In this instructional activity, students will analyze the rules of snowboarding as established by the US Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA) in order to help them develop an athletic code of conduct for elementary school students. This...

This is part 2 of a two-part lesson on understanding how speed changes when two objects collide. Students will conduct an experiment, collect data, and draw conclusions about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide....

Choose from multiple lessons that satisfy the following standard: Conduct short research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question), drawing on several sources and generating additional related, focused questions...

Seventh graders will be able to design and conduct their own simulation to determine the probability of an event.

Students gain an understanding of the difference between electrical conductors and insulators, and experience recognizing a conductor by its material properties. In a hands-on activity, students build a conductivity tester to determine...

Today you will get an opportunity to conduct an assessment interview that will look at how well your students are measuring with inch tiles.

Nervous system messages are sent as electrical signals along the length of axons and dissolved salts are important for electrical signaling in cells. In this lesson students are introduced to this concept by creating an electrical...

Young scholars will explore the value of personal stories and first-hand accounts when exploring history, in this case, the events of the early twentieth century, which included World War I and the Great Depression. Through this...

In this instructional activity, the learners will learn the characteristics of acids and bases including the associated pH values. The students will conduct a hands-on activity that shows color indicators for different pH values. This...

With the help of simple, teacher-led demonstration activities, young scholars learn the basic physics of heat transfer by means of conduction, convection, and radiation. They also learn about examples of heating and cooling devices, from...

In this lesson plan, students will first discuss where energy comes from, including sources such as fossil fuels, nuclear, and such renewable technologies as solar. After this initial exploration, students will investigate the three main...

Students in Grades 4 through 8 will benefit from these research skills activities. This resource provides several learning activities and tips. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.WHST.6-8.7 Conduct short research projects

This section explores how to design and conduct surveys that accurately reflect the perspectives of a larger group of people by identifying unbiased sample groups and by writing unbiased questions.

In this lesson, students build series and parallel circuits and test their conductivity. Includes handouts with diagrams, and a vocabulary list with definitions.

Messages within the brain and the rest of the nervous system are sent very rapidly. These messages are conducted by cells called neurons. Neurons are specialized to receive and transmit message and neurons are connected in networks. In...

Neurotransmitters can either stimulate the next neuron to send a signal or inhibit that neuron from sending a signal. Certain chemicals change the way signals are sent and received. In this lesson students will understand this concept by...

In this instructional activity for students from 3rd-12th grades will learn to build an experiment chamber to test the effects of light on Brassica rapa roots, and compare their results with outcomes from plant experiments conducted...

Few people are aware of how crucial the sense of smell is to identifying foods, or the adaptive value of being able to identify a food as being familiar and therefore safe to eat. In this lesson and activity, students conduct an...

In 2009, four painted lady butterflies flew aboard space shuttle Atlantis to the International Space Station, where they grew and lived. Students can use original photos from the mission to conduct open-ended scientific investigations to...

With the help of videos and photos, students conduct open-ended scientific investigations to discover how gravity and microgravity affect the life cycle and web design of orb-weaver spiders on the International Space Station.

After analyzing examples of contemporary youth poetry as well as the poetry of Langston Hughes, students will use the Internet to conduct research on how events in the world have shaped Hughes' work. They will cite specific examples that...

For this instructional activity, students conduct research on what paleontologists do when they study dinosaur fossils. They learn about some of the major paleontologists, what they discovered, and how opinions about fossils change over...

In this hands-on lesson plan, middle schoolers will conduct a simple milk-transforming experiment to explore how plastics can be derived from a natural resource such as milk.

Students will interact with mainstream students while conducting a survey about their favorite foods. Meet the ESL standards with this engaging activity.
