Teachers can download this teaching package that discusses insects and insect adaptations. Students will enjoy the hands-on activities described in the lessons. Teachers will appreciate the student handouts provided, as well as the list...

This site is an advanced level hands-on activity to explain the Di-deoxy sequencing of DNA.

These hands-on activities help students in grades K-3 understand place value.

Can you design and build a device that will let you grab and drop objects from at least two feet away? Give it a try!

Your challenge is to design and build a rubber band-powered car that can crawl across the floor like a moon rover travels across the moon. Are you up to the challenge?

This challenge requires you to modify a paper cup so it can zip down a line and drop a marble onto a target.

In this activity students will create a battery by placing their hands on two different metal plates.

This lesson plan provides a cross-curricular lesson for second grade students. Teachers will read Elino R J. Pinczes' One Hundred Hungry Ants and then engage the students in hands-on division activities that connect to the book.

Students explore building a pyramid, learning about the simple machine called an inclined plane. They also learn about another simple machine, the screw, and how it is used as a lifting or fastening device. During a hands-on activity,...

This challenge is to build a dance pad that sounds a buzzer or flashes a light when you dance on it.

This challenge is to build a four-stringed musical instrument that can play a tune on different pitches.

Measurement, perimeter, and area skills are exhibited while students participate in these hands-on lessons. Each lesson plan includes objectives, methods, strategies, a description, and assessment techniques.

Hands-on activity allows children to learn about comets by creating their own models using art supplies.

When there is a power failure, or when we go outside at night, we grab a flashlight so we can find our way. What happens inside a flashlight that makes the bulb light up? Why do we need a switch to turn on a flashlight? Have you ever...

This hands-on activity explores the concept of static electricity. Students attract an O-shaped piece of cereal to a charged comb and watch the cereal jump away when it touches the comb. Students also observe Styrofoam pellets pulling...

In this hands-on activity, students explore the electrical force that takes place between two objects. Each student builds an electroscope and uses the device to draw conclusions about objects' charge intensity. Students also determine...

In this hands-on activity, students construct a simple switch and determine what objects and what types of materials can be used to close a switch in a circuit and light a light bulb.

We are surrounded everyday by circuits that utilize "in parallel" and "in series" circuitry. Complicated circuits designed by engineers are made of many simpler parallel and series circuits. In this hands-on activity, students build...

In this hands-on activity, students use their senses to describe what the weather is doing and to predict what it might do next. After gaining a basic understanding of weather patterns, students will become state park engineers and build...

In this hands-on activity students learn create a device to protect a dropped egg and deliver it close to a target. Students learn about engineering as well as potential and kinetic energy and energy transfer

Students will be involved in hands-on activities that will help them to learn to locate points on a grid. Students will also learn how to correctly read an ordered pair of numbers. Technology will be implemented through the use of a...

Through discussion and hands-on experimentation, students learn about the geological (ancient) carbon cycle. They investigate the role of dinosaurs in the carbon cycle and the eventual storage of carbon in the form of chalk. Students...
