Students decide on an activity like running, swimming or skating for a performance analysis. They have friends or family members videotape them as they exercise, then review the video to see how they can improve their performance.

Ninth graders explore how to apply ecological analysis to cropping systems.  For this agro-ecosystem lesson students study management practices including soil and fertility. 

Students investigate evaporation and condensation, and apply the concepts to understanding cloud formation.

In this magnetism learning exercise, students review concepts relating to magnetic fields, transformers, galvanometers, and electric motors. This learning exercise has 9 fill in the blank and 11 short answer questions.

Students observe and record how breathing changes with physical activities.  In this physical activity lesson students form groups and complete their activity and worksheets.

In this light topics science activity, students read selections about fiber optics, fluorescent light, incandescent light, total internal reflection, polarization, glow-in-the-dark light, and lasers. Students then respond to 32...

Students turn solid water (ice) into liquid water. In this solid and liquid water lesson plan, students use water, ice, cups, and heat in order to change water from one state to another. They draw their findings as well.

Fifth graders explore electricity. In this electricity lesson, 5th graders experiment with open and closed circuits. Students determine how to properly connect a battery and bulb to illuminate the bulb.

Young scholars participate in a science experiment to show them the power that water erosion has to sculpt stone. They explore how running water moves earth and creates new landforms.

Seventh graders discover how an ecosystem works by creating one in class.  In this Earth science lesson, 7th graders study vocabulary terms associated with ecosystem and read environment handouts.  Students create an...

Young scholars explore pond ecosystems.  In this pond organism activity, students will use pond water and a plastic bad in order to locate and identify freshwater organisms.  The activity is designed for younger grades,...

In this excretory system worksheet, students read a brief excerpt about water balance and the excretory system. Then they identify what compound birds, insects and reptiles living in dry habitats excrete. Students also describe how...

Young scholars study wind speed and collect wind speed data. In this wind speed lesson, students visit a website to learn about the local wind speed forecast for their week. Young scholars discuss wind and wind speed. Students collect...

Fifth graders build and experiment with electric circuits using easily available materials. They hypothesize what may happen if a part is changed.

In this space probes worksheet, students read about radioisotope thermoelectric generators and how they work. Then students complete 3 short answer questions.

In this circuits worksheet, students compare voltage, current, and resistance. Students draw a battery with a resistor, switch, and light bulb. This worksheet has 6 short answer, 1 matching, and 6 drawing questions.

Fourth graders discover how organisms depend upon each other in an ecosystem. In this ecosystems lesson, 4th graders use food webs to discuss the interdependence between organisms in an ecosystem.

Students create a quilt-like fabric swatches using Crayograph crayons, emery paper and rubbing plates.

Students explore magnetism and magnetic phenomena on the Sun.

In this English worksheet, students read "Russia Issues 5000-Rouble Note," and then respond to 47 fill in the blank, 7 short answer, 20 matching, and 8 true or false questions about the selection.

Students discuss what causes the northern lights and the folklore attached to them. They discuss magnetic fields, and use various common materials to discover if ions conduct electricity.

Students research where in the world coral reefs are located. In this ecology lesson plan, students create food chains and food web. They simulate growing coral reefs to understand their characteristics better.

Review the flow of energy through ecosystems with this study guide.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] When an herbivore eats a plant, the energy in the plant tissues is used by the herbivore. Every time energy is transferred from one organism to another, there is a...
