Students demonstrate the scientific method by conducting an ice cube melting experiment. They make predictions and observations, and conclude what factors make ice melt more slowly or quickly than normal.

Students use the scientific method to determine physical and chemical properties of unknown substances. In this scientific method lesson plan, students discuss chemical and physical properties of substances as a class after a...

Learners perform factoring on the TI. In this algebra lesson, learners factor equations using the FOIL method. They use the TI navigator to show each step using a visual.

Students utilize the scientific method to design a way for a balloon to be suspended between the floor and the ceiling.

If you can multiply multi-digit integers, you can multiply polynomials. Learners use an area model to compare multiplying numbers to multiplying polynomials. They progress to using the distributive property. 

Students use the scientific method to design a slow cooker.  In this experimental method lesson plan students measure temperatures and conversions of the solar cooker that they create.

Students classify, add, subtract, and factor polynomials. In this polynomials lesson, students classify polynomials by creating their own system. During a discussion, the class decides on a common system. They add and subtract...

Leaf toughness can add to its herbivore appeal. Learns design an experiment to quantify leaf toughness and then perform their procedures. They follow the experiment with a set of questions that ask them to think about how leaf toughness...

Students test the stickiness of natural substances. In this adhesion as a property of matter instructional activity, students build a tool to test the adhesion of natural "glues" such as honey, peanut butter, flour and water paste, and...

Students describe three methods of obtaining food: scavenging, filter feeding, and hunting. They describe three methods of obtaining food: scavenging, filter feeding, hunting, and list at least two reasons why humans are not considered...

Students learn how to count animal populations by the Mark and Recapture method. In this counting animal populations lesson plan, students begin by predicting amounts of different candies in a jar. Students then simulate using beans, two...

Students investigate rock formation through cementation, compaction and evaporation. In this rock formation lesson plan, students simulate the process of evaporation, cementation and compaction in the lab. Students explain the formation...

Students demonstrate the process of science by posing questions and investigating phenomena through language, methods and instruments of science as they experiment at four teacher-created stations to explain the fundamentals of magnetism.

Students use cardboard and aluminum foil to construct a solar oven that concentrates enough sunlight to cook a hotdog. They review the history and use of solar energy in relation to the Olympics.

Students factor trinomials using specific factoring methods. For this algebra lesson, students factor equations using the difference of squares and foiling. They play a game to enhance their understanding of factoring.

Students explore environmental awareness by participating in a recycling activity. In this sustainability lesson, students identify methods in which things can be reused, such as paper. Students utilize aluminum foil, a bowl, water,...

Students factor trinomials. In this algebra lesson, students use special patterns and formulas to factor. They utilize algebra tiles as a hands-on method for gaining practice with trinomials.

Students factor binomials and apply it. In this algebra lesson, students use patterns to factor difference of squares and FOIL to factor other binomials. They apply the concept of binomials to vertical multiplication.

Students study how matter changes from solids to liquids or liquids to solids. In this physical science lesson, students discuss heat energy and experiment with heat by changing a candle into a liquid using a hot plate.

Students use two methods to show and study the colors in the visible spectrum.

Young scholars factor polynomial functions. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems through factoring and distribution of the negative sign correctly.

Learners design and execute a lab through which they study the distinctions between density, buoyancy, and volume.

Students examine the physical properties of waves to explore the word crest and trough. They use toys to study waves in air, water and light.

Students calculate the calories in a Brazil nut and the calories needed for daily intake. In this calories lesson plan, students use calorimetry to measure the change in water temperature heated by the burning of a Brazil nut. They also...
