Students are able to analyze practices that affect the use, availabiltiy, and management of natural resources. They are able to show that the forces of friction retards motion. Students investigate electricity and magnetism as...

Learners build and work with a simple ammeter to test theories on why solar cells connected in parallel produce more current that in series. Students use the ammeter to indicate the presence, direction, and strength of an electric...

In this word search worksheet, students search for 32 hidden words found vertically, horizontally, backwards or diagonally. Words are words encountered during visits to "The Jefferson Labs."

Seventh graders experiment with white light, plane mirrors, and curved mirrors in order to demonstrate the physical principles of living systems. In this physical principles lesson plan, 7th graders take 3 days to discover what happens...

Students determine the muzzle velocity of projectile launcher. In this physics lesson, students compare the pendulum method and kinematic method in calculating the initial velocity. They analyze data and discuss results in class.

Students determine the spring constant by conducting an investigation. In this physics instructional activity, students collect data and create a graph of force vs. displacement. They compare the results of two different methods to find...

Students demonstrate sound waves and make changes in the waves resulting in changes in pitch. Students associate changes in pitch in various "musical instruments"with size and shape and the sound waves they produce.

In this science worksheet, students look for the words that are related to the theme of the sheet in the word search. They also work on spelling skills.

Students design a program to make an automated vehicle perform a specific task. In this robotics lesson, students play the role of scientists competing to win a factory's contract. They present their algorithm to class.

Students examine the observation of "coronal holes," by x-rays, also about related fast streams and moderate magnetic storms that recur at 27 day intervals. They study NASA'S great observatories.

Students explore magnetism and magnetic phenomena on the Sun.

Tenth graders should explain some basic properties of electricity and know how electricity is produced. They should also explain the electrical components that make up electric circuits.

Pupils using experiments try to demonstrate how observations can be affected by the cycles of night and day.
