Learners examine how salt water is more dense than fresh water through experimentation with eggs.

Third graders utilize the scientific method to explain light and optics in this five lessons unit. Through experimentation and discussion, 3rd graders canvass the concepts of light traveling, reflection and refraction.

Young scholars will examine the physics of flight through using experimental inquiry. In this lesson plan, you'll introduce your students to the four forces of flight--drag, lift, thrust, and weight--through a variety of fun-filled...

Students experiment in small groups to answer the question, "Is there a relationship between ramps and speed?" They apply a formula to calculate the speed of the cars used in the experiment, complete the associate lab report, and...

Learners define temperature and heat, distinguish between temperature and heat flow, calculate amount of heat energy released or absorbed in chemical process, and design procedure, through experimentation, to gather and evaluate data to...

Students investigate the strength of acids and bases experimentally. They answer the question, "How can pH be used to determine possible product tampering?" by testing acids and bases with litmus paper.

Students explore the reaction rates of an enzyme-mediated reaction through experimentation. In small groups, they use everyday objects to demonstrate the effects of environmental variables on enzyme function. Students graph and...

Students investigate the interference of various drugs on an embryo through experimentation. This is an open-ended lab to allow students to see effects of various chemicals humans choose to put in their bodies and create questions they...

Students use density to identify what metal a gold colored weight is made of. They use a spreadsheet to graph the experimental density of common metals and compare the know densities to their calculated density of the known metal.

High schoolers examine the velocities of two different falling objects. They produce distance vs. time and velocity vs. time graphs using a Motion Detector and a CBL 2 to collect experimental data. Learners analyze and interpret the...

Students investigate questions centered around force and motion by going through the scientific process and creating fair tests and experimentation. In this lesson about forces-in-action, students diagram their findings and explore other...

Students design a roller coaster that allows a marble to run the course as fast as possible. Students create an experimental roller coaster taking into account the steepness of the hills and the sharpness of the turns. Students use a...

For this absolute zero worksheet, students experiment with a closed-end syringe and a ice bath and boiling water. They record volumes of gases in the syringe as well as temperatures of the water and they plot their experimental data....

In this experimental relationship worksheet, learners read about direct and indirect relationships between variables in experiments. They answer three questions about relationships between variables.

Students explore digestion. In this Human Body lesson plan, students participate in six different activities pertaining to the Digestive System. Students gain understanding of digestion through experimentation and investigation. Students...

Young scholars investigate how salt affects the state of ice. In this ice cream making lesson, students change the freezing temperature by adding salt and observing the results. Young scholars use experimentation and comparison to see...

Students study the seasons of the Earth. In this seasons lesson, students study the science of the seasons on Earth by studying the tilt and axis of the Earth's orbit. Students read background information and four experimental activities...

Sixth graders experiment with an atlatl and dart.  In this sixth grade data management mathematics lesson, 6th graders explore and determine the most suitable methods of displaying data collected from their experimentation with...

In this experimental worksheet, students plant a garden using sprouts from sweet potatoes and record the process and results. Students write three short answers.

Students investigate agriculture by reading a book.  In this plant life lesson, students read the book Growing Vegetable Soup by Louis Ehlert, and examine the ingredients used in the book's soup.  Students create an...

Learners use the scientific method to design a slow cooker.  In this experimental method lesson students measure temperatures and conversions of the solar cooker that they create.

Students demonstrate how digestion occurs. In this biology instructional activity, students compare the mass of sandwiches before and after addition of HCl. They collect data and formulate conclusion based on experimental results.

Third graders compare the bouncing height of different types of balls. For this science lesson, 3rd graders explain the importance of repeated experimentation in science. They record their result and share them with the class.

Students describe how wedge and lever makes work easier. In this physics lesson, students analyze experimental data by creating a graph to see the trends. They calculate the work done and mechanical advantage of these simple machines.
