Fourth graders complete activities to study the sources of energy and forms. In this energy lesson, 4th graders discuss the origin of energy and define it. Students participate in several experiments to further study energy including a...

Pupils discover different types of energy. In this energy source lesson students compare different types of energy, renewable and nonrenewable. Pupils answer questions about the different types of energy and their impact on the environment.

Students draw different electrical circuit symbols. For this electricity lesson, students construct simple circuits based on circuit diagrams. They share their findings to class.

Students investigate and apply properties of math. In this algebra and physics lesson, students define important vocabulary words to create a basic understanding of keywords. They perform experiments using concepts of electricity and math.

Young scholars explore energy by participating in a science lab in class. In this energy form lesson plan, students define the different types of energy such as light, mechanical and sound while examining energy measuring tools in class....

Fourth graders learn about reduce, reuse, and recycle and identify household hazardous products. Students learn about less hazardous alternatives and complete an inventory of hazardous materials in a typical household.

Students review the basketball skills learned in class and are challenged to perform specific skills to the beat of the music.

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.

Students consider several things: the importance of electricity and energy in their lives, the costs of that energy, and the importance of conserving energy.

Students explain the basic principles of gasoline engines as propulsion for vehicles. They cite reasons why alternatives for gasoline engines are being considered and explain differences between a motor and an engine.

Students build and test a type of communication system called a parabolic-dish receiver. This type of system is exactly like radio telescopes, which are discussed in our song. They explain how signals are transmitted and captured with...

Third graders. in groups, take pictures of plants and turn them into a learning game.

High schoolers create balloon and rubber band models of robotic rovers to investigate the concepts of mass, torque, and friction. Through research and planning, students construct a rover test-bed that simulates the Martian environment.

Students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. This activity allow them to observe the operation of a transistor as an amplifier.

Students listen to a read aloud, participate in word work and work with video clips at a website. They make a zoetrope to demonstrate animation.

Students explore renewable and non-renewable energy sources, discuss how each source was created, and identify and sketch out the cycle of energy for each renewable source.

Students explore the function of storm drains and the importance of keeping them clean of debris. They obtain permission from local authorities and perform community service painting stenciled messages near existing storm drains.

Fourth graders discuss the concept of reduce, reuse and recycle. They identify products in their homes that are hazardous and discover alternatives to them. They examine the inventory of other classmates hazardous materials.

Students investigate how to reduce solid and hazardous waste, and estimate the amount of household hazardous waste in their community. Students discuss methods of changing people's habits, and how to convince them to use alternative...

High schoolers apply the basic concepts in the previous two lessons to produce great video diaries that they can treasure for years to come.

Learners use their spelling words for the week to solve analogies. In groups, they work together to place the correct word in the correct place in a sentence. They also read a paragraph and determine the meaning of the word using...

Fourth graders explore the ecosystem of Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge Complex. In groups, classmates take pictures and research the species of birds and plants in the area. Over a period of time, 4th graders collect temperature...

Students explore circuit boards. They determine that a complete circuit is needed to light the bulbs, experiment with the boards to develop strategies for finding where the hidden connections are, and develop strategies that can be used...

Fifth graders conduct a closed circuit experiment to observe the elements of water. They discuss the elements of Hydrogen and Oxygen, and in small groups construct a closed circuit connected to two pencils placed in water. Students...
