Students analyze NASA data from the Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer. In this NASA data instructional activity, students access an assigned website to examine information from the MISR on the Terra Satellite. They determine how...

Students convert mole to mass to particles and vice versa. In this chemistry instructional activity, students discuss the importance of Avogadro's number. They apply what they have learned in a team competition.

Students design and construct a battery (electrochemical cell). They works in a team to design and construct a working battery and is responsible for a labeled diagram of its operation. This engaging lesson stimulate their creative juices!

Students examine the genome and discuss the ethical and moral issues surrounding it. In groups, they discover the differences between ethics and morals and discuss where the concepts of good and bad come from in society. After reading...

High schoolers explore how rechargeable batteries work by conducting a series of experiments. In this physics lesson, students discuss the benefits of using rechargeable batteries over disposable ones. They build their own battery...

Students write the electron configuration of elements using the Aufbau principle. In this chemistry instructional activity, students build their own key that demonstrates the principle.

Students explain how to make solutions with specific concentration. For this chemistry lesson, students differentiate acids and bases. They calculate molarity of solutions.

Learners calculate the concentration of different solutions. In this chemistry lesson, students explain what a solution is. They explain ways to change the concentration of a solution.

Students conduct a series of activity that demonstrates Charles' and Boyle's Law. For this chemistry lesson, students determine the relationship among pressure, volume and temperature. They solve problems using mathematical equation.

Fifth graders at this age are very interested in the adventures of knighthood and life in the past, so the unit will serve as a basis for teaching skills while maintaining high interest.

Students create a Claris slide shows from pictures they have taken of items close-up in nature after studying the works of M.C. Escher and Georgia O'Keefe. Slide shows includes captions for clues to the identity of their nature picture.

Students prepare successful wet mount slide of Elodea. They determine and identify environmental conditions that induce cytoplasmic streaming. They determine the positive aspects of cytoplasmic streaming. They illustrate knowledge and...

Students explain the basic concepts of polymerization. Students participate in a lab to create a crude preparation of carboxyl esterase and test its effectiveness in reducing the residual monomer in an emulsion such as paint.

Students explain the process of polymerization. In this chemistry lesson, students produce carboxylesterase in the lab. They test its effectiveness in removing the by-product odor.

High schoolers study cholinergic neuromuscular pathway of acetylcholine release and develop a model for drug interaction at one specific neurological site. Working in teams, students can also research different drugs or poisons and...

Students study the development of batteries. In this electrochemistry lesson, students compare the different types of batteries. They explore its applications especially in the medical field.

Eighth graders differentiate photosynthesis and respiration. In this biology lesson, 8th graders draw a diagram explaining these two processes. They answer a quiz after the lesson.

Eighth graders discuss the different types of ecosystem. In this earth science lesson, 8th graders explain the benefits and harm of fire. They research articles about bush fires or controlled burn instance and share it with the class.

Young scholars explore solubility of gases in water, Henry's Law, LeChatelier's Principal, and supersaturation of gases in water.

Eighth graders discuss the four major cycles of matter. In this general science lesson plan, 8th graders decide which of the four is the most important. They share their opinion in class.

The ingredients in Alka-Seltzer tablets undergo a chemical reaction that produces carbon dioxide gas as soon as the tablets hit water. Do you think you can cause the tablets to produce gas faster by breaking them into smaller pieces...

By using Alka-Seltzer and different temperatures of water, you can determine the effect of the water temperature on the chemical reaction of the tablet. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an...

The guided inquiry activity enables students to identify the five basic types of reactions - synthesis or composition, decomposition, combustion, single replacement and double replacement. Students will also begin to predict the products...

In this science fair project, experiment with the role temperature plays in the rate at which UV beads lose their color. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and introduction,...
