Students identify, describe, count, tally, and graph life found in one square foot of land.

Students play a game that illustrates the delicate ecological balance between fishing, fishing regulations and fish populations. They collect data and analyze the results.

Fifth graders conduct experiments to compare seed germination and plant growth rates. They construct a hydroponic plant unit and a lighthouse. They care for the plants for a month and collect data for graphs. They write a report.

Pupils discuss the topic of streamflow and how it occurs. They take measurements and analyze them. They interpret data and create their own charts and graphs.

Students experiments with levers to determine if the amount of force needed to lift a load is always the same. In this physics lesson, students use Lab-Pro data collector as they experiment with the fulcrum placement to measure the work...

Young scholars compare and contrast the various types of rocks on each continent. In groups, the calculate the rock ages and types to determine if the continents, in their opinion, were joined at one time. They develop two imaginary...

Eighth graders create solutions with 5 different densities. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders analyze the density of solutions stacked on top of each other. They document their data through graphing. This assignment requires 4 class...

Students analyze the number of times each letter in the alphabet is used in the names of the states. In this statistics lesson, students create a stem and leaf plot, box and whisker plot and a histogram to analyze their data.

Ninth graders examine the rate of motion and changes in motion using a ramp and a rolling object. They conduct the demonstration, determine the average speed, and describe how a moving object can have zero acceleration and deceleration.

Seventh graders play "What's my Rule" beginning with simple equations and working towards harder problems as student's gain confidence. They evaluate the equations by graphing them. Students identify the slope and y intercepts of the...

Students discover a sense of community by examining Post Office murals located in cities and small towns throughout the United States. They explore the significance of the murals by contacting and communicating with local Postmasters....

Students excavate an artifact. In this archaeology activity, students get a bucket filled with dirt and a broken up artifact. They work in groups to take it out and to find what its purpose was. 

Students identify variables that affect the system, and specify which variables are independent and which are dependent.

Students analyze data on elk ecology and movements across the highway. For this ecology lesson, students research ways to save them from highway collisions. They write a report and present their findings in class.

Students use the steps of the Scientific Method to develop and test their own ideas through experimentation with ants.

Students build their own lemonade stand. In this problem solving lesson, students measure the materials needed to build a stand and make lemonade. They find the cost of producing the lemonade and the profit they will make.
