Students use S'COOL data to identify factors that affect cloud formation. They find a data set using the S'COOL database , and use Excel to manipulate the data. Student isolate relevant data, create meaningful graphs from a spreadsheet,...

Here is an academic presentation intended for those teaching small groups or engaging in human management. It defines personality types and traits in terms of personal background factors, then uses concrete theory and research to provide...

Learners investigate poor health habits by identifying their own exercise habits.  In this physical education lesson, pupilsdiscuss specific pressures and situations that lead them to make poor exercise decisions at home. They bring...

Do not let the class just sit and rot. Pupils learn how decomposition and nutrient recycling is important to an ecosystem. Groups design an experiment to determine how environmental conditions affect decomposition. They develop a poster...

Students identify and define the four factors of production on a diagram. Using a product they use everyday, they write down which natural resources are used to make the product and what type of skills the workers needed to make it. In...

Students share their prior knowledge of the elements of the environment. In groups, they are introduced to the concepts of biotic and abiotic factors in a specific environment. They discover their effects on organisms living in the...

Students use Geometer's Sketchpad to examine the scale factor when in is applied to the length of a figure's sides. They look at how the scale factor affects the side lengths, perimeter, and area of the figure that result. They work with...

Life has its ups and downs ... especially if you're an animal! Biology scholars engage in a population study through an inquiry-based lesson. Pupils work together to explore the factors that affect deer populations, then examine the...

A change is coming. Pupils use unit cubes to investigate how changes in the length, width, and/or height affects volume and surface area. They extend the results to write and test predictions on the effect of changing multiple sides on...

High schoolers investigate the factors which affect corrosion. In this corrosion lesson plan, students experiment with 2 nails, copper wire and magnesium ribbon placed in a petri dish of agar solution, potassium ferricyanate and an...

Collaborating chemistry pupils observe that temperatrue increases the movement of dye throughout water, stirring increases the dissolving rate of sugar cubes, and concentration of solutions increases the chemical reaction rates. These...

Before loaning a friend money, what factors would you consider and why would you lend it? Your young economists will face questions like these in a instructional activity on banking, profit, risk, and reward, which includes the...

Students design an investigation using yeast. In this environmental engineering lesson, students design an investigation to determine how environmental factors affect the growth of yeast. They will collect quantitative data and discuss...

What led Americans to head west in the 1800s? Using an interactive map and journals from those who traveled, pupils explore the stories of those who migrated. In addition, they see how the numbers fluctuated in response to the push-pull...

Young scholars investigate some of the factors that determine the amount of runoff. They are reminded that infiltration and runoff tend to work oppositely. When conditions are bad for infiltration they usually lead to runoff.

In this population worksheet, students will brainstorm 6 different factors that can affect an organism's population. Students will write down their ideas in this graphic organizer.

Pupils listen to a lecture on four factors that influence microbial growth and they discuss how to test the optimal growth requirements of a designated bacterium. They design and carry out laboratory investigations to test growth of...

Fifth graders examine how environmental factors affect decomposition. In this decomposition instructional activity, 5th graders experiment with the decomposition of grapes in five different environmental settings. They look at images of...

Students design and conduct an experiment to determine the effect of salinity and temperature changes in the movement of ocean currents. In this earth science instructional activity, students record observations and collect data. They...

Students conduct experiments showing the greenhouse effect. In this scientific experiment lesson plan, students test for CO2 concentration, water vapor, ground albedo, and clouds. They describe what factors affect temperature and how...

Students investigate the effect of weight on normal friction or the friction due to surface roughness. They tell about the effects of contact area that occurs as a result of molecular attraction by looking at data on line graphs.

A total of five experiments lead chemistry pros to understand the difference between physical and chemical change. They also experiment with exothermic reaction factors that affect rate of reaction. The procedures are not written in the...

Pupils participate in an experiment in which they investigate the factors affecting the levels of nitrates in groundwater. Using examples, they explain the nitrogen cycle and identify the sources of chemical nitrogen fertilizers. They...

Examine how climate and landforms affect plants and animals that live in particular areas. Discover that these same factors affect peoples' homes, jobs, and recreational activities. Pupils research ecosystems and biomes, and then write...
