Condensing water warms the air around it. Young scholars consider this concept as they experiment with air temperature around evaporating and condensing water vapor. They simulate the formation of clouds to experience the associated...

Students use a thermometer to analyze soil temperature data to determine which soil sample is normal, and which one is permafrost. In this permafrost lesson plan, students participate in a hands on activity where they identify the active...

Students investigate the skin surface to body area ratios for different animals.  In this seventh/eighth grade mathematics/science lesson plan, students explore heat transfer between an animal’s body and the environment.  Using...

Students make a water sampler and use proper techniques to collect water.They write a essay explaining the inter-relationship of factors such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, nitrates, and phosphates in a lake that might cause a...

Fourth graders perform activities that involve electronic measurements through probe software. Students collect data and create a variety of visual formats: graphs, charts, tables, and gauges. They compare and contrast their data to...

Young scholars measure the temperature change involved in the production of carbon dioxide by yeast. They also identify products and reactants in a chemical and balance the equation.

Students take a closer look at human skin. In this biology lesson plan, students describe the four functions of the skin as they complete a hands-on activity.

Seventh graders write observations of organisms based on both audio and video sources. They describe organisms which they view using appropriate adjectives.

In this lab, students explore how organisms are able to survive the extreme environmental conditions found in the Polar regions. Students observe and draw active living rotifers and Tardigrades, design and perform experiments to collect...
