Students take a closer look at the Parthenon. In this world monument lesson, students watch PBS video segments about the reconstruction of the Parthenon in Greece. Students research how the ancient Greeks built the structure and discuss...

For this online interactive phrasal verbs worksheet, learners read 10 sentences and choose which multiple choice verb grammatically completes each sentence correctly.

Learners explain the relationship between magnetism and electricity. In this physics lesson plan, students describe the transformation of energy. They create an electromagnet and investigate the factors affecting its strength.

Students explore electricity by conducting a series of experiments. In this physics lesson, students discover the relationship between current, voltage and resistance. They calculate voltage and power in a given system.

Students measure the length, width and height of different materials.  In this design instructional activity students complete a lab to see what engineers need to consider when planning a structure.

Tenth graders examine the heating curve of water when head is added constantly over time. They input values into a calculator as they record water temperature every thirty seconds as it is heated on a hot plate. They complete the...

A few of the components of this lesson plan are not possible to carry out because the rock cycle diagram and challenge handouts are not included. Hopefully, you already have your own rock cycle diagram or worksheet to use as a concept...

Students investigate how the number of pulleys affect the difficulty or ease of pulling an object up. They watch a demonstration that shows the work done by one pulley and two pulleys. After watching the demonstration, the students break...

Students conduct a variety of experiments to see how heat is transferred using common household objects. The teacher uses the safety plans included in the lesson plan. This is ideal for inexperienced Science teachers.

Pupils explore elasticity and describe the effects of temperature changes on physical properties.  In this rubber band stretch lesson plan students complete an experimental activity and show their results. 

Learners will observe an alternative method of temperature measurement. In this scientific measurement lesson, students observe and discuss alternative systems used to measure temperature.

Students launch flying tubes. In this aeronautics lesson, students gather the materials and follow the procedures to create a paper tube that generates lift as it travels.

Students demonstrate the relationship between stress and strain, then graph stress-strain curves for various common materials. Students interpret graphed results and discuss differences in mechanical properties of materials.

Fourth graders investigate magnetism and the magnetic force.

Students examine the energy conversions and simple machines are involved in the operation of a steam engine. They make a replica of a small steam engine.

High schoolers investigate the concept of straight line motion. They determine the pattern and graph it looking for the motion maintained at a constant speed. Students also write a description of the significance of the line. The skill...

In this chemistry worksheet, learners investigate through experimentation the solidifying behavior of some edible fat mixtures by determining their cooling curves. Then they data-log equipment to obtain a large number of temperature...

Students explore reasons why using a seat belt is a safe choice while riding in a car. In this physics/safety lesson, students set up and observe a doll with and without a seat belt moving down a ramp in a dynamics cart. Collision...

Young scholars study how tectonic plates can produce earthquakes.  In this earthquake lesson students use a model earthquake machine to explore hypotheses about earthquakes. 

Students explore the uses of optical fibers, are exposed to the principles of refraction and total internal reflection, solve problems relating to the design of fiber optic cables, and compare them to copper transmission lines.

Students conduct labs to gain an overview of chemical reactions. They observe examples of synthesis, decomposition, single displacement and double displacement reactions. They identify certain products by the use of litmus and splint tests.

Students experience a positive science experiment and study fundamental concepts of measurement.

Students participate in a qualitative discussion of the distinction between weight and mass, followed by a description of astronaut mass measurements in a zero-g environment.

Fourth graders paricipate in a demonstration about bond strengths and bond types.
