Pupils examine an article about tsunami warning systems and discuss why they are important. They conduct an experiment that shows how the velocity of a wave in water changes with the depth. 

Students explore the water cycle.  Students identify the stages in a water cycle and create a PowerPoint presentation based on their knowledge.

Fourth graders discover that distance and obstructions can affect the strength of magnetism. Students work in pairs and follow instructions given to investigate how weight and distance affects the magnetism on certain objects. Students...

In this atomic theory worksheet, students complete a paragraph describing the development of the atomic theory by filling in the blank with 21 terms.

Students are shown how temperature affects dissolved oxygen and they create a graph showing this relationship. They think about the adaptations of animals to live in different water temperatures. Students test four different water...

First graders visit the Discovery Pool, where they use their senses to investigate the different tide pool species. They touch different species. Students describe how each one feels, and what they look like in words. They draw the...

Students observe, measure, and graph a model of slow down slope movement representing soil creep. This task assesses students' abilities to collect, record, and organize data, set up graph axes, plot data points, draw line graphs, apply...

Students complete activities to explore fall weather. In this weather lesson, students use the given links to examine weather forecasts. Students complete a weather graph activity and watch Internet field trips. Students complete fall...

Middle schoolers play a game in which they simulate the interactions between a predator, lynx, and a prey, rabbit. Students collect data on the interactions, graph data, and make predictions for populations of several more generations.

In this data interpretation worksheet, students record the data from 10 examples into frequency tables. They group 10 more data sets, and make a frequency table for each.

Students make "pets" of isopods (potato bugs) to determine their preferred environment and food sources. They record their results on a bar graph and in a scientific report.

Students research recycling effort that take place in the US. They play an online game and complete handouts using Internet research.

Students design and build their own cars. In this physics lesson, students test their car's speed and make changes when necessary. They graph data and analyze results.

Students design and conduct experiment to determine if weight added incrementally to an object affects amount of friction encountered when it slides across a flat surface. They graph data from their experiments, and calculate...

Students answer the question, "What environmental problems arise due to animal and human overpopulation and what might need to be done to combat these problems?" They play games, graph data and write proposals about the question.

Students examine the effect stress due to test anxiety may have on the heart. As part of the experiment, students hypothesize, collect data, graph data, analyze data and formulate an understanding of their personal level of stress and...
