What do lemurs do best? They move! Lemurs like to jump, run, hop, and climb and it's your class's job to document seven fun lemur behaviors. The class starts by discussing why lemurs are considered primates, and then they isolate seven...

Desert regions are hotter for multiple reasons; the lack of vegetation causes the sun's heat to go straight into the surface and the lack of moisture means none of the heat is being transferred into evaporation. This concept, and other...

What better way to make predictions about future weather and climate patterns than with actual climate data from the past? Young climatologists analyze data from 400,000 to 10,000 years ago to determine if climate has changed over...

Students conduct experiments and graph their data. In this statistics lesson, students collect data and graph it on a coordinate plane. They analyze the data looking for patterns and they discuss their findings with the class.

Students collect data on the weather, graph and analyze it. In this algebra lesson, students interpret maps and are able to better plan their days based on the weather reading. They make predictions based on the type of clouds they see.

Here is a resource with a descriptive approach to explaining the scientific method. It's simple, but effective for both introduction and reinforcement of this concept. 

Here is really nice set of resources on scientific notation. Eighth and ninth graders explore the concept of multiplying and dividing in scientific notation. In this multiplying and dividing numbers in scientific notation...

Students investigate scientific methods by analyzing an article from the Natural Inquirer.  In this data analysis lesson, students read an article from the magazine and discuss at least 2 scientific methods that could be used to...

How do scientists identify which elements originate from meteorites? Scholars learn about a sample of material found in a remote location, analyzing the sample to determine if it might be from Earth or not. They study elements, isotopes,...

Sixth graders analyze the data from a scientific experiment. In this statistics lesson, 6th graders answer questions about some data to show their understanding of the data. They apply the result to future decisions when using data.

Although the methods are all scientific, forensic science was started by police officers rather than scientists, who relied on observation and common sense. Young detectives use many tools to solve crimes around the school in a...

Students analyze height and collect data to create a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to analyze their data and make predictions. They apply concept of statistics to other areas of academics to make a...

Students study wind speed and collect wind speed data. In this wind speed lesson, students visit a website to learn about the local wind speed forecast for their week. Students discuss wind and wind speed. Students collect wind speed...

Learners analyze graphs, charts and tables. In this data analysis instructional activity, students practice creating and analyzing charts, graphs and tables corresponding to sales and surveys. This instructional activity uses data...

When Captain John Smith visited the Chesapeake Bay in the summer of 1608, what types of animals and habitats did he encounter? Your young historians will analyze primary source documents to answer this question, as well as compare...

Students relate math to real life scenarios. In this geometry lesson, students launch a ball tracking each launch using a graph. They analyze their data for speed, angles and distance, trying to improve on each launch.

Students explore the scientific method. In this scientific method activity, students use information gathered from a "Seed Dispersal" lab done previously to complete a worksheet listing the steps of the scientific method.

Students investigate measuring angles correctly through projectiles. In this geometry lesson, students launch a projectile to investigate the importance of how to measure an angle correctly and to explore trajectory. They collect...

Most scholars associate density with floating, but how do scientists determine the exact density of an unknown liquid? The third activity in a seven-part series challenges scholars to find the mass and volume of two unknown liquids. Each...

Students view an illustration of the Hudson River watershed and identify the bodies of water shown. They discuss what happens when fresh and salt water mix. Students view a teacher demonstration of the stratification of fresh and salt...

Stop wasting energy searching for physics resources, this comprehensive collection of worksheets has you covered. Starting with introductions to the scientific method, dimensional analysis, and graphing data, these skills practice...

Students perform a science experiment. In this algebra lesson, students collect data from their experiment and create a graph. They analyze the graph and draw conclusion.

Finally, a instructional activity that involves more than filling in some blanks. Your budding ecologists must graph and analyze three sets of data, then synthesize the information as they think about the impacts of plant reproduction on...

Here's a workshop for teachers that rocks the academic world! Using earthquakes as a medium for instruction, educators learn about crosscutting engineering with science. Fun, hands-on, collaborative exercises encourage participants to...
