Get things moving with this extensive collection of physical science resources. Covering the fundamentals of measurement, graphing, lab safety, and experimental design as well as the specific scientific concepts...

Why do shadows look different in the summer than in the winter? What causes day and night? How can a sundial be used to tell time? Answer these questions and more through two engaging lessons about light and shadows. Fourth and fifth...

Introducing ... the Transmographer. Young mathematicians investigate translations, reflections, and rotations. The applet lets users perform transformations on triangles, squares, and parallelograms.

Scholars see cross sections come to life using an app to investigate cross sections of three-dimensional solids. They look at prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones, and double cones.

Students investigate technology and its many designs to make our lives easy. In this science lesson, students build a hot air balloon and answer specific questions about weight and rides in the hot air balloon. They analyze their data...

In a math or life science class, "mini-me" models are created with cardstock to reflect a 1:10 scale of students' bodies. Learners measure each others' heights with meter sticks, and then reduce the size by 10. After this exercise, they...

Students investigate the growth rate of a man named Bob Wadlow.  In this growth rate of a man lesson, students determine if the growth rate of this particular man was normal or abnormal.  Students bring in data of their height...

Fifth graders work in groups to investigate the proper use of a graph during a schoolyard ecology project. The challenge of the project is for students to choose the proper form of a graph. They gather data and conduct analysis with the...

Students explore concept of functions as relationships, as machines, as equations, and as graphs.

Students derive the six trigonometric identities. In this trigonometry lesson, students review the parts of a right triangle and use the Pythagorean theorem as a guide to find the trig identities. They find sine, cosine and tangent ratios.

Learners investigate properties of the unit circle using sine, cosine and tangent. They analyze the answers to questions about the unit circle based on a right triangle.

Solving problems on the TI graphing calculator can be quite easy. High schoolers observe the properties of transformation of functions and create a formula for the transformation.

Students build conductivity testers and investigate which solids and solutions conduct electricity. Working in groups, they predict which items will conduct electricity and record their answers on worksheets.

Clay itself sinks, but clay boats float. Why? Young engineers build clay boats to learn about buoyancy. They test the weight the boats can hold using washers and then tweak their designs to make improvements, following the engineering...

Students investigate the properties and idea of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this algebra lesson, students identify the different parts of a right triangle and relate it to the Pythagorean Theorem. They do a robotic experiment to...

Young scholars investigate how to reduce, recycle, and reuse items in order to conserve natural resources. They complete a trash graphing activity after discussing different types of trash. Finally, the examine ways to buy recycled...

Young scholars investigate wind and weather by creating a weathervane.  In this environment lesson, students identify the purpose of a weathervane and observe weathervanes in action on their campus.  Young scholars create a...

Students discover new ways to preserve the ecosystem by completing graphic organizers.  For this environmental lesson, students read an article from the Natural Inquirer in small groups and fill out a graphic organizer based on the...
