Eighth graders watch a Lab Safety video and discuss particular questions related to lab safety. Lab equipment is then distributed and the students inspect the equipment and record their finding in their journal. Finally, in groups, 8th...

Oceanography experts use candy to construct a model of a bio-physical mooring that would test a variety of factors. Each piece of equipment to be included on the mooring is described within the write-up. As pupils gather the candies for...

Plant respiration can be a difficult concept for young biologists to grasp; with a hands-on lab, learners can collect and graph data, then calculate the metabolism rate for the plants they studied. If you do not have a respirometer,...

Ninth graders examine the proper use of photographic lab equipment addressing appropriate safety issues. They complete all projects associated with this activity before participating in a Win, Lose, or Draw activity.

Learners review kitchen management, safety, and sanitation rules, and practice applying safety and sanitation rules in kitchen lab by preparing chicken stir-fry over rice while maintaining safe working environment. Students then complete...

Dracula isn't the only one who needs blood to survive. The eight-part unit includes seven lessons, five demonstrations, seven labs, and a project to organize a blood drive. Class members learn about the parts of...

The microwave is a staple in many American households, but how exactly does it work? Approach this question from a scientific and practical standpoint, and discover cooking strategies, recipes, and methodologies for the standard...

Set up stations around your science lab to introduce youngsters to different equipment. They examine a beaker, graduated cylinder, ruler, balance, and thermometer. The said worksheet is not included, but you will find a few useful tips...

Physics is phun in this lesson. Young physicists use a lightbox to test how and where light is refracted and reflected as it travels through transparent materials. Angles of incidence and refraction, sine of both angles, and the...

Students extend linear and directional patterns, identify patterns in classroom and community environments, create original patterns incorporating the senses of sight and sound, and operate video and recording equipment.

Students discover ways of obtaining oil by participating in an experiment.  In this natural resource lesson, students identify diagrams of oil derricks and pumps in order to visualize how oil is retrieved from the earth....

Students review materials prior to taking a test that includes food preparation. After playing a version of Jeopardy as a review, they fill out lab planning sheets which detail what they plan to prepare, including ingredients and...

Young scholars construct triangles. In this geometry lesson, students create equilateral triangles. They also construct triangles where the sides are different. They use the lab to create and move shapes around with the Cabri program.

Fourth graders discover vocabulary terms associated with computer literacy. The lesson is divided into two segments - a lab session and classroom follow-up discussion. During a teacher-prepared Powerpoint presentation, 4th graders...

Using simple materials, an informative lesson demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Matter and explains how to balance chemical equations. Young chemists perform experiments, analyze reactions, and balance chemical equations...

Learners use Excel spreadsheets to organize purchases, discounts, sales prices, and sales tax. Students follow step by step instructions and enter formulas as well as use the auto sum feature to calculate required calculations.

In this computer lesson, students practice and review vocabulary necessary to work with computers. They demonstrate the meaning of computer terms and use them correctly by playing online review games and paper based games. A test with...

Students investigate the Napoleon triangle theory. In this polygon lesson, students  differentiate between the boundary points, interior and lattice point of a polygon. They apply concepts of equilateral triangles to solve...

Pupils construct perpendicular lines. In this geometry instructional activity, students use a compass and straight edge to do construction. They start from a point to a line.

Students identify lines, and line segments. For this geometry lesson, students divide line segments into equal congruent parts. They complete a laboratory activity dealing with lines and segments.

Students construct midsegments. In this geometry lesson, students make conjectures and apply properties of triangles to solve problems. They complete an activity on the computer.

Learners use Heron's formula to calculate the area of a triangle. In this geometry lesson, students use three different methods to solve the area of a triangle. They find and construct the incentor and angle bisector of a triangle.

Students investigate polygons and construct ferris wheels. In this geometry lesson plan, students create a circle and differentiate properties of circles and polygons. They compare the relationship between angles and circumscribed polygons.

Students find the median of trapezoids and other polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify important properties of trapezoids. They create trapezoids and polygons using Cabri software.
