Students explore the concept of mass, and how it differs from weight. They also calculate their weight change as they ride up and down on an elevator. They record the changes in their weight as the elevator moves graph the collected data.

Is obesity a disease or just a preventable risk factor for other diseases? Scholars attempt to form their own opinions by reading a background of the issue and watching videos that explore the main pro and con arguments using an included...

Third graders engage in a instructional activity that is concerned with the estimate and approximation of different masses. They weigh different objects and compare the different measurements and then use a balance to compare them....

First graders explore number sense by participating in a measurement estimation activity. In this weight activity, 1st graders discuss the differences between measurement units, both English and Metric. Students examine a loaf of bread...

Students explore body mass index, calculate theirs, compare theirs to Canadian guidelines, and discuss possible reasons for being underweight.

Students investigate the ingredients and creation of chewing gum.  In this scientific method activity, students make predictions about what will happen to the mass of a piece of gum as it is chewed by a human.  Students graph...

Young scholars investigate Newton's Second Law of Motion as they predict the effect of a payload on the amount of energy needed to lift a rocket vertically. The constraints of the weight of the equipment carried to Mars is compared to...

Young scholars perform experiments to see if items will sink or float. In this sink or float instructional activity, students work in groups to make predictions, and record the results. After the experiments are complete young scholars...

Students discover the metric system through video clips and Internet activities. In this measurements lesson, students practice using the units of measure for the metric system and compare them to the less popular English system....

Students research Bowen's Reaction Series and recreate the process in an experiment which details the crystallization sequence of minerals that can be observed in nature.

Middle schoolers design an experiment to investigate how objects with different masses fall. In this physics lesson plan, students predict how these objects will fall in a vacuum tube. They write a report explaining experimental results...

Students discuss concept and specificity of habitats, both marine and terrestrial, list similarities and differences in the habitats of a kelp forest and a terrestrial forest, compare types of organisms that occupy corresponding types of...

Students use density to identify what metal a gold colored weight is made of. They use a spreadsheet to graph the experimental density of common metals and compare the know densities to their calculated density of the known metal.

Second graders examine the properties of liquids and their classifications. They compare and contrast cups of different liquids and record their findings in journals. Students observe how liquids flow at various speeds and that unlike...

Fourth graders study the equilibrium of internal forces in a main sequence star.
