Students match definitions with vocabulary words and learn basic facts about matter. Then, they see how to determine the physical characteristics of matter. They determine the mass, volume, and density of objects using appropriate tools...

Students write a sketch of an artist or athlete that has pushed the limits on gravity. They explore concepts of rhythm, balance and friction. They examine how engineers design sports equipment.

Students use a thermometer to analyze soil temperature data to determine which soil sample is normal, and which one is permafrost. For this permafrost lesson plan, students participate in a hands on activity where they identify the...

Students identify the factors that affect viscosity of substances. In this chemistry lesson plan, students define what viscosity is in their own words. They give real world applications of viscosity.

Students measure the temperature of three water sources. They collect data points every second for twenty five seconds for each sample using Lego Robolab temperature sensors, complete a worksheet, and analyze the data.

Students investigate how rocket thrust is generated with propellant. They listen to a teacher-led lecture, discuss Newton's third law of motion, answer discussion questions, and view photos of rockets and rocket designs.

Young scholars study deceleration devices like parachutes and parafoils.

Middle schoolers estimate and accurately measure the size of angles communicate with the appropriate geometric terms and symbols to describe and name angles, lines, line segments, rays

Demonstrate the ability to apply the use of decimals, fractions, ratios and proportions to situations based upon given information about planets in the solar system.

Learners will use a block to compare with other objects to decide which is heavier/lighter. They will fill in a chart by drawing a picture of it under "Heavier" or "Lighter" depending which applies.

Students will utilize new found knowledge of architectural design and engineering to apply math and science skills in building a structure. By using interactive websites, they will create scale drawing plans and design and engineer a...

In this task, students must estimate the number of leaves on a large tree, taking into account various complex factors such as the area shaded by the tree, the area of irregularly shaped leaves, the uneven distribution of leaves, the...
