Students construct their own water filter to obtain clean water. In this filtration lesson plan, students produce tainted water in order to properly filter it with filtration devices made in class.

Students predict, experiment, and draw conclusions about the safety of drinking water. In this ecology lesson, students participate in an experiment to determine if they can taste or see contamination in drinking water. Data is collected...

Discuss the availability of clean, plentiful water and the causes of water pollution. In groups, sixth graders discuss problem-solving methods for keeping water clean. They explore the function of water treatment plants and perform...

Students conduct a water quality experiment on a local stream using benthic organisms as a water quality indicator. Based on the results from the experiment, students determine how engineers use this background information to make...

Students explore water properties by conducting a class experiment. For this buoyancy lesson, students make predictions as to whether or not specific objects will sink or float in water. Students conduct the experiment and record their...

Third graders cut open a pumpkin. In this math lesson, 3rd graders complete the worksheet "From Seed to Pumpkin" and then clean out their pumpkins to see how many seeds are in it.

Learners perform serial dilution of food coloring experiment with partner, examine concentration levels, and differentiate parts per million (PPM) and parts per billion (PPB). Students complete pre-lab and post-lab questions and data table.

Use STEM activities within the class to provide connections to concepts. The resource includes activities that range from working with buoyancy to building rockets and launching them. Other activities involve the engineering design...

Students investigate geometry with the use of a creative project. They review relevant vocabulary that includes turn, flip, side, and angles. Students also practice conducting transformations used as inspiration for the project. Then...

Students explore paper making. In this cross curriculum multicultural ecology and art lesson plan, students follow written and oral instructions to make paper using common household items. Students predict the amount of paper use in...

Second graders use knowledge of measurements and ratios to mix various combinations of liquid starch and glue. They chart their ratios, make observations, and write a summary of the activity. They mix their own batch of Crazy Putty to...
