In this prisms worksheet, students answer 10 multiple choice problems about prisms.  Students determine the number of faces a prism has, characteristics of figures, etc.

Students research the development and implementation of a research vessel/vehicle used for deep ocean exploration. In this oceanography activity, students calculate the density of objects by determining the mass and volume.

Students define density and observe that things that are less dense than water will float. Students find the density of copper, iron and aluminum

Students measure water and make predictions about efficiency.

Students develop a graphic way of visualizing the concept of a million by utilizing what had happened to the Nashua River due to the dumping of raw sewage in 1962.

Third graders investigate the architecture of Ancient Rome, The Pont du Gard, an aqueduct in Nimes, France; The Pantheon and Trajan's Column in Rome; and various triumphal arches throughout the land that was once the Roman Empire are the...

Students, in groups, use song lyrics and math to descrie two and three dimensional shapes.

Second graders read poetry and build their vocabulary through use of the puppet Geo George.

Second graders explore how musical instruments h ave varying geometric shape, and how those geometric shapes correspond to three-dimenaional shapes that students have studied.

Students list their favorite cars and create graphs of their favorites. Students determine how the graphs would change as their choices change.

High schoolers evaluate the relationship between oxygen levels and the amount of organic matter in an aquatic ecosystem. They explain the relationship between oxygen levels, bacteria and the breakdown of organic matter using an indicator...

Students determine the effects of an increase of the amount of nitrate and phosphate levels on the growth of algae. the development of a hypothesis is encouraged and students proceed to a conclusion based on their results.

Students make a mace as a symbol of the legislatures authority to make laws.

Middle schoolers realize that density exists. They develop a mental model of density-to realize that something is going on that they cannot see to account for differences between materials.

Middle schoolers complete activity sheets and participate in discussions while they study dendrochronology. They determine a tree's age and recognize how the climate varied over time.

Students examine soil samples for the presence of organic matter. They determine which soil sample from their area contains the highest amount of organic matter.

Students observe the process of transpiration in leaves. They measure how much water a leaf gives off in a 24-hour period, calculate the volume, and answer discussion questions.

Students perform an experiment to determine how different salt concentrations affect the liver's ability to break down toxic hydrogen peroxide. They record and average their data which is then graphed.

High schoolers measure and compare the amount of vitamin C in orange juice samples. They discover the effects of different factors on the concentration of vitamin C. They participate in an experiment to test the orange juice.

Students estimate the size of a molecule of oleic acid. They conduct an experiment using chalk dust, water, and oleic acid, solve various calculations, and answer discussion questions.

Students observe a simulation of a cyclone to examine a method of pollutant recovery in cleaning industrial air pollution. They examine how engineers develop technology to reduce air pollution and determine percentages for technology...

Students conduct an experiment in which a solution of copper(II) sulfate is added to iron filings. They write and balance the equation for the reaction that occurs and calculate the amount of iron that reacted and the percent yield of...

Young scholars use a machine called a spectrophotometer to determine how much light is absorbed by certain substances. Students record the absorbance and the % of light transmitted for different color solutions, graph their results, and...

Students perform an experiment in which they put different types of salts in a balloon, fill it with hydrogen gas, and ignite it. The electrons in the salt molecules are excited by the heat and release energy in the form of light. ...
