Blow the minds of young scientists with this collection of inquiry-based investigations. Based on a series of eight videos, these "hands-on, minds-on" science lessons engage young learners in exploring a wide range of topics...

Students explore Upham Woods at night and investigate about the special adaptations of nocturnal animals. They identify three nocturnal animals and how they are adapted to the night. Students explain what night vision is and how it works.

Students split geode rocks to see that they are beautiful inside. In this geodes lesson plan, students split the geodes and talk about how they have beautiful insides just like people, even if the outsides aren't that pretty.
