Ninth graders research weapons of the Aboriginal people and throw a dart with and without the use of an atlatl. For this cross curricular lesson, 9th graders research the weapons of the Aboriginal people. They throw darts with and...

Students explore multimedia components. In this science inquiry activity, students read "Invitation to the Game" by Monica Hughes and they use the Alice Computer Programming System to better understand population dynamics.

Students discover the history of hot air balloons by watching one ascent.  In this physics lesson plan, students utilize a Montgolfier Hot Air Balloon from an earlier lesson plan and record the temperature, rate of ascent and the...

Students explore the concept of topographical maps.  In this topographical map lesson, students discuss how airplanes know where to fly.  Students use topographical maps to simulate a field trip on the computer. 

Students explore hydrology concepts. In this environment and biology lesson, students identify and describe macroinvertebrates using a variety of pictures and resources. Students observe and write about a classroom aquarium in which...

Students study West Virginia quilts. For this mathematics lesson, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.

For this amphibians worksheet, students click on the links in the questions about amphibians to find the answers to the questions and then come back and answer the questions. Students answer 10 questions total.

In this online/interactive worksheet comparing and contrasting Monarch and Great Spangled Fritillary Butterflies worksheet, students read an online comparison and contrast guide, use the graphic organizer, and record the similarities and...

In this ecology community status worksheet, students research their state's ecosystem, make a chart of the biodiversity, analyze the chart and identify issues with wetland species.  This page has several links to helpful web resources.

In this physical characteristics worksheet, students compare bats and humans by putting a + sign in the chart for whether or not bats and humans have the same characteristics. Students do this for 17 characteristics and answer 3 questions.

For this order of operations and sequences worksheet, students solve 16 short answer problems. Kids create an arithmetic sequence by adding seven to a number. Students perform operations on numbers in various order to see the importance...

Students teach others about habitats. In this Science lesson, students use a Science Log to record data about a habitat for research. Students analyze the data and construct an eco-chamber. Students share what they have found with other...

Young scholars explore geography by completing a navigation activity in class. In this satellite positioning lesson, students define terms such as orbit, satellite, GPS and triangulation. Young scholars view diagrams of the Earth's orbit...

Students explore the organisms that live on counters or surfaces in the classroom. In this mold experiment, students observe mold in different conditons.  Students record their observations on a worksheet. Students understand how...

Young scholars study the effects of wildlife conservation and relocation.  In this conservation lesson students view video on the preservation of the giraffe populations and discuss the impact that humans have had on them.

Learners plant daffodil bulbs. In this gardening activity, students work outside to plant daffodil bulbs in the autumn so that they can grow roots and emerge by spring.

Students choose a question from a given list and develop an investigation about it. In this biology lesson, students analyze bacterial growth by carrying out a guided experiment. They present their findings in class.

Students examine core samples from Mars and discover what they can use it to tell the history of Mars.  In this core sample lesson plan students create and analyze their own core samples then eat them at the end.

Students build their own spectrophotometer to study light. In this physics lesson, students explain the dual nature of light. They calculate the angle of incidence and refraction using Snell's law equation.

Students become birds and are given "beak-types". After completing the simulation, students relate results to adaptations and natural selection. Extensions of the simulation allow for comparative results and include population genetics.
