Students investigate climate change and how the properties of carbon dioxide and methane play a part.  In this climate lesson students use a chemical reaction to trap CO2 and methane.

Students observe and gather data from a model simulated home.  For this efficiency lesson students examine the factors that influence energy efficiency, complete a lab activity then draw conclusions from their data.

Eleventh graders complete a self-assessment worksheet. They discuss the worksheet and write their responses. Students create a personalized list of things they can improve or maintain their positive self-concept. Students create a list...

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the establishment of a corporation. They apply accounting principles to different situations in order to make payments on a dividend. Students also investigate the basic accounting cycle.

Students experience a positive science experiment and study fundamental concepts of measurement.

Students develop procedures to explore the behavior of fish.  In this scientific experiment lesson students from a hypothesis, write a question, identify different variables and controls in their experiment. 

Students use tables showing the ratios between ounces and pounds, grams and kilograms, and pounds and kilograms. They estimate whether an object should be weighed in ounces or pounds and whether an object should be weighed in grams or...

Students play a series of mini games in order to learn basic concepts in science and math. In this data collection lesson, students weigh rice, count time, participate in a marble grab, look at big feet, participate in a sponge squeeze,...

Students participate in Density Discoveries, which is a hands-on learning opportunity for students to find the mass, volume, and density of solid matter.

Students analyze velocity and how it is determined. They experiment with velocity in order to measure and calculate the magnitude of speed. They use examples in their novel "Skateboard Renegade" to relate velocity to real life situations.

Fifth graders determine volume and density through their knowledge of mass, volume and density.

Students examine the main food groups. They examine their lifestyles and examine ways to promote healthier lifestyles in young people in order to present a Healthy Living Week.

Students explore the basic underlying concepts of Newton's first law of motion. They discuss forces and brainstorm different examples of force and what they act on. Students examine force by observing springs and gravity. They discuss...

Students use multiple math skills to complete grocery story problems. For this grocery math lesson, students study grocery ads to learn about the cost of foods. Students investigate food types and the costs of processed versus raw foods....

For this food groups worksheet, students use the colorful 7 day diary to color a star for each food group eaten each day. Students do not record how many servings from each group, just that they have eaten a food from it.

Eighth graders study the conservation of matter.  For this chemical reaction lesson students examine what happens during a chemical reaction and complete a lab activity. 

Students apply the knowledge of Bernoulli's Principle and construct simple aerodynamic designs. In this flight physics lesson, students explore the history of man's interest in flying and the forces influencing an object in flight by...

Young scholars use scientific measuring tools to collect and use scientific data. They determine the density of four different objects by using their data to explain why objects have similar/different densities even though they are both...

In this food log worksheet, students analyze what they eat in a single day. Students fill in the chart for the food groups and the different meals and snacks consumed throughout the day.

Students predict, observe, and record what grasshoppers eat to demonstrate an understanding that grasshoppers and people have nutritional requirements to grow and maintain good health.

Learners review the principals of design or are introduced to them for the first time. The intention of the assignment is to reinforce the principles. There are strategies given to help diverse learners. The use of pictures is essential...

Students, after locating different marine habitats on a globe, play a card game about ecosystems, food webs and organisms.

Students explore reflexes. In this biology lesson plan, students discover the basic facts about the reflex systems of the brain as they take part in hands-on activities.

Students explore the density of liquids. In this scientific inquiry lesson plan, students discover the density of water, corn syrup, and cooking oil through an experiment. In addition, students will draw and label pictures of the...
