Students conduct an investigation. In this energy conservation lesson, students observe and make predictions about fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs. Working in groups, students conduct an investigation to compare the two light...

Fourth graders research and complete a worksheet to understand why towns in Utah became ghost towns. In this ghost town lesson, 4th graders meet with an official to explore what makes a town thrive. Students create original posters...

In this algebra lesson, students work in groups to design a treasure map in which algebraic equations must be solved using the correct order of operations. Students decide where treasure is hidden, then create and follow their group's...

High schoolers use principles of geometry to measure the circumference of the Earth. In this applied geometry lesson, students use mathematics to determine scientific information. They make measurements, calculate the central angle,...

Fifth graders investigate chemical reactions. In this physical science lesson, 5th graders make dry ice root beer and identify the type of change that occurs to the root beer mixture.

Fifth graders examine significant events in Post-Civil War America. In this Post-Civil War lesson, 5th graders investigate the important events after the war in 19th century America. They read primary source documents about six topics...

Students understand that the rotation of the Earth is responsible for the seasons. In this seasonal cycles lesson, students learn how the rotation of the Earth affects the seasons. Students answer questions about the rotation, the...

Third graders discover elements in visual art. In this visual art lesson, 3rd graders explore the use of line, shape, and color in visual art. After reviewing works of art, students create unique art pieces. Technology resources provided.

Students examine geologic time to scale. In this geologic time lesson, students create a time-scale metaphor that shows some of the Earth's important events. Students present their metaphor to the class.

Second graders determine the correct unit of measure to use for different situations. In this measuring lesson, 2nd graders are introduced to different unit of measure. Students study the origin of measurement and practice measuring....

Students examine wave formation. In this wave instructional activity, students discover how waves are formed and how the weather at sea is predicted. Students study ocean vocabulary and understand the Beaufort Wind Force Scale.

Students perform experiments to learn about their sense of taste and smell.  In this taste and smell lesson, students watch as a blindfolded student tries to identify sounds and the direction they originate from.  Students...

Young scholars identify the challenges encountered by astronauts in operating a planetary rover. In this space science lesson, students create a rover using their team members. They follow a command sequence from the driver and navigate...

Learners identify the different requirements for photosynthesis to take place. In this space science instructional activity, students simulate conditions in Saturn to investigate if photosynthesis is possible there. They use data and...

Eighth graders draw the paths of the planets in the solar system. In this astronomy lesson, 8th graders calculate speed of objects using distance and time information. They research about the work of scientists in the 16th and 17th century.

Students build their own spectrophotometer to study light. In this physics lesson, students explain the dual nature of light. They calculate the angle of incidence and refraction using Snell's law equation.

Science stars examine the concept of energy by thinking about everyday situations. The lesson plan is incohesive. It lists goals for the student, but doesn't address all of them in the content. The best use of this resource would simply...

Second graders use a map scale to determine distances between cities in the state of Florida.

Students observe, measure and sort leaves.  In this leaf activity students divide into groups and observe the different kinds of leaves. 

Learners calculate the circumference of a circle. In this geometry lesson plan, students measure the diameter of a circle using micrometers or calipers. They investigate the relationship of the diameter to that of the value of Pi.

Students determine speed by running or walking a given distance and dividing the distance by the time it took them to do so. They record their average speed and compare it with the speeds of other moving objects.
