Students explore the concept of air. In this gravity instructional activity, students perform various experiments that deal with gravity, air resistance, and air pressure.

Students study the effects of different salients and temperatures on vertical movement of an organism.  In this experimental instructional activity students design different shapes of foil to simulate drifting planktonic organisms.

Students investigate the states of matter. In this physics lesson plan, students use water and ice to demonstrate the characteristics of a solid and liquid. Students record their observations as the state of the water changes.

Students explore the states of matter. In this physical science lesson, students observe what happens to water when it freezes and record observations. Students then observe ice when it melts and record observations.

Learners observe what happens to water as it goes from a solid to a liquid.  In this exploratory lesson students gain an understanding for the water cycle while working in groups observing what happens to water as it changes...

Students examine how organic agriculture affects farm profitability and how government programs affect organic agriculture.  In this organic agriculture  lesson students complete an activity on costs and returns. 

Students study plate tectonics.  For this plate tectonics lesson students build a cutaway scale model of the Earth. 

Pupils identify various animals and their habitats, as well as their specific traits In this animal habitat instructional activity, students list animals they've seen in their backyard. Pupils select one animal and do research. Students...

Students explore the implications of habeus corpus. In this habeus corpus lesson, students participate in reader's theatre activity regarding the origin of habeus corpus. Students then investigate the Hamdi v. Rumsfeld case and determine...

Students create videos about an element on the periodic table. In this element lesson plan, students work with partners to create a 1-2 minute video giving interesting information about their element. They include the name, symbol,...

Students examine the different parts of blood.  In this human blood lesson students work in groups and identify parts of blood and construct a model of human blood. 

Students examine maps of the 1800's and 1900's. In this geography skills lesson, students collaborate to read core maps and identify transportation centers and travel networks.

Young scholars use physics to discuss diversity. In this social interaction lesson, students use their knowledge of colors and filters to relate it to stereotyping and prejudices.

Pupils investigate Canadian people by researching the geography of the country.  In this world geography lesson plan, students identify locations within Canada with large populations based on their access to waterways.  Pupils...

Students create their own countries. In this geography skills lesson, students establish governments, cultural backgrounds, atlas/geography components, national anthems, and national symbols for a country they create.

Students test different objects such as dominoes, marshmallows, slides, and more to test their force, motion, gravity, friction, and the concept of matter. In this force and motion lesson plan, students understand that the force an...

Tenth graders evaluate the physical mechanisms that cause a change in NOx emissions. In this combustion lesson, 10th graders participate in a research project. Students create a presentation of their findings. 

Third graders act as scientists. In this property discovery lesson, 3rd graders explore the substance "Oobleck" (cornstarch, water, food coloring). They work in groups to investigate the substance and make observations as a scientist...

Students explore their weight on other planets. For this science lesson, students view a presentation about the other planets and complete a worksheet in which they make predictions about their weight on the moon and other planets.

Learners explore space science by completing a solar system identification worksheet. In this planets lesson, students discuss the different planets in our star system and identify their traits. Learners complete an orbital system...

Students observe a scientific experiment and pose a hypothesis. In this scientific inquiry lesson, students make predictions about the combination of alcohol in water and how it will affect a floating ice cube.

Students explore physical science by participating in a class experiment. In this chemistry lesson, students discuss what they predict will happen when cooking oil and water are blended together. Students utilize a plastic bottle,...

Learners examine how materials oppose the flow of an electrical current.  In this resistivity lesson students complete several experiments on the differences between resistance and resistivity.

Students examine population growth and how it impacts our environment.  In this population lesson students identify the causes and consequences of overpopulation.
