Electrify your pupils' interest in conductors and insulators with a brief reading passage! After reading the text, learners respond to five questions that relate to the content of the passage.

There's quite a bit in this physical science packet. First, how is heat transferred? Learners read a brief explanation of conduction, convection, and radiation before identifying common occurrences (with pictures) as one of the three....

If you need a clarification of the electron transport chain for your pupils, then this slide show will be a great help. There are nice images of the membranes and elaborations of chemiosmosis which will provide learners support with...

Kim B. Foglia has designed a comprehensive series of AP biology worksheets. This one focuses learners on the progression of photosynthesis in plants. In this assignment, they identify structures and steps on high-quality diagrams, use...

Two blooms of phytoplankton, instead of just one, now occur in the Arctic due to declining sea ice, which will have widespread effects on the marine life and climate. In small groups, participants build an Arctic food web with given...

Did you know horsepower is actually based on the power of a horse? 60 horse power is the equivalent of being pulled by a team of 60 horses! Viewers will learn other interesting facts like this from a presentation that begins with the...

Sixth graders produce yogurt in the classroom as an example of the use of microbes in food production, and record observations in science journals.

Students investigate the role of sponges in our oceans.  In this biology lesson, students create a diagram visualizing how sponges bring food into their bodies through a filtering process.  Students discuss the connections...

Students make observations and describe the filter-feeding in sponges as it relates to the ecological role of sponges on coral reefs. In this filter-feeding in reef sponges lesson, students are introduced to the feeding methods of...

Students role-play coyotes looking for natural resources.  In this natural resources lesson, students examine the relationship between animal life and the environment.  Students play a game that demonstrates how natural...

In this worksheet on the life cycle of the butterfly, students look at 4 pictures representing the life cycle stages, and choose words from a word box that match each picture. Students then number the pictures in the correct order of...

Students explore animal and plant adaptation.  In this ecosystems science lesson, students view websites to gain information about plankton and its  interdependence within ecosystems. Students identify ways in which plankton...

Students create a KWL chart about food. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate physical and chemical changes. They explain how microorganisms are used in food preparation.

Students describe DNA and the roles in which engineers are involved with the human body.  In this DNA lesson plan students participate in a class demonstration. 

Seventh graders identify the different parts and functions of the cell. In this biology instructional activity, 7th graders make a labelled diagram of either a plant or animal cell. They write a story about it.

Students record information and write journal entries on the structure and function of cell organelles while viewing a Powerpoint presentation.

Students use a purchased kit to build a solar powered car. They connect a solar photovoltaic panel to a motor which runs the car forward and backward. They determine how to wire the car to move in both directions.

The forestry presentation found here lists and describes a variety of tree diseases. A few unappetizing photos are included to show symptoms of some of these diseases, or the insects and fungi that cause them. If you have a class that is...

In this electrochemistry worksheet, students determine the voltage of a cell based on the reduction potentials. Students write a condensed cell diagram and the oxidation half reaction for the cell. This worksheet has 30 problems to solve.

Students observe a series of demonstrations to illustrate wave movement. In this sound wave lesson, students witness how objects create waves when dropped in a dish of water, use a rope and slinky to produce transverse and longitudinal...

Students utilize Internet resources to uncover the pros and cons of two topics in alternative energy technology: photovoltaics and fuel cells. Students analyze the structure and function of each system to make observations about the...

Students examine how fuel cells and combustion engines work. Using the internet, they research the positives and negatives of the various energy sources. In groups, they complete an experiment with a working fuel cell model and take a...

Seventh graders explore the cell cycle. They view pictures of different stages of mitosis and explain why cells reproduce. They identify the five phases of mitosis: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

In this biology instructional activity, learners identify and locate various vocabulary terms pertaining to cell processes and energy. There are 19 biology terms located in the word search.
