In this electrical circuit activity, middle schoolers follow a pre-planned lab activity to demonstrate a series and parallel circuit. They record their observations and answer 4 questions. This document is printable and the answers are...

Students write a poem about a single work of art by Flavin.  In this descriptive response lesson, students express their feelings about the work and organize words into phrases.  Students arrange word phrases on paper to form...

Young scholars are read A House for Hermit Crab, by Eric Carle. For this vocabulary focused lesson, students discover the meaning of at least three new words. They discuss the new vocabulary, as a class, before and after the story is...

Students engage in a lesson that covers the concept of different phases of the moon. They name the cycles of the phases of the moon while using flashlights to simulate the light of the sun. They research information about several...

Learners study energy conversion and the forms energy may take. In this energy conversion instructional activity, students study energy conversions in flash paper, rubber bands, mechanical cranks, and a radiometer.

Students investigate white light. In this science instructional activity, students participate in a variety of experiments in which they study light. Students use spectroscopes to view the components of light.

Students using experiments try to demonstrate how observations can be affected by the cycles of night and day.

Student describes what happens to the color of a stove burner or a coal as it gets hotter. They use the applet to determine what range of temperatures range give you a red light, what range of temperatures would give you a white light,...

Eighth graders model rheostats to see how they work.

Students test the conductivity of selected liquids and solids. They test the circuit by touching the two free ends of the wires together and add salt little by little recording the data after each addition. Finally, students predict...

Sixth graders use paper cups, black and white lining, thermometers and plastic wrap to conduct an experiment that measures the energy-collecting capacity of various colors. They graph the results.

Sixth graders continue their examination of light. In groups, they make rainbows and examine the spectrum of visible light. They travel between various stations recording their observations about the behaviors of light. To end the...

Students engage in a activity about the moon and three different constellations. They conduct research using a variety of resources. The teacher leads the class with demonstrations and discussion groups. The research is also guided using...

Pupils discover the relationship between lens shape and the formation of images in an experiment. They use three different size converging lenses and a diverging lens to calculate and compare the focal length of each. They graph and...

Students perform tests on different soil samples. In this earth science lesson, students classify the soil into groups according to test results. They write a lab report following a certain criteria.

A good description of the inventions and life of this bright and ambitious man. As inventor of the light bulb, phonograph, movie camera and many others, Edison lived a very inspiring life. In Spanish.

For this lesson, students actively investigate the differences between parallel and series circuits and how the brightness of bulbs is affected.

[Free Registration/Login Required] The teacher will use this lesson plan flipchart to review circuits. This unit consolidates Children's knowledge of materials which are electrical conductors, extends understanding of ways in which the...
