Students research lightning paying particular attention to how it is formed, where it is most likely to occur, and how most people struck by lightning survive.

Students investigate lightning. In this lightning lesson, students demonstrate how static electricity is in the air by observing how a balloon reacts to a charge.

Fourth graders compare electricity and magnetism. In this science lesson, 4th graders discuss the concepts of electricity and magnetism and brainstorm examples of electrical and magnetic forces.

In this chemistry review instructional activity, students review terms and concepts covered. Students practice metric conversions, factor labeling, temperature conversions, heat calculations, atomic structure, and gas laws. This...

Students discuss the needs for robots in space discovery, and take turns simulating a robot and controller to demonstrate the difficulties of programming a robot to successfully complete simple tasks.

Fifth graders accurately measure the distance to eight points on an uneven surface by conducting a simulation of sattelite altimetry. They create a two-dimensional model of the simulated ocean surface by graphing data from the Radar Run...

Students explore neurological disorders. They examine the presence and absence of discernible genes. Students describe neruological diseases and draw faces of affected persons. They play a human neurology disorders learning game.

In this chemistry learning exercise, students identify the three main phases of matter. Then they search for information about each element on a Chem Time Clock. Students use the chemical symbol to identify each element.

In this space science worksheet, students find the words associated with the basic terms of Astronomy. The answers are located at the bottom of the page.

In this crystal field theory worksheet, learners practice using the theory to calculate high and low spin octahedral complexes. This worksheet has 10 problems to solve.

Students investigate how robots are used in space. In this space science lesson plan, students participate in an experiment using a blindfold and complete assigned tasks. The students demonstrate how robots are "thinking" machines.

Students play the parts of robots and their controllers. In this robot lesson plan, students learn about robots, and use verbal commands to simulate how a robot would command to it's controller.

Students examine sunspots. In this sunspot lesson, students use applets to investigate the movement of sunspots. Students research sunspots and evaluate the rotation of the sun. Lesson references outside resources not available in this...

Students write a hypothesis and complete a lab.  For this investigative lesson students complete their lab and a worksheet about energy. 

Second graders, in groups, research the planets in the solar system and create a guidebook for travel.

Sixth graders construct a graph to demonstration information that they've learned about the solary system. They also write or illustrate a sonar or lunar eclipse.

Students explore Jupiter's magnetosphere. In this Jupiter lesson, students examine a diagram of the magnetic field that surrounds Jupiter.

Young scholars describe some aspects of known genetic defects on the human neurological condition. They participate in a variety of exercises including drawings, games, and analogies.

Students investigate the reasons for taking a census and determine the problems that are involved in the process. They examine the population figure for Montana and Lake county before using the information to complete the included...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] A collection of learning opportunities about electron orbitals. Includes videos, activities, discussion questions, and quizzes.

With the goal of making chemistry understandable, this site guides the learner through electron configurations with layman's terms, colorful illustrations, and questions to check learning along the way. The "Purney Cheer" is also...

Learn about atomic structure and the multiple theories of atomic structure in this simulation.

An explanation of the different types of atomic orbitals, how they are filled according to the Pauli Exclusion Principle, and how many electrons can fit in each electron shell.

This tutorial explores electron configuration. Learn about electron configuration through interactive activities, quizzes, and videos.
