Students collect, interpret and analyze weather variable data. They describe atmospheric variables that affect evaporation. Students create graphs and analyze the information collected.

In this space science worksheet, students learn 4 facts about the sun. Students also read a short passage about the sun to gain more information.

Students identify the law of superposition and it states that beds of rock in a series are laid down with the oldest at the bottom and younger layers on the top. They construct a legen for a block diagram and construct a block diagram...

Learners examine the work of scientists and determine how they test their theories.

Students explore Jupiter's Moons. They calculate and predict the location of Jupiter's 4 large moons. In addition, they draw Jupiter with its moons correctly shown for the time of the observation.

Students participate in an experiment to define a parts-per-billion solution. For this ecology lesson, students select a second substance to create a parts-per-billion solution and observe and record their results. Students work in...

Students, in groups, observe the effect of water and ice on surface features of the land. They alsoexplore erosion and deposition.

Students monitor rainfall, compute daily averages, and compare their methods of computation to those used by actual researchers using satellite observations.

Pupils work together in groups to complete an astronomy project. In the classroom, they find real objects to represent various objects in the solar system. After going outside, they practice using a distance scale and use their objects...

Students recreate sea-floor spreading and the pattern of magnetic stripes that are created by different configurations of plate boundaries. They see how transform faults work.

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of water chemistry. They conduct research using a variety of resources. Students also consider an experiment to observe how water has the abiility to exist as three different...

Young scholars create a poster describing the five characteristics of a salt water organism compared to a fresh water organism.

Students create balloon and rubber band models of robotic rovers to investigate the concepts of mass, torque, and friction. Through research and planning, students construct a rover test-bed that simulates the Martian environment.

Young scholars analyze an article written by an engineer at NASA proposing colonizing Mars with human explorers on the fastest track possible. They are invited to react to the article through several activities.

Students identify and describe the steps in the water cycle. They discover the sun as the source of the cycle. They work together to create their own water cycle model.

High schoolers develop an awareness of the evolution of the scientific method. They facilitate the student's knowledge of looking at variables from different perspectives. Students develop their abilities to defend their ideas with...

In this ESL holiday lesson activity, students read a passage about Buy Nothing Day, then complete a variety of comprehension and vocabulary activities. 

Students examine the checkpoints along the Iditarod Trail. They calculate the distances, mean and medians between each checkpoint. Using the internet, they follow along a virtual trail. They answer questions about when it would be more...

Students use the internet to research statistical information on the musher dogs participating in the Iditarod. Using the data, they create three different types of pie charts. They use the charts to answer questions about the dogs. They...

Students explore the life forms that live in the hot springs of Yellowstone. They examine how microscopic creatures can survive in these extreme conditions. Students perform experiments to observe growth samples and demonstrate how a...
