In this science activity, learners classify 6 actions as positive work, negative work, or no work. Students also design their own experiment.

In this nuclear power worksheet, students read how atoms can be changes and are unstable. Students compare 3 kinds of radiation and the difference between fission and fusion. Then students complete 10 matching and 2 short answer questions.

In this organic molecules worksheet, students solve nine problems involving reactions of organic molecules. They must draw and label reactions, explain the processes of the reactions and predict products of reactions

Students discover the catapult. In this catapult activity, students research the history of the catapult and how it works. They work in groups to build their own catapult using tootpicks, popsicle sticks, rubber bands, and spoons. 

Student explore the relationship between Hooke's Law and catapults. After exploring the four types of catapults, students use Hooke's law to determine the spring constant in a torsion powered catapult. They answer questions based upon...

Fourth graders demonstrate that air has mass. In this performance task, 4th graders design an experiment to demonstrate that air has mass. They will illustrate their demonstration and explain their findings.

Students are introduced to the letter v. For this letter v lesson, students discuss volcanoes, practice writing the letter v, color a v poster, and create a book. This lesson comes with many attached worksheets.

Students investigate the factors affecting projectile trajectory. In this physics lesson, students calculate the range, time and speed of projectiles using mathematical equations.

Students discover, through the discovery method, how electricity works. They construct a simple circuit and a parallel circuit, make an electrical motor work and add a switch to turn it on and off.

In this flight worksheet, students will review the physics behind flight including lift, acceleration, and thrust. Students will also understand the Bernoulli effect. This worksheet has 6 true or false, 6 short answer, and 8 matching...

In this magnetic field worksheet, students test a compass's magnetic field against a magnet and see how far it lasts. Students follow 6 sets of directions.

In this nuclear power activity, students compare fission and fusion. Students learn about the different kinds of radiation. This activity has 2 short answer questions and 10 matching questions.

Students use FoilSim to demonstrate that the graphic analysis of the airflow around one object can be used to hypothesize airflow graphs for objects as they are elongated from a sphere to an airfoil shape.

Pupils use FoilSim to design an airplane wing that generates a given lift. As they change parameters such as airspeed, altitude, angle of attack, thickness and curvature of the airfoil, and size of the wing area, the software calculates...

High schoolers use FoilSim (downloadable) to determine how lift is affected by varying parameters on the Airfoil simulation.

Students explore the concept of magnetism. In this magnetism lesson, students use bar magnets to conduct experiments regarding magnetism. Students also use a magnetic compasses to examine magnetic poles.

Students supplement their study of genetics by collecting and analyzing information about their own and their classmates' characteristics and traits. Students create a database of traits and characteristics to compare and contrast.

Students construct a weather vane using their knowledge of some geometric shapes. In this weather lesson, students work in pairs to create a weather vane in order to measure wind direction. Students follow precise...

Students have tournaments in teams after learning information about The Middle Ages. For this Middle Ages lesson plan, students learn that tournaments are mock battles, but that they will have these battles by answering questions in...

Students explore Jupiter's magnetosphere. In this Jupiter activity, students examine a diagram of the magnetic field that surrounds Jupiter.

Students, through the use of the Curveball interactive software package, become familiar with the way in which the flow of air across or around an object affects its ability to lift, spin, and curve. After reading the explanation given...

Students graph the relationship between the release point and the final position of curveballs and fastballs thrown by both right and left handers given a constant speed, and explain the relationships illustrated by the graphs of data.

Students use Curveball to complete the activity to determine how the speed of airstreams changes in relation to changes in the distance of the airstream from the center of the baseball.

Young scholars use FoilSim interactive software to become familiar with the way in which the flow of air across or around an airfoil affects its ability to create lift.
