Students determine the optimal temperature at which brine shrimp eggs hatch and develop. They evaluate the changes, if any, which occur in a brine shrimp culture at various temperatures.

Students determine if different temperatures effect the growth and survival rates of aquatic plants and evaluate the optimal temperature for the growth of aquatic plants.

Sixth graders write a short story about being stranded on a deserted island. After a brief geography review of locations at various latitudes and longitudes, 6th graders draft their story about being stranded. They use sensory and...

Students learn about snow. In this snow themed instructional activity, students read a book, make a painting, and observe snow. A math activity timing how long it takes for snow to melt is included.

Students compare ways in which people form different cultures think about and deal with their physical environment and social conditions. They identify examples of change and recognize examples of cause and effect relationships. Students...

Students investigate the concept of caves by conducting an experiment. The instructional activity contains background information for the teacher. They collect data while making observations and write a review of the concept once the...

Pupils read the book We Can Do It! and discuss how we are all physically different. In this physically different lesson plan, students read the book, discuss their differences, and participate in a smelling and touching activity to see...

Students identify and name six modes of transportation. Students name the purpose of each of the six modes of transportation. Students categorize modes of transportation based on where they travel.

Students create muddy foot prints, "paint" with their feet, and explore the uses of bubble mix in this three-part lesson for the early-elementary classroom. The three activities can be used separately, or adapted depending on the...

Students understand what a habitat is. They determine why a habitat is important to our environment no matter where it is located. Students observe and recognize natural habitats in their surroundings.

Students discuss comparing the size of two different sets of blocks. They estimate the length of the long blocks by answering the following questions: How can you use the small blocks to find out?, and How many small blocks does it...

Students engage in a instructional activity that is concerned with finding the volume of a solid. They investigate and describe the characteristics of a favorite food and identify it as metal or non-metal. The instructional activity...

In this earth and beyond worksheet, students read information about dryland salinsation, a serious problem facing Western Australia, and then answer 14 questions about the topic.

Students conduct an experiment in order to observe the typical downward growth of a maize root. They become familiar with the root's growth patterns to use as a control for comparison in other experiments.

Students conduct an experiment to determine if a plant's response to gravity is affected by different angles of plant orientation.

Students conduct an experiment and use different measurements of a single root to illustrate the mechanism of plant movement.

Learners conduct an experiment to determine how the absence of a root cap affects a plant's ability to sense gravity. They make comparisons between capped and decapped roots.

Students are introduced to three types of energy transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. They model the scientific process of fusion to become with the sun and how it produces energy.

Students conduct an experiment to observe the response of maize roots when rotated 90 degrees.

Students 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.

In this phase changes learning exercise, students use the specific heats for different substances to determine how much heat is needed for those substance to change phases. This learning exercise has 9 problems to solve.

Can your class solve linear equations in two variables? They will be able to after they engage in this lesson. Individuals graph linear equations in two variables using slope and intercept and identifying the relationship between the x...

Fifth graders study the properties of metals and use them to identify different properties.  In this metal properties lesson students complete a demonstration .

For this science review for grade 3 (3.5) worksheet, 3rd graders answer 25 multiple choice questions in standardized test format about fossils, simple machines and heat transfer.
