Students discover how sound is produced by objects and picked up and heard by humans. Using musical instruments, they identify how the quality can affect the loudness, pitch and tone of the sound. They develop their own instrument or a...

Pupils describe how electric charges exert forces on each other as well as compare the strengths of electric and gravitational forces. They distinguish between conductors and insulators. In addition, students examine voltage and...

Students are introduced to the characteristics of trees and different techniques to identify them. They distinguish between a deciduous and a coniferous tree. Students describe at least four characteristics used to identify trees. They...

Third graders use the scientific process to explore the effects of force on an object in motion. They demonstrate that the greater the force applied to an object, the greater the change in speed or direction of the object. They...

Make wind detectors with paper plates, ribbon, and streamers. Go for walks over an extended period of time to observe and record the effect of the wind on the detectors and other observable objects (leaves, grass, etc.).

Students create a watercolor painting of a color or an object that make the student feel a certain way. They describe how this color makes them feel through writing a short poem.

Students investigate how to find the density of fluids and solids using math. Students also learn how to find the density of regular and irregular shaped objects.

Young scholars examine different artifacts and determine the difference between personal and cultural objects. They collect items from their home of cultural importance as well. They identify all they can from artifacts they are given to...

Learners investigate the human circulatory system by experimenting with hoses.  In this human body lesson, students create a system of hoses simulating the circulatory system which they utilize to pass objects through....

Students identify an animal and a body part and then matches a body part to a specific animal. This will assess their ability to sort organisms and objects into groups according to their parts and describe how the groups are formed and...

Third graders use mental-math strategies to solve two-digit plus two-digit addition problems. They observe and discuss online demonstrations, solve word problems as a class, and independently solve problems and describe their solutions...

Second graders research the design of and purpose of magnets. They investigate a group of objects to discover which things are attracted to magnets. Observe the effect that lodestone has on iron fillings. Summarize observations.

Students develop a formula that describes the functional relationship of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Working with a partner, they measure the diameter and circumference of circular objects in order to discover the...

High schoolers conduct research in order to find the effects of properties exposed to heat and how they change temperature. They consider the effect of sunlight upon objects that are placed outside with the help of an experiment. They...

Second graders investigate how objects can be described, classified and compared by their composition. They recognize that the same material can exist in different states. Students verify that things can be done to materials to change...

In this movement worksheet, students will complete 5 sentences by filling in the blank with vocabulary words associated with movement: acceleration, gravity, and speed. Then students will be given 3 units of measurement and they will...

In this math worksheet, learners describe how to define surface area given a variety of situations from word problems. They solve for the volume using calculus.

Second graders investigate the properties and uses of rocks. They sort magazine pictures into the categories of living and nonliving, play a game of I Spy for objects made of rock, and make rubbings of the rock items for their Rock...

Students identify shapes and manipulate 2 and 3 dimensional objects. They view objects from different perspectives and review relative positions (near, far, between). They sing a shape song.

Sixth graders explore three-dimensional objects. Using various objects found in the classroom, they identify faces, edges, and vertices of objects. Students create their own objects. They describe the polydron, telling the faces,...

Seventh graders determine the center of gravity of an object. They get card stock objects to balance on pencil eraser and a meter stick to balance with same # of weighted string(s) on each side. They get meter stick to balance with...

Students are introduced to potential and kinetic energy through the example of a ball being thrown straight up in the air. They are then told that the energy associated with the position of the object is referred to as potential energy....

In this math worksheet, students use the theory of quantum mechanics to determine the relative position of objects and how motion could affect them.

Learners experiment with magnets and sort objects based on magnetism. For this hands-on physical science lesson, the children are introduced to magnetism through discussion and experimentation and have the opportunity to use different...
