Young scholars examine the body's major organ systems and how they function and influence each other. They examine how the human body moves when involved in sports.

Students describe a watershed. They identify factors that effect the flow of water within a watershed. They explain how water can flow from inland waterways to the ocean.

Middle schoolers design and create their own heart valves out of a variety of materials. Their heart valves are one way valves designed for water flowing through a tube representing blood moving through the heart.

Seventh graders investigate how changes in the mass or height of a ramp can affect the change in potential energy. They discuss the concepts of work and energy, then using the four question strategy, they design an experiment that...

Middle schoolers investigate the strength of acids and bases experimentally. They answer the question, "How can pH be used to determine possible product tampering?" by testing acids and bases with litmus paper.

Students research cafeteria composting. In this composting lesson plan, students design a vessel that would allow the cafeteria staff to collect food scraps for composting. Then students build a prototype and present it to the class....

Students research how neon signs are made and design their own. In this periodic table instructional activity, students familiarize themselves with the noble gases on the periodic table. They watch a video, research how neon signs are...

Students explore the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson plan, students examine water as a resource as they create a water cycle poster and create a water cycle model. Water cycle game instructions are included as well.

Students design a model watershed. In this watershed instructional activity, students learn the needed parts of a watershed and how they work. Students evaluate how watersheds effect communities.

Students understand the purpose of an aquifer. In this aquifer and groundwater lesson, students build a model aquifer find its relationship to water usage. Students record observations as they build the layers of the aquifer.

Fourth graders research the planets and create brochures to share their information.  In this planets lesson, 4th graders navigate the Internet to gather information for a brochure about an imaginary trip to their planet....

Students identify what factors effect global warming and how the greenhouse effect occurs.  In this environmental lesson students view videos then complete an experiment using a terrarium to observe greenhouse gas.

Young scholars examine the importance of food safety and the impact it has on their lives.  In this health lesson students complete an oral report on food poisoning and design a low cost "safe" packing material for bread.

Students observe and examine how carbon dioxide, water, and light produce glucose/starch through a process called photosynthesis.

Students examine the formal definition of Newton's 3rd law: "forces always originate in pairs, equal in magnitude and opposite in direction." --The informal, qualitative version: "Each action has an equal and opposite reaction."

Students familiarize themselves with the interconnectedness of species within an ecosystem, and to use this knowledge to evaluate how the removal or decimation of one species can have far reaching effects.

Students analyze an engineering problem. They contrast paper and pencil mastery of concepts with hands-on mastery. They present their design and rationale behind it, whether it works or not.

In this introduction to chemistry worksheet, learners answer 9 questions regarding the study of chemistry. The first part is matching, then they "think like a scientist" and then they problem solve.

Students investigate moles and Avogadro's hypothesis. In this moles lesson plan, students complete a worksheet by finding the volume of 1 mole of each substance given its density and they find the number of molecules, the formula, the...

Students analyze organic production systems. In this organic agriculture lesson plan, students examine key organic practices for both crop and livestock. This lesson plan includes 5 different activities, 4 critical thinking questions and...

Students solve word problems dealing with Charles' Law. In this Charles' Law lesson, students observe PowerPoint presentations concerning Charles' Law. They complete a WebQuest and describe the relationship between hot air balloons and...

In this electrical circuit activity, students answer a series of 24 open-ended questions about electromagnetism and electromagnetic induction. This activity is printable and the answers are revealed online.

Students brainstorm ways they can reduce their energy consumption and then create New Year's Resolutions with their families to put these conservation plans into action.
