Students experiment with plants. In this plant lesson, 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 conduct an experiment to determine the temperature tolerance of yeasts. For this biology lesson, students collect data and compare them by plotting graphs. They explain how extreme temperatures affect organisms.

Third graders conduct an experiment comparing plants.  In this plant instructional activity, 3rd graders plant seeds and grow two varieties of plant comparing the light needed for it to grow.  Students make predictions and...

Students investigate the characteristics and nature of yeast and molds help to explain how these microorganisms affect food production. They experiment with yeast in sourdough in preparing sourdough pancakes.

Students examine the concept of transpiration. They work together to complete an experiment in which they see water loss in plants. They record their observations and discuss their conclusions.

Students set up and run the experiments they designed in the lesson, 'Population Growth in Yeasts,' using simple yeast-molasses cultures in test tubes. They demonstrate understanding that several environmental factors can contribute to...

In this photosynthesis worksheet, students conduct an experiment to show the making of starch in a plant's leaves during photosynthesis. Students complete 2 short answer questions.

Young scholars perform a series of experiments on gas laws. In this chemistry lesson plan, students analyze the relationship between temperature, volume and pressure. They create a poster summarizing all the gas laws.

Student observe and quantify the respiration that occurs in yeast-molasses cultures. They complete an effective experiment in order to examine how to think critically about the results.

Students participate in a lab experiment to observe and measure the opening and closing of stomata. They focus on photoperiod, locate and identify stomata on a leaf and explain the role of stomata in the daily functioning of a plant.

Fourth graders investigate chemical changes in everyday life settings, such as cooking. They investigate leavening which is one of the classic chemical changes that people experience. Pupils observe leavening in biscuits with the...

In this article about emails and plants worksheet, students read short descriptions about 8 planets in the solar system and then imagine they are visiting one of the planets and send an email to a family member describing their...

Fifth graders discover how blood moves around the body.  In this circulatory system instructional activity, 5th graders feel their pulse before and after exercise.  Students count their heart rate. Students use the scientific...

Students discover the properties of chlorophyll in plants. In this plant biology lesson, students conduct an experiment to find where the chlorophyll in the plant is located. Students are split into small groups and study plant parts....

Students experience what it feels like to strain for air in order to empathize with people who have asthma. They create a simple model of the respiratory system to measure the effect of narrowed airway channels.

Students perform experiments to determine the PH, acidity, and buffering qualities of a lake that make them sensitive to acid deposition.

Students conduct solar experiments. They calculate the solar gain and operate a solar cell devise used to generate electricity. Students compare and contrast solar energy gain with students in India. They analyze the difference...

In this weathering worksheet, students investigate the effects of water and acid on limestone. They form a hypothesis for both and experiment to find the results.

Students become familiar with the products made from various plants.  For this plants lesson, students experiment with natural dyes from plants.  Students complete a list of things made from plants. Students answer...

Students explore the human anatomy. In this respiratory system instructional activity, students conduct an experiment to simulate the capacity of human lungs. 

Young scholars create a model of the digestive system. In this human anatomy instructional activity the students examine features of the digestive system. The young scholars perform an experiment.

Students explore photosynthesis. In this photosynthesis lesson, students label parts of photosynthesis and take notes. Students conduct experiments on leaves, make observations and record their findings.

Students participate in an experiment to define a parts-per-billion solution. For this ecology lesson, students select a second substance to create a parts-per-billion solution and observe and record their results. Students work in...

Ninth graders examine how dark surfaces absorb more light than light surfaces. They perform an experiment that compares various surfaces abilities to absorb heat, then record and analyze the results.
