Eighth graders discuss uses and disposal of common household chemicals. They select a household chemical to test for impact on plant germination. Students decide how they want to set up a seed germination project. They design their plan,...

Sixth graders examine how to select samples and apply them to an experiment. In this sampling lesson, 6th graders use a bag of yellow and blue cubes to take a sample. They predict how many of each color there are the bag. They set up and...

In this circuit worksheet students complete a series of short answer questions on using a tracer circuit.  There are answers with this worksheet. 

Students role play a power grid set up to show how increased load affects the grid. In this physics lesson, students explain the importance of electricity in their daily lives. They identify the key components of the power grid.

Middle schoolers simulate online the formation of Ape Cave, in order to better explain its construction. They observe, illustrate and discuss geological features of this lava tube.

Young scholars view a video on DNA. They discuss mitosis, meiosis and fertilization. They use strips of paper to simulate fertilization and analyze the genotype and phenotype of the combined chromosomes.

Students investigate the history of fighter kites and build their own.  In this aeronautics lesson, students discover how other countries utilize fighter kites and where they originated.  Students create their own fighter kites...

Students read different scenarios and discuss how to add fractions. in this addition of fractions lesson plan, students learn how to add unlike fractions and practice 4 problems.

Students investigate the different properties of trigonometry. In this precalculus lesson, students find the six different identities of trigonometric ratios. They relate the ratios to that of a right triangle and apply it to real life...

Young scholars explain the role of genes in heredity. In this biology lesson, students predict the offspring's genotypes and phenotypes using the Punnett Square. They compute the probability of genotypes and phenotypes.

Pupils will analyze scales as related to models and real life in this geometry lesson plan. They work together to compare the dimensions on a model as compared to the real building.
