A nine-page physics resource supports your lesson on acceleration. A step-by-step lesson plan walks you through the materials you need, the background information, steps for leading experimentation, and the explanation of the results....

Investigate which items float and which ones sink using this resource.  Learners participate in an activity in which they investigate this phenomena. Then they describe the experimental process, and learn how to display their results.

Students experiment with varied balls to determine the bounce factor in centimeters. In this physics lesson, students experiment to find the height a ball must be dropped from the have the highest bounce rate. Students graph the results...

Young scholars explore the reaction rates of an enzyme-mediated reaction through experimentation. In small groups, they use everyday objects to demonstrate the effects of environmental variables on enzyme function. Students graph and...

Students investigate density using film canisters filled with different density materials and larger objects of varying density. In this density lesson plan, students discuss the concept of density and rank film containers from dense to...

Third graders compare the bouncing height of different types of balls. In this science lesson, 3rd graders explain the importance of repeated experimentation in science. They record their result and share them with the class.

Students are introduced to the concept of balance. In groups, they travel between eight stations in which they balance their own body and different types of balls. To end the lesson plan, they share which one was the hardest and the...

Students examine how to conduct simple investigations and use simple equipment to gather data.  In this magnet lesson students decide what types of objects are attracted to magnets. 

Fifth graders accurately measure the distance to eight points on an uneven surface by conducting a simulation of sattelite altimetry. They create a two-dimensional model of the simulated ocean surface by graphing data from the Radar Run...

Learners explore reaction rates of an enzyme-mediated reaction. They examine the effects of environmental variables on enzyme function. Students collect, graph, and analyze data relating to the reaction.

Students examine the concept of potential energy and see that it is the ability to do work.  In this energy activity students complete several activities on potential energy. 

Students make observations of a bouncing ball and study how it travels.  In this height lesson students complete a lab activity and describe and explain the motion of the ball.
