Students investigate surface tension and bubbles. In this scientific inquiry lesson plan, students explore how the surface tension of water is able to support tiny objects that actually weigh more than the water as they collect date by...

Students investigate the dirt in the air. In this air quality activity, students use aluminum foil and petroleum jelly to discover if there is dirt in the air. Students discuss results.

Students consider the concept of ocean pollution. In this ocean lesson plan, students participate in a hands-on demonstration in order to replicate an oil spill and its effects on marine life.

Students investigate how plants grow by analyzing pumpkins. In this agricultural lesson, students read The Biggest Pumpkin Ever by Steven Kroll, and draw pictures of a pumpkin in each of its growing stages. Students measure and dissect...

Students build a boat and make predictions. In this geometry lesson plan, students design a cargo boat. They must show that the boat they designed can carry the cargo.

Sixth graders investigate the properties of water. In this life science lesson, 6th graders create a concept map of water. They share their work with the class.

In this vocabulary worksheet, students complete 10 problems where they do analogies, short answer questions, fill in the blanks, and more for the vocabulary words given including festered, dormant, grieve, and more.

Students participate in a demonstration showing that as salinity increases density increases as well. They also examine the different densities of air. They discuss the amount of water displaced by large ships.

Students illustrate Archimedes' Principle of Buoyant Force. In this graphing lesson, students will observe that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. Students will then create a graph showing...

Students research inventors and inventions and their impacts. In this invention instructional activity, students research inventions and their affects in good and bad ways.

Students create a Cartesian diver out of a bottle of water and a condiment packet (soy sauce, ketchup, etc.) They observe what happens to the packet as they squeeze the bottle and determine which types of condiment packets make the best...

First graders investigate the changing states of water.

First graders investigate the various forms of water. They discuss the properties of water. They discover examples of water's various states and locate other solids, liquids, and gases in their homes.

Students identify and describe the building blocks that make up an atom. They also compare the ages of atoms to the ages of the materials they compose,as well as, give examples that illustrate the small size of atoms.

Students observe how different water densities and salinity control the depth at which different water masses occur. Submarines are used as a case study. This is a well-designed with an excellent worksheet.

Students examine how density is a value that describes what type of a material an object is made of regardless of its shape or size.

Students are divided into two teams in which its members are to gather as many objects in the pool as possible gaining points for different objects.

Learners research the development and implementation of a research vessel/vehicle used for deep ocean exploration. For this oceanography lesson, students calculate the density of objects by determining the mass and volume.

Sixth graders experiment with the froth flotation process to extract metallic ore by using basic chemicals and equipment in the science classroom.

Students determine the density of metal shot by a graphical method using significant digits in making measurements and calculations. Students graph a seris of laboratory measurements and determine density from a mass verses volume graph.

Seventh graders are given the opportunity to use model-building as a way to help comprehend the forces and phenomena at work in the world around them. They use both successful and unsuccessful models to make inferences, refine...

Students participate in a demonstration to test the different densities of plastics, and suggest a method that plastic waste can be separated and collected.

Students examine and identify the observable properties of coal. After a lecture/demo, students perform a simple experiment. They observe samples of coal and record data in an organized manner.

Students explore rotating frames of reference, focusing on the weightless environment in space and the Coriolis force.
