Students design a flowchart for their robotic program. In this physics lesson, students construct a robot that can navigate certain obstacles. They present their program and robots in class.

Students develop a pseudo code flowchart for their robotic program. In this physics lesson, students construct a robot that can navigate through certain obstacles. They test their robot and present them to class.

Students design an experiment to analyze the timbre of different instruments. In this physics lesson, students analyze the missing quality in sound. They discuss their results in class.

Students define density in their own words. In this physics lesson, students calculate density using mass and volume. They explain why some objects sink and some float.

Students investigate how series and parallel circuits work. In this physics lesson, students build their own simple circuits and compare their characteristics. They explain the importance of circuit breakers in household circuits.

Students identify the different kinds of blood. In this biology lesson, students investigate the antigens, agglutinins and Rh factor using their own blood. They use Punnett squares to predict blood type of offspring.

Fourth graders identify literary techniques by participating in a class discussion. In this organization lesson, 4th graders practice public speaking while presenting ideas for a story to their classmates as well as critiquing the ideas...

Seventh graders identify native species of desert vegetation, plan a xeriscape landscape, and recognize the importance of water conservation.

Students recognize native species of desert vegetation while examining the need for water conservation. They design and create a xeriscape landscape using a variety of materials.

Students calculate the volume of scale model dinosaurs using a water displacement method. They use formulas to calculate the live mass each of the species of dinosaur. Then they complete and discuss a series of questions.

Students estimate the live mass of dinosaurs. Using dinosaur and modern animal models, students use simple displacement methods to calculate the volume of the models. They calculate the masses of each model. Students compare the...

High schoolers analyze how to begin hands on research for science projects and experiments. They develop a problem and design a systematic effort to resolve it.

Students research the development and implementation of a research vessel/vehicle used for deep ocean exploration. In this oceanography instructional activity, students calculate the density of objects by determining the mass and volume.

Students read the book, Jurassic Park, then answer questions.

Students study the water quality of a stream in their area, by measuring the temperature, pH, alkalinity and conductivity. They integrate biology with earth science when using the microscope to study the living organisms in the water.

Students describe how blood flows through the heart and the anatomy of the aortic valve. They examine the condition of aortic stenosis and create diagrams of the condition in the heart. They complete experiments using the model they...

Students conduct an experiment to demonstrate that many of the enzyme systems needed to break down society's wastes exist in nature among the decomposers in a compost pile. They culture compost bacteria on starch agar to examine the...

Students demonstrate that many of the enzyme systems needed to break down--and therefore clean up-society's wastes already exist in nature among the decomposers. They select the best starch-munching organisms by altering the environment...

Eleventh graders put a human face on the refugee experience to help them empathize. They are given an "virtual" introduction to Antonio, which gives students insights into the life of refugees in Canada and around the world. Pupils...

In this essay writing worksheet, seven writing prompts are provided. Students can choose any of the topics to write an essay about.

Students observe the changes between elodea leaves placed in darkness and light.  In this life science activity, students experiment to find evidence of photosynthesis in elodea leaves. Students use indicators to detect the...

Students explain the principles of experimental design and reinforce the steps of the scientific method. Each group of students create a "slush" type mixture to store a chicken liver.

Learners discover specific information to remember when preparing for an interview and create a presentation based on the information

Students participate in a service learning project to improve their community. They work together to decide on a project and how to implement it. They propose solutions to problems the community is facing as well.
