Students conduct a webquest on an energy source they chose. In this physics lesson plan, students design an experiment to determine the factors affecting potential and kinetic energy. They calculate speed and create distance vs. time...

Sixth graders examine how to make line graphs.  In this Olympic line graph lesson students make line graphs and search the given Internet sites to find data on their summer Olympic Game. 

Fifth graders give examples of objects that move slow and fast. For this physics lesson, 5th graders rank animals according to how quickly they move. They create a bar graph of organisms versus rates of speed.

Students list their favorite cars and create graphs of their favorites. Students determine how the graphs would change as their choices change.

Young scholars utilize computer programs to operate a simple robot.  In this technology lesson plan, students create robots using Lego pieces and simple motors to move them.  Young scholars measure the speed of the robots by...

Second graders, working in cooperative groups, will create a multimedia presentation about the Earth's moon. Their research must be presented through three or more methods. (i.e. charts; graphs; oral reports; multi-media; dramatic role...

Sixth graders draw a habitat and write about what they would need to survive in the habitat. They define the input of items such as materials, energy, and information, and what goes out of the habitat. They play a "Habitat Address" game,...

Eighth graders complete labs using toy trucks to study deceleration, record thier data, and then transfer it to graphing software to produce a graph. They create a lab report of the completed lab using a word processing program.

Students predict the speeds of humans and hermit crabs and investigate their predictions using ratios and formulas. AppleWorks is used for this lesson, which includes a data worksheet.

Students recognize that the other eight known planets, which revolve around the Sun, have characteristics and surface conditions that are different from Earth; and identify examples of those differences.

Students study sea ice and its importance in climate and climate change. They discuss sea ice as a presence of a food source for marine animals in the arctic and complete a lab activity. After completing the lab, they watch a video...
