Students investigate basic principles and properties of earthquakes, including vocabulary, causes, and types of faults. They examine history of seismic activity in their home state, and complete "Locating Patterns of Distribution" lab.

Students read and discuss the book about the butterfly and create their own butterflies using liquid watercolors and pipe cleaners. They then create a butterfly development book, included in the lesson, and color the pictures using...

Learners examine zip lock bags of clay, silt, and sand to determine its origin. They rotate through stations to compare different soils and perform oil separation and Tullgren funnel tests.

Students study rock layers and the sequence of events that occur when a canyon forms.  In this sedimentary instructional activity students  complete a lab while in groups and discuss what happens. 

Young scholars explain the steps of the scientific method.  In this paper airplane lesson students design and test their own paper airplane. 

Students analyze cross-sections of geologic events. In this geology instructional activity, students identify the type of environment where the cross-section come from. They take a quiz at the end of the instructional activity.

Seventh graders define density in their own words. In this physics lesson, 7th graders solve density problems using its mathematical formula. They explain why some objects flow and some sink.

Students better explain the diversity and adaptations of living organisms.

Students identify hazardous winter weather conditions and how to make personal safety decisions during these conditions.

Second graders gather information about the physical traits an animal has which help it survive in its environment. Using collected data, 2nd graders draw illustrations with adaptation features labeled.

Second graders research the Internet as they classify different forms of energy, investigate electrical energy and how to conserve energy.

Studnets develop a new equestrian saddle for a paraplegic rider.

Pupils explore how to read scientific material by reading about the research being conducted by Dr. Rob Cifelli from the Colorado State University.

Students examine how when applying the laws of motion to an object in an accelerating frame, using coordinates defined in such frame, one must always add an "inertial force", representing forces caused by the frame's acceleration.

Students identify major rivers in Kansas, identify the direction which they flow and identify tributaries of the Kansas River. Students examine what occurrences upstream influence water quality downstream.

Fifth graders, in groups, write about things that happen as a result of interacting with their environment.

Students identify and discuss health problems that can occur during adulthood. They research one health problem, list the risk factors of the disease, and create a Powerpoint presentation based on their research.

Fourth graders study waves and how the tide affects the earth.

Second graders, in groups, measure the volume of four containers that vary in shape and size.

Seventh graders make observations at a beach zone, bayou, pond, lake or drainage ditch, or other wetland.

Students will perform experiments to examine if debris will float, or blow in the wind. They discuss the effects of these characteristics on marine debris.

Students increase their ability to recognize the planets and their surface features. In this exploratory activity students focus on details by studying uncaptioned images.

Students sort a variety of trash items and determine thier sorting decisions.

Students work in teams to identify and sort types of packaging used in food production. They consider ways to reduce the environmental impact of packaging and reflect how consumer choices play a role in trash production.
