A two-part lesson asks young scientists to research the contributions of African American scientists at Bell Laboratories. After presenting their findings, class members watch two demonstrations that introduce them to total internal...

Young scholars explore the use of lasers. In this "lasers" science and career education lesson, students search the Internet to find uses for lasers and make a list of companies that use or produce lasers. Young scholars complete a...

Student groups rotate through four stations to examine light energy behavior: refraction, magnification, prisms and polarization. They see how a beam of light is refracted (bent) through various transparent mediums. Students investigate...

Young scholars compare and contrast electromagnetic and physical waves. In this wave instructional activity, students discover that all waves reflect, refract, and diffract energy. Young scholars work in small groups to experiment with...

Seventh graders research different types of waves, identify the parts of a wave and create a Power Point presentation demonstrating what they have learned.

Students research and investigate an occupation and determine if it is right for them. They discover important character traits about themselves and what they need to do in order to prepare for the future.
