Students explore what black holes are and how gravity is associated with them.  In this space lesson students are given enough information to imagine a journey to a black hole. 

Students estimate the live mass of dinosaurs. Using dinosaur and modern animal models, students use simple displacement methods to calculate the volume of the models. They calculate the masses of each model. Students compare the...

Students conduct an experiment to determine how different soils affect plant growth over a six-week period. After determining the physical properties of different types of soil, students plant various types of seeds into the soil...

Fifth graders investigate buoyancy by conducting a science experiment.  In this water properties activity, 5th graders predict which of their different paper boat designs will float for the longest period.  Students conduct the...

Fifth graders record measurements and calculate the volume. They select and use appropriate units and procedures to measure volume # use tools such as technology to solve problems

Third graders, in groups, research animals, plants, and conditions found in ecosystems.

Second graders, in groups, measure the volume of four containers that vary in shape and size.

Young scholars use a microscope and observation skills to compare and contrast several physical properties and develop a classification system.

Students explore the basics of interpreting RUSS temperature and oxygen profile data. They are introduced to the Geographic Information Systems (GIS), particularly with respect to interpreting maps.

Students examine the types of plants brought over to America from immigrants. They research how some of these types of plants cause damage and alter the landscape. They record data and share the information with the community.

Students observe a demonstration of Lenz's Law using an aluminum can and a bar magnet. They hypothesize what will occur as the can is placed in water and the magnet is lowered above it on a string. Students discover the phase shift...

Ninth graders explore the concepts of motion, velocity and acceleration through graphing their own movement using LoggerPro. They become more familiar with the computer technology. Students explore graphing in real time and graph on...

Students work with data from a seismic wave model in a freely available GIS (geographic information system) program, ArcVoyager SE. Using a GIS, they examine maps and produce graphs to explore variations in seismic wave velocities at...

Students are introduced to the topic of biotechnology. Using the internet, they research issues that have been improved or brought about because of biotechnology advancements. In groups, they participate in activities in which they...

Pupils design an experiment to determine which liquid is water. In this chemistry lesson, students perform the experiment as outlined in their design. They record observation and formulate conclusion.

After students conduct the two associated activities, Density Column Lab - Parts 1 and 2, present this lesson to provide them with an understanding of why the density column's oil, water and syrup layers do not mix and how the concepts...

This is a guided inquiry activity in which students use simple lab procedures and discussions to develop and apply the concept of density. Students collect and graph data which they use to explore the relationship between mass and...

Density is the ratio of mass to volume. Density will be introduced to students by a demonstration of coke verses diet coke. The teacher will then solve density problems for the students on the board. The class will then complete a lab on...

For this inquiry lab activity, students will attempt to layer 6 different kinds of soda pops in a large test tube using their knowledge of density and other physical properties of liquids.

Because different liquids have different properties, density also differs. In this activity from the Illinois Institute of Technology, students will calculate densities of water, dish-washing detergent, cooking oil, and other liquids.

This lab experiment has students observe and compare the density of five different liquids while measuring mass and volume.

Learners find the densities of objects based on sinking or floating in this activity that demonstrates Archimedes Principle.

A field based lab experiment where students work in groups to come up with a collection strategy and lab analysis to test differences in soil bulk densities. Students bring soil samples back to the classroom to conduct a test that...

In this chemistry field lab, students will determine the density, pH, and water content of 4 types of soil. Students compare class data and write a lab report describing their results and then analyze their findings to report on the...
