Students explore the concept of buoyancy through experimentation. Given materials of various weights and composition, they drop them in club soda and determine which substances sink or float. Students discuss their results in terms of...

High schoolers explore the concept of the colligative property. Through experimentation, students lower the freezing point of a liquid in order to create a solid by using household ingredients to create ice cream.

For this weather worksheet, students review human activities that alter the weather, especially cloud seeding experimentation. This worksheet has 8 short answer questions.

Students investigate the basic principles of air pressure.  In this experimental lesson students use materials to create several different experiments that help to explain air pressure and friction.

In this experimentation worksheet, learners review the steps of setting up an experiment, determining the correct procedure and analyzing the data. This worksheet has 23 fill in the blank questions.

Eighth graders experiment what happens when acids and bases are mixed together. In this acids and bases experimental instructional activity, 8th graders decide which of three solutions of unknown pH will neutralize a fourth solution of...

High schoolers examine the effect of chemicals from marine plants or animals on predator's preferences. In this ecology lesson plan, students conduct taste tests and collect necessary data. They write their conclusion after...

Students determine what factors affect the speed of the car. In this physics lesson, students calculate speed, velocity and acceleration from experimental data. They construct and interpret motion graphs.

Students create a scatter plot of their experimental data. In this algebra lesson, students use M&M's to determine an algebraic model. They discuss results in class.

Eighth graders record the temperature change of the beakers. For this general science lesson, 8th graders create their own data table for recording observations. They discuss experimental results and cite real life applications.

Students see how patterns can reveal events of the past, thereby merging elements of both experimental and historical science.

Tenth graders conduct a critical analysis of current evolutionary concepts. They describe how scientists continue to investigate theories. Students examine examples with experimental data that suggest alternative methods of species...

Eighth graders identify and interpret a scientific investigation and a hypothesis through experimentation and testing a hypothesis. They identify what scientists hypothesized about the communication of stingless bees. Finally, 8th...

Students explore vibrations and sound waves. In this instructional activity about hearing, students use experiments to determine how sound waves travel. Students use a saucepan, rice, and a plastic cover for one experiment and a tube,...

Two worksheets are provided here that contain the same information but ask different questions. The first worksheet has the learner draw the graph themselves before answering the questions that follow, and the second worksheet has the...

The Easter Bunny left us a bunch of eggs, but how many did he leave? Learners use the data to create a picture graph, interpret it, and answer the questions that follow. There's even easy egg cut-outs for your youngsters! 

Students find the percent composition of oxygen in potassium chlorate. In this percent composition lesson plan, students heat a sample of potassium chlorate to decompose it into potassium chloride and oxygen. They weight their initial...

This physics pun really hertz, but this STEM lesson plan can help. The inquiry-based activity has young scientists create a testable question about electromagnetic strength; plan and implement their own experiments; and record and...

In these three interpreting a pie chart and answering questions worksheets, students use the data provided to label and color code the blank and outlined pie charts, read and interpret a completed pie chart, and then answer questions...

This is the grown-up version of the classic "float an egg in salt water" experience, plus an experiment in soap making. High schoolers explore density, but more importantly, practice accuracy, precision, and the use of significant...

Students see evidence of chemical reaction and follow the scientific method to hypothesize, observe, and reach conclusions. They conduct a series of egg based experiments such as forming crystals and complete journal activities as a...

Students write a list of steps to be taken in making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. They observe as the instructor literally follows each step. After realizing the importance of clear communication, students write a scientific...

Learners recognize the importance of plants as they perform an experiment involving photosynthesis. Students determine the optimum wavelength of light for photosynthesis by exposing plants to different colors of light, collecting data,...

Students collect data about energy usage and use mathematical calculations to analyze their data. In this energy conservation and statistics math lesson, students survey their homes to complete an energy usage worksheet. Students...
