Students create a bird identification game. In this classification lesson, students work in pairs to collect information about a specific bird. They use a bird field guide to aid in the research. They challenge other students in their...

Young scholars investigate the similarities and differences in soils from different states with an analysis of its physical and chemical properties.

Young scholars gather data about the 1906 and 1989 earthquakes, make comparisons between the two, and determine the factors that influence the amount of shaking that occurs in an area due to an earthquake. They identify that the...

Students use the human body as a foundation for gaining practice in measuring angles and calculating ratios and proportions.

High schoolers explore the careers available in the field of oceanography. They discover the difference between a job and a career and the need for a good education. They work together to create a presentation about oceanography.

Students observe brine shrimp as they are affected by household cleaners, develop observation scale, collect and analyze data, and discuss how household products and pesticides negatively impact environment.

Sixth graders compare distances between objects in the solar system. They investigate how light years are measured and when using them to measure how distances compare with one another. They write an essay exploring the possibility of...

Fourth graders complete a worksheet about approximate measurements. In this lesson on approximation, 4th graders compare the wingspan of a given bird to the wingspan of other birds and classroom objects.

Students are introduced to the solar system and its place in the universe. They begin to grasp the idea of very large numbers by estimating and computing how long it take the class to make a million x's.

High schoolers examine the atomic structure of elements.  In this chemistry lesson students organize elements of the periodic table according to their atomic mass, and compare their order within the periodic table. 

Students learn about artist Larry Schulte and view examples of his work. They create addition sentence for the first seven numbers of the fibonacci sequence and use unifix cubes to build that sentences. Students color and create three...

Third graders discuss light sources and collect data about energy sources. They compare data and create a multiple line graph showing energy used by light sources for each student in the group. They present their graphs and write a...

Third graders complete scientific investigation to determine what volume is and how it is determined by size not by mass. They discuss what they know about volume before proceeding with the demonstration and experimentation. After the...

Students explore finding the percent of a numbers. They survey their peers to determine modes of transportation used in getting to school. Afterward, students organize information and create graphs and charts. They explore alternative...

High schoolers conduct simple sampling of plant and insect biodiversity at ground level in two contrasting environments of their own choosing. They recognize and record different species then compare and contrast species numbers in the...

Students discover scales for both the solar bodies' relative sizes and their distances from the sun. They find equatorial circumference and volumes of their solar bodies. Students apply estimation strategies and proportioanl reasoning to...

Students explore the rationale behind the arrangement of the elements on the Periodic Table. Using internet and traditional research, students compare and contrast the properties of elements on the periodic table to determine a...

In this chemistry worksheet, students describe an atom, its parts, the charges of these parts, and atoms life functions. Then they explain what the octet rule states for the placements of electrons around the nucleus of an atom. Students...

Learners discuss the family unit and compare it to an ant colony.  In this family lesson, students draw their family and extended family and talk about their jobs and family roles. They compare this to an ant colony and observe the...

Students examine the differences between elements, compounds and mixtures. Using diagrams, they compare and contrast atoms and molecules and describe various chemical reactions. They distinguish the differences between ionic and...

Students explore the lives of bgeahvers. They identify the physical and behavioral adaptations that help beavers survive in their environment. Students compare and contrast how beavers influence the ecology of both forest and aquatic...

In this fish in the Hudson worksheet, middle schoolers read a brief excerpt about what types of fish can be found in the Hudson River in New York. They identify which fish are caught in greatest numbers and those caught in the most...

In this nuclear power worksheet, students compare fission and fusion. Students learn about the different kinds of radiation. This worksheet has 2 short answer questions and 10 matching questions.

First graders distinguish between living and nonliving objects, and compare living organisms and nonliving objects.
