Second graders learn about plant systems and how plants grow and function. In this plant lesson plan, 2nd graders collect data based on roots, leaves, terrariums, plant uses, and locations of certain kinds of plants. They fill out...

Students investigate shipwrecks. In this marine archaeology lesson ,students collect data and make inferences about the causes of shipwrecks. Students work in groups to create their own model of a shipwreck using clay. Students then...

Students establish a grid system over an archaelogical site. They label each grid unit. They determine the location of artifacts within each grid unit. They construct a scientific inquiry concerning the location of artifacts on the site.

Clever! In order to compare indoor and outdoor dispersal rates for the movement of gases and particles through air, collaborators will participate in a classroom experiment. Set up a circular grid and set students on lines that are...

Learners examine plant systems. In this life science lesson, students explore leaf and root systems on paper in a terrarium that they design and construct.

Young scholars explain how to make pictures larger using a grid system by transferring scales images from 1/2 -1 inch to 6 inches - 1 foot. They create life-size scale drawings of ocean life studied in class using a grid system.

Students debate climate change and its causes. They examine articles about the topic and use the information to form their arguments. Students use debate sequence sheets and debater's grids during the exercise.

Middle schoolers create a chaotic system. They display a basic knowledge of the system and are able to recognize it. The students form a hypothesis about a chaotic system and theorize the cause and effect.

Fourth graders observe the layers of the forest on a walk in the woods. They break up into groups to create murals, posters, or brochures illustrating the forest layers of Washington's Lowland Forests.

Young scholars create science design to be painted on the wall in the hallway of the science area of the school building. They measure space available, make a scale model of the design, and paint different pixels.

Students divide into small groups and read the story of THE THREE LITTLE PIGS. Each group brainstorms a list of terms relating to energy efficiency and global climate change. Then they rewrite one page of the story of the book using as...

High schoolers plot the positions of vessels given bearings in the form of landmarks. They explain how the debris field can help solve the mystery in how the ship sunk.

Seventh graders use technology to review cell structure and function. In this cells less, 7th graders review the parts and functions of a cell, and use photography/video and PowerPoint to enhance their explorations.
