Students investigate energy and energy transformations. They compare the various forms of energy, create the circuit and sketch the connections. In addition, they label the circuit to identify areas where energy transformation is present.

Learners are "Energy Detectives" working for an engineering firm that does energy evaluations at schools. In teams, they locate energy sources around the school, and record their findings on an Energy Detective Worksheet.

Students explore energy by participating in a science lab in class. For this energy form lesson, students define the different types of energy such as light, mechanical and sound while examining energy measuring tools in class. Students...

Seventh graders describe electrical energy and how it is produced. In this natural resource lesson, 7th graders explain the various ways of obtaining and using natural resources for energy and the environmental consequences. They will...

Learners research solar energy. In this solar energy lesson plan, students construct a KWL chart and research solar energy through various websites and related readings. Learners complete a science journal page as an assessment.

Third graders utilize the scientific method to explain light and optics in this five lessons unit. Through experimentation and discussion, 3rd graders canvass the concepts of light traveling, reflection and refraction.

Students explore electricity. In this power experiment lesson, students determine what is required for lighting a bulb. Students develop an understanding of open and closed circuits, and how energy is formed

Seventh graders research the origins of local electrical power and compare costs and methods of generation with other areas of the country or world.

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

Learners explore the differnences between food producers in food webs and food consumers in food chains. Behavioral choices of primary and secondary consumers such as herbivores, vegetarians, carnivors, and omnivors are analyzed.

Students study the classification system used in a library. In this sorting and classification lesson, students visit their library and define the classification system in place. Students discuss the sorting method and then come up with...

Students investigate the concept of the Einstein's Theory of Relativity while conducting research using the internet and following the outline of the objectives to guide the information search. The lesson includes background information...

Second graders study rainbows and do an interdisciplinary assignment that includes poetry and a science experiment.
