Fourth graders investigate conditions causing saturation and measure the dew point of the atmosphere performing simple experiments.

Young scholars conduct experiments to illustrate global warming. In this air pollution lesson, students first examine how a layer of greenhouse gasses might impact the earth's atmospheric temperature, then evaluate how the layer of...

Second graders discuss how our actions impact the quality of water. In this environmental science lesson, 2nd graders watch a short film and discuss the problem of polluted water. Students are then divided into groups and record their...

Fourth graders examine soil to find its contents, and how much water and air they can measure.  In this soil composition instructional activity, 4th graders perform three experiments and record their results.  In one experiment...

Students study the types and parts of seeds and how they have evolved.  In this germination activity students complete experiments that show the effects of variables role in seed germination. 

Students investigate the characteristics of eggs by playing and experimenting with them.

Students induce an electrical charge on various objects, and experiment with electrical repulsion and attraction. They define related vocabulary, play Bingo and complete a take-home quiz.

Students investigate the basic parts of plant and that plants are living things which require water, air, light and nutrients for survival. They do this through a series of scientific experiements and multi-curricular hands-on activities.

Fourth graders lift objects with the fulcrum and load in various positions and then experiment with how much force is exerted by the effort and load arms of the lever. They place 5 paper clips in the load and move the fulcrum to match...

Young scholars observe the effects of acid rain on plants. They simulate an experiment using vinegar or lemon water. They observe the impact of acids on plants and recognize how acid rain can affect the environment. They examine their...

Students explore matter through the concept of displacement. They perforrm an inquiry experiment with a glass, paper and a bucket to demonstrate that gases take up space.

Fifth graders explore how a plane can stay aloft. In this engineless airplane flying lesson plan, 5th graders experiment to find how the design of a plane and Bernoulli's principle keep planes in the air. Student's create a plane and...

Students will observe a property of water. In this inquiry-based properties of air activity, students observe how a change in water pressure impacts the positioning of an eye-dropper in the water container and they make hypotheses about...

Students observe that plants need air, food, light, and water to survive.  In this plant biology instructional activity, students observe the growth and development of two plants, one is the control plant and the other is denied...

Students experiment with plants. In this plant lesson plan, students research the needs of plants. Students determine if all plants have the same requirements for growth.  In small groups, students experiment with different plants.

Students observe seeds growth and examine the different parts of the seedling. In this biology lesson, students compare the growth of seeds planted in soil and in hydroponics. They record their observations in their science journal and...

Students conduct experiments to identify the different properties of oxygen. In this chemistry lesson, students examine its importance to life on Earth. They explore the historic dispute about oxygen's discovery.

Students conduct an experiment. In this plants instructional activity, students conduct an experiment in order to understand how liquid passes through a plant. They use balloons suspended from the classroom ceiling.

Learners are introduced to the four forces of flight--drag, lift, thrust, and weight--through a variety of fun-filled flight experiments. They "fly" for short periods and evaluate factors that might either increase or decrease their...

Students conduct an experiment. In this wind measurement lesson plan, students learn about instruments that measure the wind and then make a weather vane. Students record wind speed over a few days.

Students explore clouds.  In this weather lesson, students identify the steps in the water cycle, define condensation and evaporation, and relate this information to cloud formation.  Students perform a cloud experiment,...

Students investigate cloud formation. In this weather lesson, students examine how clouds are formed. Students participate in experiments that model how water vapor in the air works.

Students examine various polymers. In this polymers lesson, students perform three experiments with polymers to identify them and observe their interesting properties.

Students observe the diffusion of air molecules through a balloon. In this chemistry and molecules instructional activity, students fill balloons with air and a scented substance and observe whether the scented air is able to permeate...
