the...

Fifth graders utilize basic physics concepts to calculate speed of an object set in motion from various heights. In this basic physics instructional activity, 5th graders make observations, calculations, record data, and conclusions...

Students design an experiment to change the motion of a rolling marble. In this designing an experiment lesson plan, students form a research question, they develop a hypothesis and they design an experiment using a graphic organizer to...

Students experiment with point graphs. In this math lesson, students are divided into groups and perform an experiment to see how high a ball bounces, recording their results on a point graph. Students then answer provided questions.

Students solve equations with variables on both sides of the equations. In this algebra lesson, students use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to solve problems. They combine like terms and identify the unknown.

High schoolers investigate perimeter patterns formed by a hexagon and a triangle. They will identify the dependent and independent variable and write a function for the relationship.

Ninth graders conduct experiments to determine what affects the rate of a pendulum's swing. Working in small groups, they identify an independent variable to study and create an experiment to test their hypothesis. When tests are...

Students watch a video show how to identify the independent variable, dependent variable and controls in an experiment; and design experiments that use controls to isolate a single independent variable and measure the resulting dependent...

Students conduct an experiment to determine which style of tape will stick the best.  In this controlled experiment lesson, students predict which tape will stick best to a marble that rolls over it, then they conduct the experiment...

Middle schoolers study what an experiment is comprised of and how to be successful when doing an experiment.  In this experimental lesson students design their own experimental investigation and answer questions.

Pupils experiment bubbles. In this scientific method lesson, students identify variables used in proper experiment design. Pupils conduct experiments with different brands of dish-washing detergent to determine which brand makes the most...
