For this algebra worksheet, students investigate a Hamilton cycle by figuring the degrees of the vertices's. There are 3 questions dealing with shapes and brute force.

In this trig worksheet, students draw graphs of trig functions and identify the cycle of the function. They discuss period and phase shift. There are 9 questions with an answer key.

Students research information on worker bees. In this insect lesson, students review the body parts of insects and how bees find flowers. They discuss compound and simple eyes and the life cycle of a worker bee.

Students answer questions based on Bloom's Taxonomy after reading the book, How Groundhog's Garden Grew, by Lynne Cherry.  In this reading comprehension lesson, students respond to 6 questions, one per taxonomy level, to...

For this water worksheet, students answer 10 multiple-choice questions about the water cycle. Students also describe how they think their community is involved in sustaining water resources and write a pretend radio announcement about...

In this reviewing water and changes of state learning exercise, students answer questions about water vapor, state of water, freezing point of ice, evaporation, condensation, distillation, dry ice, and the water cycle. Students answer...

Students discover the value of sustainability within our ecosystem. For this ecological lesson, students discuss the importance of a food cycle in our society, and how humans can improve the conservation of a healthy ecosystem....

Students examine the rotation of the Earth as it occurs in the 24 hour cycle. They use models of planets and the globe to make observations of movements made. Students brainstorm prior knowledge and then participate in a demonstration of...

In this science activity, students learn the importance of water conservation by completing 6 pages in the color newsletter. Students list ways their school could save water, read cartoon tips for home water conservation and complete a...

Learners compute and collect interest payments in the form of M&M candies. In this mathematics lesson, students work in small groups to compute either simple or compound interest. They compare the growth of their accounts after six...

Students gain an appreciation of nature by teaching them about the life cycle of the butterfly. They set up a terrarium so they can observe the changes a caterpillar goes through.

Basic information about the rock cycle, fossils, and the value of rock to civilizations is given in these 6 slides.  There is no explanation of information other than to present the terms, and so it could be used to start a unit  

Ninth graders investigate evolution via natural selection and form an opinion. They support their opinion using scientific evidence and apply this to adaptations that have allowed certain organisms to survive.

Students investigate the aspect of colonizing the moon by comparing techniques that are used on Earth. The colonization takes place with the planning of a hypothetical model. The model is used as a point of discussion and target...

Students learn about the phases of the moon. In this moon phases instructional activity, students learn about what causes the moon to look different to us everyday and how the Earth and Sun's position determine what phase the moon is in.

Brief, but beneficial, this resource draws space scientists into the orbit of a moon around its planet. Assignees answer five multiple choice style questions using a diagram of the planet, the moon's orbit, its focal points, and the...

A very good presentation on the phases of the moon can be helpful for your young scientists. An excellent description of why there are different phases of the moon each night is included in the PowerPoint, along with illustrations that...

How do reverse transcriptase inhibitors work? Young virologists examine the function of azidothymidine, a drug doctors use to treat HIV patients, during a hands-on modeling activity. Groups create a strand of DNA from an HIV RNA strand...

Explore the connection of surface area to bonding within atoms. Learners complete lab investigations to model changing surface area with different sizes and concentrations of atoms. A flour fireball demonstration follows the labs to...

Everyone knows a tree makes a sound when it falls, but what do we know about dying trees? Class members learn background information about Laurel wilt disease from a teacher-led presentation. Team members work with partners to read and...

So the mean is not always the best center? By working through this exploratory activity, the class comes to realize that depending upon the shape of a distribution, different centers should be chosen. Learners continue to explore...

Focus on inquiry-based learning in your science class with a series of activities designed for middle schoolers. A helpful packet samples four different texts, which include activities about predator-prey relationships, Earth's axis...

I got a different answer, are they both correct? While working through modeling problems interpreting graphs, the question of precision is brought into the discussion. Problems are presented in which a precise answer is needed and...

In this matrix reactions activity, students fill in the blank about the process of glycolysis. Students also draw an organelle- mitochondrion and label the parts with the given names.
