Students are exposed to the benefits of many antimicrobial soaps to prevent infections. In the food-service industry, studies indicate that inadequate hand washing and cross-contamination is responsible

Second graders brainstorm how they care about certain people in their lives. They discuss how they take care of those people or pets. They draw a picture of the people who care about them.

Pupils investigate techniques involved in extracting and isolating DNA. Students extract and observe onion DNA.

Eighth graders conduct research on a topic of choice. They discuss the topics of copyrighting, plagiarism, and biblipgraphic format issues, conduct research using a variety of materials and resources, and create a poster, travel...

Students identify consumers and producers in different communities. Students collect a variety of soil samples and record organisms found in the samples.

Students study the process for diffusion of molecules. In this chemistry lesson plan, students understand molecular movement, develop skills for a chemistry investigation, develop skills in making hypotheses, develop observational...

Pupils view a video about Betty Ford and how her candid admission of her own battles with addiction has enabled others to face their own addictions. She has done the same for breast cancer, since she was First Lady of the US.

Students define density and explain how to determine the density of an object. Students participate in a demonstration that shows the differences in the densities of different liquids and how they affect the liquid's physical properties.

High schoolers experiment to understand the basic concept of polymerization and to understand the dissolution theory. Student experiment with polymers to understand its behavior and the mechanical behavior of polymer networks.

Students experiment with Thin Layer Chromatography to separate pigments found in flower petals.

Middle schoolers identify parts of plant and animal cells and describe the functions of each part. They distinguish between plant and animal cells. After a lecture/demo, students perform experiments which help them construct models of...

Students end up learning the formula for density and calculate the densities of various materials, and predict if they sink or float.

Fourth graders identify eleven white substances that are commonly found in the household. They, in pairs, perform experiments on a variety of substances, and must identify them based on the reactions they observe.

Students investigate molecular movement while studying how to perform a chemistry investigation.

Students evaluate substance abuse problems at their school and then create solutions for the problems.

Twelfth graders work in teams to design a method of recycled plastics purification by flotation. They base their design on the concept that different kinds of plastics have different densities and keep overall costs and purification time...

Learners in upper-level sex education/family living classes study and discuss the stages of sexual response. As a group, they discuss possible real-life scenarios and the myths and misconceptions which can affect the functioning of the...

High schoolers, working in cooperative groups, extract very impure samples of DNA from a number of tissue samples. They determine how the samples can be preserved and how they are similar.

Students perform a lab to becoe familar with scientific concepts. The skill of inquiry is essential and this lesson furthers its development. The intelligence of kinesthetics is used as learners perform the many aspects of this lab...

Learners investigate the environment of a stream or lake to collect and observe macroinvertebrates in their natural environment. They record data and summarize the information obtained. Students look to see if there has been any human...

Pupils use scientific methods to investigate the concept of DNA. They observe the DNA of human cheek cells. This is done with the use of a lab experience. Students record their observations and reflect upon on how each organism is unique...

Students explore the tissues of the bone. They discuss bone composition and physiology. Students perform experiments to compare and contrast the decalcifying properties of several liquids.

Students examine samples of water to determine its cleanliness. They visit a waste treatment plant and/or reservoir. Students explore what protects the water supply from contamination by chemical or organize pollution. They trace the...

Pupils idenitfy that cancer is a growth of mutated cells and that cancer cells are only one type of cell that causes disease in our body. They also identify that all eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus, cytoskeleton, and a cell membrane....
