Students discover algae. For this science lesson plan, students examine what green algae is and where it grows. Students determine the effects of oil, detergent, copper crystals sulfate and lawn fertilizer have on the growth of algae.

Fifth graders study the effects of mass on gravity. For this gravity lesson, 5th graders make model parachutes and helicopters in order to apply the scientific process and find out the effects of mass on drops of the 2 objects.

Students examine the effects of temperature and density in ocean currents. In this density instructional activity, students explain how coastal climates are impacted by ocean currents. They investigate how the ocean currents are affected...

Students discover the meaning of the word erosion and discuss effects of rocks and sticks upon the soil. They then work in small groups to construct a model of erosion to make observations and then write them in their science journals.

Learners explore convection. In this lesson on heat and energy, students investigate how heat moves in convection currents. They use their finding to better understand how convection currents effect the movement of tectonic plates.

Third graders create a flipbook. For this phases of the moon lesson, 3rd graders examine how the moon changes and phases occur.  Students create their own flipbook of the phases of the moon using file cards to create a...

Students create perpendicular bisectors. In this geometry lesson plan,students use a straight edge and protractor to create a perpendicular bisector. They graph line on the TI and analyze it.

Students explain why a transiting planet causes a periodic dimming in the light from its parent star. They determine the radius of a planet, and its orbital distance, by analyzing data and manipulating equations. Students compare the...

Students create beautiful picture frames in low relief using tooling foil and other basic supplies.

Students compare carbon dioxide (CO2) data from the Mauna Loa Observatory , Barrow (Alaska) , and the South Pole over the past 40 years to help them better understand what controls atmospheric (CO2).

Learners complete experiments in which they discover the effect of the weight of the air above them. They use different weights of paper to complete the experiment. They also examine thunderstorm safety.

Students use the Internet to do research. They organize information and make a presentation on a satellite to the class. They discuss the capability of the leading edge of technology for a given time.

Students investigate the effects of industry on natural features. They discuss the industrial revolution, and create a drawing of a river with one half illustrating pre-industrial revolution time, and the other half representing the...

Students compare a series of satellite images taken 3-4 years apart to investigate the effects of human land use. They annotate the images using ImageJ software and use the annotated images to explain their findings.

Young scholars perform experiment in which they model convection as it occurs in our Sun. They also explain that convection acts where the effect of gravity and heat are present (low density fluids can rise and cool, and high density...

Students complete experiments with soda cans to examine the effect of pressure and air movement. They create low pressure and discuss its effects. They also examine thunderstorm safety rules.

Students explore the environment and effects of pollution. They participate in a "Dirt Alert" scavenger game to study vocabulary words. Students construct a soil simulator to visually illustrate the negative effects on the environment of...

Students examine and analyze the Riparian Zones found on the edges of streams and lakes. They assess why those are such valuable ecosystems and then conduct actual field research on riparian zones and conclude by drawing conclusions from...

Learners observe the effect of heat and pressure on materials representing those involved in the formation of coal.

Students investigate data on how one's level of education effects earning potential. They define the associated vocabulary.

Students use inquiry and observation to explore Newton's third law of motion: for every action there is a reaction. In this physics lesson, students rotate through six stations set up with materials and picture directions illustrating an...

Students research symbols from Texas history and make selections for quarter designs. In addition, they include written explanations to accompany their drawings. Coin designs cultural background and visually represent patriotism and...

A very well-designed lesson plan focuses on the many benefits of Omega Fatty Acids. Learners read some articles on omega fatty acids, then access a glossary that is included in the plan. They fill in terms along with their definitions....

Create a blog spot for your classroom and promote online discussions. There are several blogging websites listed here, and you can create one specific to each class or one collective site. Teach your learners how to post on the blog, and...
