Learners design a pumping device that will effectively pump fluid through a model "cardiovascular system." They explore the effects of too much and too little pressure on a circulatory system.

What a waste! The last installment of a nine-part technology/engineering series teaches learners about medical waste disposal systems. Conducting a simulation allows individuals to understand how monetary considerations constrain waste...

Using a pulse monitor, learners will measure a resting pulse, take a math test, and then measure the pulse again. They analyze the change in pulse and compare it to performance on the test. This multi-purpose lesson can be used in a...

A series of hands-on, outdoor activities increase understanding of agricultural terms, soil management, pest control, and more. Plan ahead for this one as it requires a number of supplies and could be messy. Activities include...

An all-encompassing, fully interactive, gorgeously animated model of the heart can be used to teach cardiac anatomy, physiology, and even a touch of epidemiology.

Learners discover that learning can be fun. Problem solving skills are developed through various writing skills. Empower students with personal concept development and time management. Document growth and success of the learner....

Fifth graders measure how long it takes to make cookies. In this measuring time lesson, 5th graders explore how to manage time. Students decide when to start making breakfast on time, how to calculate playing time into their lunch time,...

Students describe what stormwater and storm drains are. They explain reasons for having stormwater management system. They describe nonpoint source pollution and identify causes and impacts of it.

Students examine the effect stress due to test anxiety may have on the heart. As part of the experiment, students hypothesize, collect data, graph data, analyze data and formulate an understanding of their personal level of stress and...

Students explore the cardiovascular system. In this human body lesson, students observe blood flow and study cardiovascular diseases and how they affect the human body system.

Students explore the brain. In this science instructional activity, students create a model of the brain and discuss steps taken in order to protect the brain. Students design a container that would protect the brain from injury....

Livestock managers reinforce math and science skills while learning about the nutrients found in manure. They predict which animal produces the largest amount and which animal's manure contains the most nitrogen. Finally, they compare...

The Crusades sounds like a glamorous time period in the Middle Ages full of glory—but was it? Scholars find and review the truth of the Crusades' influence on the world through the resource. The study guides, separated individually by...

Learners apply basic time management skills to their lifestyle and implement study skills. Also, they should be able to implement management techniques in their daily lives as well. Students list activities and assignments and determine...

North is to factory as South is to plantation—the perfect analogy for the economy that set up the Civil War! The first lesson in a series of five helps teach beginners why the economy creates a driving force for conflict. Analysis of...

Young scholars identify and analyze the concept of integrated resource management. Then they identify the importance of computers in manufacturing management. Students also identify and define the meaning of acronyms such as CAD, CAM,...

Students develop a model to visually observe the change in blood flow rates between healthy and unhealthy arteries. They calculate data that they have collected and graph their results. They determine the relationships the flow of...

Students use wireless laptop computers to collect, store, communicate, and organize data from the 1999 Jasper Fire area. They collect data in the field and compare it to student-collected data from prior years to develop conclusions...

Students research storm preparedness in their community. They interview city officials to determine the current emergency plans, warning systems, etc. Students write an analysis of the situation.

Chemistry neophytes use a temperature probe to assess the change as five different liquids evaporate. The implantation section suggests that they take readings every five seconds for a total of four minutes. They graph the data, look up...

Students experiment with the sense of touch. In this tactile lesson, students determine the most sensitive area of the hand. Students experiment by describing objects through touch only. Students compare the amount of sensory data...

Students design and conduct experiments in order to identify the components of lake water environments that are affected by winter ice cover. They use the experiment results to propose effective human management of these ecosystems.

Students identify basic pest they find in the school yard. They discover and examine pest control. They also explain the benefits and risks of pests. High school students present a short lesson plan to third graders.

Students investigate unit conversion.  In this unit conversion lesson, students will build models of square and cubic centimeters using grid paper and generate formula tables for converting units of area and volume.  The tables...
