Young scientists use food coloring and celery stalks to determine how water travels through plants. 

Step into a scientist's shoes to go online and discover the Florida Springs Expedition, and participate in two activities focusing on how humans impact the environment. The first activity asks scholars to summarize the six...

In this springs worksheet, students use rubber bands, tape, clamps, and more to make springs and experiment with the weight it takes to stretch the spring. Students follow 7 directions and answer 1 question.

In this springs learning exercise, students use paper clips, rubber bands, weights, and more to make springs. Students follow 6 directions, put answers in a chart, and complete 1 question on their own.

Do you need some new ideas for teaching Newton's Laws of Motion? This series of activities will spring your curriculum to life! Choose from five activities to demonstrate or have your science stars perform. As a result, they...

Learners investigate botany by conducting a plant growth experience. In this sunlight lesson, students utilize two potted flowers, depriving one of direct sunlight, and recording their growth process in science journals. Learners discuss...

Pupils identify and interpret the idea that apples grow on trees and that these apple trees change as the seasons change. Then they gain knowledge of seasonal changes through a creative art experience for the students. Pupils also...

Students scan headlines on the Journey North News Updates each day to track the changes that spring brings as it comes to different areas of the United States.

Back and forth, and back again. A presentation on harmonic motion would make a great backdrop for a directed instruction lesson in Honors Physics. It includes diagrams, formulas, graphs, and a few sample problems.

Students draw and label the four parts of a plant. They describe changes that are part of the common life cycle. Students follow various one and two step directions. They are asked to discuss that they can recall about plants.

Students learn about fall and spring by engaging in hands-on activities in order to fulfill science and language arts standards. In this lesson on seasons, students first listen to a story about fall, discuss the characteristics of the...

Demonstrate how the spherical shape of the Earth contributes to unequal heating of its surface and results in varying climates at different latitudes. This would be an illuminating addition to your meteorology lessons, especially when...

Students experiment with the velocity of a spring. For this velocity lesson, students conduct trials in order to determine the initial velocity of a spring. They stretch the spring different amounts and fire it both horizontally and...

Pupils identify where their water sources and explore a watershed on a map.  In this watershed activity students walk a wetland, and identify sources of pollution.

Suitable for an AP Biology class, the lab found here has teen bioengineers working with plasmids to clone DNA. If you have not done a similar lab, the instructions may be rather difficult to follow. Both the teacher and learner...

Get your class outside to observe their surroundings with a lesson highlighting weather patterns and seasonal changes. First, learners take a weather walk to survey how the weather affects animals, people, plants, and trees during...

Students examine the importance of good quality safety gear. In this investigative lesson plan, students will tests various polymers, collect data, and analyze the data to determine which polymer is best for safety helmets. They will...

Stability is key when building a bridge. Scholars explore the forces acting upon bridges through an analysis of Newton's Laws and Hooke's Law. The activity asks individuals to apply their learning by building a bridge of their own.

Students identify the watershed where they live and how it is related to their own water consumption. In this watershed lesson students locate their watershed on their town map. The students find the source of their water that they use...

The students learn about friction and forces through direct instruction and an investigation. They use measurement skills, observation skills, predicting, and drawing conclusions based on data collected during the investigation. Students...

Students explore the concept of "transfer of momentum". In this physics lesson, students observe the results of two objects or people as they make contact in different ways. Students on roller blades and model cars of different weights...

Students will make a circuit on a mystery card. They will connect wires, bulbs, and battery to form an electrical tester. After students learn how to make one following the directions, they can create their own mystery card by...

First graders are read a story about the various stages of matter with a focus on gases. Using a ziploc bag, they capture as much air as possible and discuss how it takes up space even though it is invisible. To end the lesson, they blow...

If your future physicists know how to construct simple circuits, include resistors, and use a multi-meter to measure voltage, then you might employ this lesson on Ohm's law. Each lab group investigates the relationships among...
