How do spacecraft detect magnetic fields? The fourth installment of a five-part unit has learners develop a device with magnets that allows for the detection of magnetic fields. They use a map of an imaginary planet to try out their...

Introduce your class to nanotechnology applications with three demonstrations that showcase scientific principles related to ferrofluids, quantum dots, and gold nanoparticles. Groups will work more closely with these applications in the...

Discover Ancient Egypt! Learn about mummification and gods, visit pyramids and temples, examine cliff carvings and paintings, take quizzes and engage in activities. Colorful, interactive, and easy to use, this app is not just for kids!

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 scholars harness the power of the sun to design, construct and evaluate a solar-powered model car of their creation. They race their cars in a "Solar Sprint" race modeled after the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Junior...

Students explore oxygen properties by conducting a cell experiment in class. In this respiration lesson, students discuss the process of breathing and how oxygen is inhaled before carbon dioxide is exhaled. Students utilize yeast, water,...

In this cellular respiration learning exercise, high schoolers answer 34 questions in a variety of types including fill in the blank, short answer and matching. All questions focus on specific parts of the respiration process.

Seventh graders explain the mechanism of digestion. In this biology lesson plan, 7th graders perform an iodine test to check for the presence of starch. They discuss how energy travels through the food chain.

Students engage in an interactive "hot potato" demonstration to gain an appreciation for the flow of electrons through a circuit. They role play the different parts of a simple circuit and send small items representing electrons (paper...

Seventh graders assume the role of stockholders in a fictitious biotech company. After investigating the cloning of pets, the effects of cloning on the health and well being of the cloned animal, and the ethical issues involved, groups...

Students use a battery, wires, small light bulb and a light bulb holder to learn the difference between an open circuit and a closed circuit, and understand that electric current only occurs in a closed circuit. They describe the...

Students construct a simple robotic energy transformer. In this space science lesson plan, students explain how energy is transformed from one form to another. They identify the different uses of robotic devices.

Students define the key terms that are the structure and function of DNA. In this genetics lesson students complete a lab activity in which they construct a model DNA structure.

Students comprehend that energy is required to move substances across the cell membrane against the concentration gradient.

In this molecules worksheet, students read a 1 page article on molecules and then answer 10 true or false, multiple choice, short answer and/or fill in the blank questions referring to the article.

Students study silicon and where it comes from.  In this solar mining lesson students complete an Internet search of mining and a lab activity. 

Students examine the role photosynthesis plays in plant survival.  In this renewable energy instructional activity students document their observations and analyze and interpret their results. 

Learners create their own food chains on Kidspiration starting from the energy of the sun and what it creates. In this food chains lesson plan, students learn about how insects eat plants and so on.

Students study chloroplasts, their structure and evolution.  In this photosynthesis lesson plan students experiment with polarized light and the production of chlorophyll.

Students define aerobic and anaerobic respiration. They compare and contrast the processes of aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Students identify organisms that use the processes of aerobic and anaerobic to synthesize energy from food.

High schoolers recognize the benefits of ethanol and study photosynthesis.  For this ethanol lesson students complete an experiment that shows the procedure that starch can be hydrolyzed by salivary amylase.
