Students learn that vibration makes different types of sounds. In this sound activity, students perform experiments to understand vibrations and high and low pitch sounds. Students learn that sound travels differently through different...

Young scholars explore how density can cause things to sink or float by experimenting with a jar, oil and corn syrup.

Students explore the earth's atmosphere, weather, and climate. They begin class with a discussion about weather patterns, atmosphere, and the layers of the earth. After the class discussion, students rotate through four stations to...

In this Newton's challenge instructional activity, students demonstrate their understanding of Newton's laws by performing several mini labs. Students answer questions that ask to describe the movement of each demonstration using...

Students explore webpages to research the nature of atoms, including electrons, protons, and neutrons. This lesson is the first of a four-part series on static electricity. They see that static electricity involves + and - charges.

Fourth graders investigate insulators and how refrigerators actually work to keep things cold through evaporation and pressure changes in the coolant. They create a box to keep an ice cube from melting, and observe a variety of...

Students break into four groups, starting at different stations. Each station should take about 10 minutes depending on prior knowledge of the topic. They then rotate when everyone is finished to the next station and discuss answers of...

Students explore and analyze atmospheric conditions for a high mountain retreat. They examine the relationship between altitude, atmospheric pressure, temperature and humidity at a particular location. In addition, they write reports...

In this Avogadro's law worksheet, learners read about gases and learn that under the same conditions of pressure and temperature gases with equal volumes have the same number of moles of particles. Students use Avogadro's law to solve 8...

Young scholars investigate the gas laws and how they apply to changes in gases. For this gas laws lesson, students use Boyle's Law and Charles' law to show the relationships between pressure and volume and volume and temperature of gases.

In this algebra learning exercise, students rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols and solve for the related rates. There are 10 word problems involving derivatives and rates.

Students explore fish anatomy. In this fish anatomy and adaptation instructional activity, students define and identify the location of fish body parts. Students add these parts of a fish's anatomy to a life-sized fish costume worn by a...

Students will use water, cornstarch, eggs, and more to explore the different states of matter. They will make observations of an unknown substance called "Oobleck" and test its liquid and solid properties. This would be a great lesson to...

Learners explore different habitats and the food chains within.   In this food web lesson students construct food chains for different habitats.

Students identify the major geographic features of colonial New England. They explain the essential parts to a map and interpret journals to plot a journey. They discover the connection between geography and life.

Students determine the density of metal shot by a graphical method using significant digits in making measurements and calculations. Students graph a seris of laboratory measurements and determine density from a mass verses volume graph.

Students are introduced to the active teacher, composer and pianist Maurice Ravel and his masterpiece "Laideronette, Empress of the Pagoda", from Mother Goose Suite by Maurice Ravel. They utilize aural skills to notate the rhythm of the...

Students describe the music in terms related to basic elements such as melody, rhythm, harmony, dynamics, timbre, form, style, etc. They identify timbres heard in "Pavane" by movement and respond by movement to timbre.

In this chemistry element worksheet, 7th graders complete three pages of activities that help them learn about solid, liquid, and gas forms.

In this writing prompt worksheet, learners complete a writing prompt for each day in April. Worksheet is a series of prompts, 3 per page. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
