Youngsters listen to the story, "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly." After discussing the story, going over new vocabulary, and repeating the rhymes in the story, they study the parts of a fly. They finish by creating a fly on...

High school physical scientists collide with motion. They work in pairs to design a paper car that will protect a raw egg during a head-on collision. Measurements of distance traveled, time of run, vehicle specs, and photo gate flags are...

Investigate a heated topic in environmental science. Scholars team up to play the parts of gas molecules in the atmosphere. As the teacher moves about, acting as the electromagnetic wave, learners react as their molecules would to the...

A food web has no organism higher than a tertiary consumer because there wouldn't be enough energy left to sustain them. The fourth installment in a seven-part series begins with a nature walk to get pupils thinking about their...

The first nine slides visit the history of our understanding of atoms. The next several outline the structure of atoms. Subatomic particles, electron configuration, and diagramming methods are introduced. This is a neatly organized...

It takes some work to ensure you have a balanced diet, but once you know the types of foods that are good for you, it becomes second nature. In the sixth of seven lessons about energy and nutrition, learners create a healthy eating plan...

Build an air lift siphon using your mad physics skills! Learners first investigate the importance of circulating water in aquaponics systems. They then use density to their advantage as they engineer an air lift siphon

Astronauts train underwater to simulate the change in gravity. An out-of-this-world unit includes three hands-on activities, one teacher demonstration, and a discussion related to some of the challenges astronauts face. Scholars apply...

An educational lesson focuses on the idea of conservation of matter through a demonstration of the water cycle, a discussion of digesting food, and the path of carbon and oxygen atoms as they change form. 

Clean up the environment with a lesson that focuses on replacing hazardous cleaning supplies with green, environmentally-friendly products. Using a dirty patch of surface as a control area, kids clean other parts of various surfaces...

In this science worksheet, learners explore the learning outcomes for a unit on chemical reactions. Students define 60 vocabulary words and answer a list of questions for each topic.

Students explore human energy components. In this personal health lesson, students determine how food, sleep, and exercise impact human energy levels as they play BAM! Body and Mind  interactive games. Students create motivational...

In this work and power learning exercise, students complete a crossword about units of power and energy. Students complete 12 blanks in the crossword.

By viewing this PowerPoint your students' understanding of molecular energy should increase. The properties and inter-particular forces are summarized. The logical progression of information is useful, but more data to demonstrate...

Practice reading an analogue meter in this PowerPoint about energy consumption. The equations connecting voltage and current, work force, and distance are given. Then household energy consumption is described. The slides will prompt much...

Students discover the power of the sun through an outdoor experiment.  In this solar power instructional activity, students view a PowerPoint presentation on atoms before they complete an atom worksheet.  Students utilize a...

These slides give sets of facts and trivia about gamma rays. Your physicists will learn the dynamics of scattering photons and energy involved in gamma ray bursters. The concepts are quite involved making this PowerPoint a nice addition...

Students review data from a 24-hour dietary recall to gain an understanding of the information regarding energy intake and macronutrients.

High schoolers study energy generation by the Sun, which involves atoms and nuclei.

Students explore how the blood flows and carries oxygent from the lungs to the heart and to the body to create energy after participating in chasing, fleeing and dodging activities. They actively move through an obstacle course...
