In this money worksheet, students solve 5 word problems where they are given an amount of money in written form and make a list to help organize the information in order to add the coin values. Students make change in 4 of the problems.

Students research the evidence for prehistorically formed methane hydrates contributing to global warming. In this climate change lesson, students work in groups to research methane hydrates, global warming, The Cambrian Explosion, and...

In this heat transfer and phase change worksheet, students experiment with ice, salt, and milk to show the relationship between the temperature of a solution and its phase. Students turn milk from a liquid to a solid and graph the...

In this energy changes, rates of reactions and nuclear chemistry worksheet, learners solve 14 problems to review concepts about endothermic and exothermic reactions, heat of combustion, heat of reactions, enthalpy, kinetic and potential...

In this calculus worksheet, students calculate the rate of change in an isosceles trapezoid. They take the derivative to find their answer.

Students view video clips and create presentations to illustrate the problems in Alaska related to global warming. In this climate change lesson, students view a Quick-Time video about the consequences of global warming in Alaska. They...

In this money and coins worksheet, students participate in playing a money game that incorporates the process of making change. Students play the money game with a deck of seventy-five cards that have piggy banks with...

Second graders read the book The Mitten and discuss the changing weather and appropriate clothes to wear in certain kinds of weather. In this weather lesson plan, 2nd graders also have a literature, writing, and math component to the...

Continuing with the concept of volume and its effect on density, learners now work with a piece of clay to see if they can get it to float in water. This is a memorable end to a seven-part investigation of density. Make sure to check out...

Students play the game "Change It" and practice making words from phonic monster cards. In this "Change It" lesson, students read words and phrases that are used as functional print with visual cues. Students respond to icons, pictures,...

Dry ice is extremely cold — it is -109.3°F or -78.5°C. Scholars observe and explain the molecular motion associated with melting. Then they design their own experiments to speed up the melting process. Finally, a teacher presents a...

Students study area and quadrilaterals. In this multiplication and area lesson, students use Polystrip models to change rectangles to form different parallelograms. Students find the area of the models use a Geometer Sketchpad to find...

Four slides attempt to explain global warming. The first mentions that Earth's climate has experienced major changes throughout history, but that scientists believe humans are now changing it. The second explains why this is...

Fourth in a set of several little lessons on density, this one compares the density of fresh and salt water. First by demonstration, and then by a hands-on activity, learners find that adding salt increases the density, as is evidenced...

While the topic of this investigation is not specific to any particular discipline of science, it does serve as a practice of the scientific method. Learners set up a bowl containing boiling water, one with room temperature water, and...

Introduce middle school science learners to condensation with this presentation. It begins with a brief explanation of the process and humidity, but does not present all of the details. Three demonstrations need to be set up ahead of...

Getting back to the beginning of the unit, learners use reactions with red cabbage juice to determine if solutions are acidic, neutral, or basic. This is a straightforward and classic investigation, but what you will appreciate is the...

Young learners record observations about different coin denominations and create a song about coins to the traditional song, "The Wheels on the Bus." This lesson is based on the Tennessee Quarter Reverse, and has all sorts of excellent...

During a unit on density, pupils ponder whether or not temperature affects this property. By carefully inserting blue cold water and yellow hot water into a room-temperature sample, they will see the answer. Make sure to have done the...

Your youngsters become cheetahs in search of food, water, shelter, and space in a fun physical game that does a fantastic job of representing fluctuating species population based on resources available over years. 

Young scientists create a compost bag, predict changes, and after one month, examine the bag to observe the changes that have occurred.

Demonstrate the particle theory of matter to high school scientists with an engaging experiment that allows them to visually see the results as substances change from one state to another. The class concludes with a discussion about how...

There are five types of frost: ground frost, air frost, hoar frost, glaze, and rime. Scholars mix ice and salt in a metal container to observe frost forming on the outside of the can. Animations and videos enhance the learning. 

The film American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs introduces viewers to the differing philosophies of and strategies employed by 1960s civil rights leaders such as Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. and the debate over...
