Middle schoolers examine recycling efforts. In this environmental stewardship activity, students trace recycling efforts and script a skit regarding incandescent light bulbs' effect on the environment.

Students explore physical science by completing a lab assignment. In this sunlight lesson, students define a list of scientific vocabulary terms and complete fill in the blank questions. Students conduct a photographic experiment in...

Young classes are sure to get a charge out of this lesson plan! Learners experiment with circuits of a solar cell. They practice determining current, voltage, and power for the circuit and maximize the voltage and current of the cell.

This note card has six items on it, three are matter and three are not matter. your class should be able to classify each and explain the characteristics of matter.

It's not easy to find fabulous physics lesson plans, but School Power Naturally has put together a series of them. In this particular lesson, high schoolers learn about the structure and functioning of photovoltaic cells. They construct...

Young scientists discover that air is a mixture of different gases - mainly nitrogen and oxygen. The properties of some of the other gases found in oxygen are listed in a table, then learners must decide which one of those gases is...

In this electrical circuit worksheet, students follow a pre-planned lab activity to demonstrate a series and parallel circuit. They record their observations and answer 4 questions. This document is printable and the answers are not...

Students examine current school energy use and focus on energy saving measures that could be implemented. In this energy lesson plan, students are also encouraged to raise awareness of energy saving practices and behaviors throughout the...

Students watch instructor present demonstrations of the basic principles of static electricity, and then conduct some of their own experiments. In small groups, students build simple circuits, using batteries, to try to light up a light...

In this energy conservation worksheet, students answer questions about energy sources and energy use. The worksheet includes both true/false and multiple choice questions. There are 22 questions with answers.

In this ecology awareness instructional activity, students read a poem written on a polar bear's tummy that tells how changing light bulbs and saving energy will help save the polar bear and then color the bear. Students color 1 picture.

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

Students design an energy resource wheel and demonstrate how to use it to access information about renewable and nonrenewable energy sources.

Eighth graders examine how electricity is produced in relation to the atom as well as what causes electric current to flow and what determines how much current flows through a circuit. These and other concepts of transformation of energy...

Fifth graders investigate electricity and how it used in a circuit to be useful energy. They also use this investigation in order to understand how energy can change forms and still be considered useful if put into the right form.

Young atmospheric scientists create models of an atmosphere with and without clouds to determine the effect of cloud cover on Earth's temperatures, as well as figuring out whether dark or light surfaces absorb more energy. You may wish...

Conduct an experiment with batteries to make a simple circuit. Fifth graders read the provided information, consider the two circuits, and determine which one is complete. An electrically charged experiment suggestion is included. Tip:...

Students observe the colors found in the flame of a burning candle and examine the basic concepts of matter and energy. Students apply this information to the color's of starts and the temperature of the stars photosphere. Students...

Students use electricity and plant a seed to observe the process when coal is the major fuel source to produce electricity. They use the packet of native seeds to experiment with revegetation.

Students identify and implement methods to standardize testing stations that measure solar panel output power. After collecting electrical ouptut data from several solar panels, they plot the current-voltage and power curves. Students...

Learners investigate how something at home uses physics to work. For this practical physics lesson, students develop a theory of their own to conclude how an object might work. This lesson plan includes a worksheet.

Students assemble snow goggle models and discuss how snow goggles change the amount of light shining in their eyes.

Students examine how to make an electrical circuit. They listen to a teacher led discussion, design a switch to control a circuit, and construct a signaling device.

Students review the garbage/landfill graphs included with the lesson. They discuss the information on the graphs and discuss which garbage products come from their homes. Students collect examples of over packaging to share with class...
