Students work together to examine inclined planes. They create a plan to raise rocks to build pyramids. They discover the changes that occur when the angle is increased or decreased.

Students identify Newton's Laws of Motion. They students explore Newton's Laws of Motion and apply the second law with a classroom activity. The videos will provide visual examples of the effects of gravity while riding on a roller coaster.

Learners participate in an online activity to determine how objects heat and cool. They determine what objects best serve as thermal insulators.

Students participate in an online lesson to determine that different plants and animals are found in different habitats. They use food chains to show feeding relationships in a habitat, and see that nearly all food chains start with a...

Students exercise their muscles to explore concept of heart rate and to explain how blood supplies muscles with oxygen.

Students, in groups, design and construct an air car capable of acceleration. They view a video on acceleration, test their cars and make adjustments as desired.

Students compare the properties of rocks. They identify objects made of rocky materials such as walls, sidewalks, etc. Students describe and group rocks based on their characteristics.

Students identify and explain the parts of a flower and their role in the life cycle of flowering plants, including pollination, seed dispersal and germination using the Internet. Students will also study and discuss the key points and...

Young scholars investigate the habitats of living things and the cycle of the food chain. In this scientific inquiry online lesson, students examine the habitats of plants and animals as well as the food chain as they sort pictures of...

Students investigate how different types of objects act as thermal insulators. In this online lesson plan, students hypothesize how particular objects act as insulators and then complete the online activity to determine which materials...

Students identify how the pitch and the loudness of an instrument can be altered. In this online science of sound lesson, students employ the use of an interactive whiteboard to examine the loudness and pitch of a guitar, drum, and...

Students investigate the cooling and heating of water. In this online science experiment lesson, students work in groups to make predictions regarding freezing and boiling points and then test those predictions as they complete the...

Pupils explore plants and recognize that they are living things that require light and water to grow. For this online plant biology lesson, students identify, name and match the parts of plants. Extension activities and suggested...

Young scholars investigate gases and liquids. In this states of matter online lesson, students examine how evaporation plays a part in the transition of liquids into gases as they watch a kettle of water boil and then work in small...

Students identify and explain the parts of a flower and their role in the life cycle of flowering plants. In this online plant biology lesson plan, students explore the processes of pollination, seed dispersal, and germination. Extension...

Students describe and compare common properties of various classroom materials. In this science/matter instructional activity, students observe common classroom items and the materials they are made of to complete a list of common...

Students discuss micro-organisms. In this micro-organisms lesson, students identify which micro-organisms are harmful and which ones are beneficial. Students complete a worksheet which is included in the lesson.

Third graders examine and identify the six types of simple machines. Using a model of each simple machine, they demonstrate the state the function of them to the class. They discover examples of simple machines at school and home and...

Learners predict the common classroom items, such as paper clips, chalk, keys, or erasers, that will be good conductors in a circuit. They build circuits using a variety of circuit diagrams to test their predictions.

Students give examples of each of Newton's three laws as they occur in everyday experiences. They visually represent and differentiate the difference between a direct proportion and an inverse proportion. Students explain how the...

Students identify variables that affect the system, and specify which variables are independent and which are dependent.

Sixth graders study friction and drag. In this science lesson, 6th graders use different models of gliders and test to see which of the gliders fly the farthest. Students analyze their data and construct a graph.

Students demonstrate the attraction of small pieces of paper to a charged plastic rod and conduct experiment with other objects to determine whether they can hold a charge. They then use online applets to apply their experiments to...

Students discover the basic principles of aerodynamics, including the roles and identity of natural forces involved. They examine how the force of gravity is overcome by the curved shape of an airplane wing and air pressure.
