Students examine meteorites and attempt to recover meteorite fragments.  In this space lesson students complete a demonstration on the impact of a meteorite using water balloons and make experimental predictions.

In this constellation worksheet, students pick a constellation to track over time. They measure its altitude and azimuth at least three times. They make an experimental design for their research and plot their data.

Students examine the world of nature. In this early childhood lesson plan, students develop observation skills as they bird-watch and make rainbows, experimentation skills as they explore seeds and carrots, prediction skills as they...

Young scholars examine what it takes to purchase a car and the resources out there to help find what you are looking for.  In this scientific method lesson students complete different problem solving situations.

Students design an experiment to investigate how objects with different masses fall. In this physics lesson, students predict how these objects will fall in a vacuum tube. They write a report explaining experimental results and conclusion.

Students view a video about chimps and language. They work together to role play the roles of researchers and chimps in an experiment. They agree on a way to live together and each group be treated fairly.

Students create movements that connect art and science. In this body systems lesson, students interpret the function of body systems, organs, and processes as they create movements to exhibit their research findings.

Students examine an area of land and assess its suitability for construction purposes. This project requires a vast amount of hands-on experimentation, data analysis, community involvement, and job shadowing/career awareness.

Students view a video clip about the effects of El Nino. They work together to develop a question about weather folklore. They participate in an experiment that tests their hypothesis.

Students explore the properties of enzymes. In this chemical reaction lesson, students explore enzymes through a Web-quest and investigative study. Students will collect and summarize data and create a class presentation. This lesson is...

Students explore heat conductors. In this lesson on heat, students examine how heat passes through different conductors and how different materials contain heat.

In this project instructional activity, 9th graders display their data, the make a graph and they answer analysis and conclusion questions on their experimental design project. They discuss the variables of their experiment, their major...

Students investigate the density of touch receptors in various parts of the body. They discover how the body senses various stimuli, then maps a picture of the "homunculus" of the experimental subject.

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...

For this physics review worksheet, students compare experimental variable, simple machines, and Newton's Laws. Students calculate kinetic energy, work, power, speed, and velocity. Students review conduction, convection, and radiation....

In this chemical reactions worksheet, learners compare endothermic and exothermic reactions, closed and open systems, and reactants and products. Students review physical and chemical changes and how to balance equations. This worksheet...

In this atom activity, students learn about the scanning tunneling microscope and answer questions about its use, how it works and its ability to see electrons in atoms.

In this scientific method worksheet, students answer questions about the various steps of the scientific method. They distinguish between the variables in an experiment and between a hypothesis and a theory.

In this speed and experiments worksheet, students read about how to calculate the speed by using the change in distance divided by the change in time. They also read about experimental design and scientific method. Students match 5 terms...

Students design an experiment to change the motion of a rolling marble. In this designing an experiment lesson plan, students form a research question, they develop a hypothesis and they design an experiment using a graphic organizer to...

Students explore experimentation as a method for solving problems. In this movement lesson plan, students observe marbles rolling down a ramp, identify variables that could cause the marble to roll faster or farther, test changing one...

Explore the properties of oil through an experiment. They use the scientific process to investigate oil, participate in experiments, watch videos,and use information from the internet to determine how oil has changed our...

In this magnetism instructional activity, students answer ten questions about magnets, their magnetic poles, the magnetic lines of flux and how magnets work.

Students investigate how dams help and hurt the ecology of an area. In this Grand Canyon lesson, students research the Glen Canyon Dam and why it flooded in 1996. Students create a pros and cons list about dams and write a...
