Students describe and define xenophyophores.  In this protozoa lesson students divide into groups and complete a lab activity. 

Young scholars discuss and examine the work of artist Cai Guo-Qiang.  In this art lesson, students analyze how cultural and historical factors impact the visual arts. 

Students examine the electromagnetic spectrum and demonstrate the elements within.  In this investigative lesson students complete a demonstration and calculate the energy of a photon. 

Students define the key terms that are the structure and function of DNA. In this genetics lesson students complete a lab activity in which they construct a model DNA structure.

Students compare the weathering of different-sized materials. Comparisons are made and data analyzed to reach conclusions about the process of weathering. Applications can be made for the higher grades.

Pupils take a crushed rock and sort the remains of the rock minerals into different categories based on the different properties. In this sorting lesson plan, students learn what makes up a rock and how to sort something into categories.

Eleventh graders compare the amount of sugar sand present in tree sap. In this environmental science lesson, 11th graders measure different tree circumference. They prepare a report and share findings in class.

Students review the characteristics of acids and bases. They examine the structure of an amino group and compare amines to ammonia. They work together to develop the concent of polymerization.

Students prepare single strands of muscle cell. They microscopically examine muscle cells and identify bands of darker and lighter proteins. They predict, observe, describe and quantify the effects of ions and ATP.

Students create a synthetic dye and oxidize the dye and record the effects.

Students plot earthquake and volcano data using a Compass Rose Plotting. They explain the relationship between plate movement and connection. They draw conclusions that earthquakes and volcanoes occur in predictable locations.

Students conduct Internet research to track the path of Hurricane Rita. They record the sea surface temperature of the Gulf of Mexico during and after the hurricane and draw conclusions about how hurricanes extract heat energy from the...

Students observe cytoplasmic streaming in Nitella cells. They examine the conduction of a wave of depolarization across other membranes, such as the axons of neurons. Students predict the effects of sending a small electric current...

Students use authentic satellite data on the NASA website to determine when the sea surface temperature meets the criteria to induce coral bleaching.

Students view a video about the formation of precipitates. They complete a worksheet that asks them to identify what makes a compound form and what holds it together.

In this earth and beyond science worksheet, students read through an 18 page packet containing information and questions pertaining to global carbon cycles. There are website links available on the pages where additional information on...

Learners observe crystals under the microscope. In this science lesson, students compare how the crystal look like using their eyes, hand lens and microscope. They identify the type of crystal based on the amount of light they allow to...

Students identify the different states of matter. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate the physical properties of the three states. They apply what they learned by playing a team game at the end of the lesson.

Sixth graders examine the processes and transformations that occur in carbon pools. They play a game to identify paths taken by carbon through the environment.

Pupils investigate the concepts of energy conversion and conservation. They research the history of energy conversions into electrical energy. They design experiments in order to replicate a conversion of energy into electricity.

High schoolers explore the respiratory system. They use a computer to monitor the respiratory rate of an individual. They determine residual oxygen levels in exhaled air. Students evaluate how internal 02 and C02 concentrations...

In this science worksheet, students select twenty-five scientists from the list to fill in their bingo card. Then they match each of the scientists listed to their correct description strip.

Young scholars explore evolutionary concepts in cartoons and lab activities. They describe and explain evolutionary concepts featured in a cartoon and participate in laboratory activities.
