Young scholars create a physics science show. In this science show activity, students research, design, and complete a physics activity to share during a science show for younger young scholars.

Eleventh graders conduct a class discussion on the historical background information of women during World War II.  In this American History lesson, 11th graders evaluate what motivated women during this time.  Students create...

Learners explore probability by participating in an experimental activity. In this number statistics lesson, students collaborate in groups in which they move a game piece around a board. Learners calculate their probability of landing...

Students design and conduct an experiment on Galileo's Rule of Falling Bodies. For this physics lesson, students collect and analyze data. They create a presentation and share it with the class.

Fourth graders examine how to conduct a reliable scientific experiment so that the results are valid. They compare and contrast the reaction of Alka-Seltzer tables, one whole and one crushed, and time how long each takes to pop the top...

Students are given a set problem, they use the scientific method to solve the problem using all steps of the scientific research. Students list the steps of the scientific method used in solving a problem. They are given a selected...

Young scholars demonstrate how to create a clear and effective instruction list to complete a task. In this experimental instructional activity students work in teams to design an object using Legos and make an instruction booklet to go...

Fourth graders work together in groups to design and complete one science experiment of their choice. Following the experimental steps, they show their experiment and the results to the class in the form of a PowerPoint. They explain...

Students, in groups, design their own experiments to determine how the mode of application of the virus extract affects the various plants that students have grown from seed.

Students construct their own pendulum. In this physics lesson, students design an experiment to find the factors affecting its period. They formulate a conclusion based on experimental data.

Students design an experiment to analyze the timbre of different instruments. In this physics lesson plan, students analyze the missing quality in sound. They discuss their results in class.

Students are given a variety of materials and are asked to design a heat loss experiment that results in a reasonable explanation of "Why don't whales have legs?" students work with the theory of natural selection.

Learners design and conduct investigations that illustrate the process of decomposition. After a lecture/demo, students simulate the process of soil composting in the classroom. They closely chart the decomposition of their soil.

Students work in groups to research biomass using the International Energy Agency's website. Students use evidence from the web search to assess biomass energy potential in Pennsylvania as part of a classroom "Alternative Energy...

Students describe differences in animal usage of habitats depending upon successional status of site. They also design other experiments to test movement patterns of animals through habitats of differing structure.

Students design and conduct experiments in order to identify the components of lake water environments that are affected by winter ice cover. They use the experiment results to propose effective human management of these ecosystems.

Students design and conduct investigations that illustrate the effect bioremediation has on organic matter and determine environmental applications. They, in groups, present their findings to the class.

Students design an experiment to test the problem of the porridge in Baby Bear's bowl as being just right while the other porridge was either too hot or too cold. They explain the steps of their experiment and record their observations...

Students explore the relationship between art and science through experimenting with color, design and recycled materials and creating their own art work.

Students conduct Internet research on Antisense Oligonucleotide Therapy. They design a puzzle to represent these processes, read and summarize an article, conduct research, and design a theoretical experimental procedure.

Students examine how to design and implement experiments.  For this paper towel experiment lesson students test the strength of paper towels. 

Students hypothesize about the nature of falling objects, design an experimental test to answer the question using everyday objects, analyze data to form conclusions, and infer that mass does not affect the speed of falling objects. This...

Young scholars plant seeds and observe the life cycle of the organism. They experimentally research the effects of radiation on seed growth. Students determine the effects of environmental pollutants on harvested seed.

Students collect chemical, physical, and biological data from a local lake throughout the year. In addition, students discuss the design of an experimental structure for water collection at several specific depths as well as assess the...
