In this acceleration learning exercise, students experiment with varying amounts of mass to observe the effects on the force needed to move an object. Students apply Newton's Second Law of Motion to describe the relationship between mass...

Students consider the senses. In this sight and touch lesson, students discover what it is like to function like a person who is blind. They work in groups and individually on various activities to experience this condition. This lesson...

This lesson plan entails the viewing of two videos to get an overview of force and its application. The lesson plan covers how vectors use force in real-world situations.

Students observe and experiment with the concept of density. This is done using a simple experiment that helps them to apply scientific principles of observation and proving a hypothesis.

Students apply the scientific method and create a practical invention. In this science lesson, students design an original and practical invention and present the idea to the class. Class role plays the part of a CEO and vote on which...

Here is a physical science activity where pupils place thermometers inside of a white and a black paper pocket and place them under a lamp. They record and compare the temperature increase over a ten-minute period. Have your class...

After viewing this PowerPoint, physical science learners will be able to apply Boyle's law. Background information, reasoning, and data will help in understanding the behavior of gases. There are a few slides that require pupils to...

With this simple inquiry exercise young scientists observe the effects of melting ice on water level. Set up an easy experiment with floating ice cubes in a dish of water then have your pupils make and record their observations of the...

Students investigate how different colors and materials create various temperatures and apply this it the concept of solar energy.

Learners experiment floating a variety of objects in various liquids. They discover how density affects the ability of an object to float and apply the concept of density to solve problems.

Art projects are great when they apply to other subjects. First study insects, their parts, and their habitats. Then have little ones create a dragonfly. They use clothes pins, raffia, pipe-cleaners, and paint to construct their...

Young scholars observe a demonstration of how a thermometer functions. They apply the scientific method while determining which of three cups hold the coldest water. They write a hypothesis before conducting the experiment and gather data.

Lab groups set up an experiment to observe what happens over time in collected pond water when fertilizer, representing pollution, is added. This website does not include student lab sheets, but background information, materials, and...

Students explore the 3-dimensional geometric forms of dinosaurs from the Jurassic Period. They apply various construction and color-effect techniques in modeling an imaginary dinosaur. Students study a variety of pictures and models of...

Students research how and why high-speed trains were developed and where they are found today. They gather information about how to make flip books. They then apply what they learn to create their own high-speed train flip books.

Students research on the internet and study about the mysterious eight-legged arthropod, tarantulas. They apply what they've discovered to create a three-dimensional tarantula model with an imaginary, colorful and descriptive name given...

For this chemistry worksheet, high schoolers examine the given concept in order to apply in the laboratory setting. The sheet includes in depth background information.

In this solutions worksheet, students determine colligative properties, calculate specific heat, and review the kinetic theory as it applies to gases. This worksheet has 8 multiple choice and 9 problems to solve.

Chemistry classes learn the importance of a limiting reactant by first considering a cake recipe. Given the recipe and the total amount available for each ingredient, they must calculate how many cakes can be made. Finally, they apply...

In this partial pressures worksheet, students apply Dalton's Law of partial pressure to solve 4 problems comparing the pressure of gases in different containers.

In this gas law worksheet, students apply the Ideal Gas Law by determine the volume, mass, or pressure of the given gases. This worksheet has 5 problems to solve.

In this gas laws worksheet, students apply Graham's Law by completing 6 problems finding the velocity and molecular mass of gases.

Students study diffusion and how it applies to the human body.  In this diffusion lesson plan students complete a lab activity and discuss what they learned.
