Students explore the concept of hardness. In this physical science lesson plan, students will be using clay heated at different temperatures to study hardness based on the indention left. Students will also be identifying the variables...

Students participate in an experiment to define a parts-per-billion solution. For this ecology lesson, students select a second substance to create a parts-per-billion solution and observe and record their results. Students work in...

Students predict, measure, collect, and analyze data to investigate heat loss in water and in air.

In this math worksheet, students solve the homogeneous endpoint heat conduction problem for a rod of length π/2 and initial temperature distribution. They also find the steady state temperature on a disk.

Students explore human anatomy by researching first aid care. In this heat related injury lesson, students discuss the problems extreme temperatures can cause on the human body if left untreated. Students define the different injuries,...

Sixth graders research the average temperatures of different places on Earth. In this earth science lesson, 6th graders explain how the sun's heat cause ocean movement. They discuss how temperature change affects the weather we experience.

Students interpret and analyze data.  In this middle school mathematics lesson, students conduct an experiment in which they investigate which solar collector, black, white, or silver, absorbs the most heat.  Students examine...

Pupils conduct an experiment to find out how well different wires radiate heat when voltage is applied across the wire. They use the results of their experiments to consider how the gauge of the wire and the type of wire affect the...

In this thermodynamics instructional activity, students apply Hess's Law and review internal energy theory and heat capacity theory. Students use Boltzmann formula to calculate entropy and calculate the change in free energy. This...

Fifth graders use the scientific method to conduct experiments on the temperature effects on organisms. In this temperature effects on organisms lesson plan, 5th graders observe and record the hatching or the developing of organisms into...

Fifth graders observe how water changes phase through a teacher-led demo. In this earth science instructional activity, 5th graders relate the demo to the water cycle. They draw and label each stage of the cycle.

Students build a refrigerator that does not require electricity. In this environmental science lesson, student consider desert dwellers of Africa who have no access to electricity. Students use flower pots, sand and water to study the...

First graders investigate how the sun warms the Earth and examine the rotation of the Earth and the sun. They create an illustration of the sun, examine a solar system model, and listen to the book "The Sun: Our Nearest Star." They also...

Young scholars calibrate an alcohol thermometer using the boiling and freezing point of water. In this physical science instructional activity, students explain what happens to boiling point of water as altitude increases. They calculate...

High schoolers examine the characteristics and makeup of glass. In groups, they research the life and work of Dale Chihuly and how he used glass to create his artwork. They answer discussion questions on different pieces of art and share...

Students make story telling plates or tiles based on David Stabely's technique. They are shown slides of original work contemporary artists who are using nontraditional approaches to the clay surface. Students are shown work that David...

Students explain the impact of glacial melting to global climate change. In this environmental science lesson plan, students design an experiment to investigate the effect of salinity change to melting glaciers. They share their results...

Students investigate the concepts of shadows and how they are projected with objects different positions in relation to the sun. They conduct an experiment by observing objects in different positions. Then students record the observations.

Students examine the radiation budget and the launching of the Budget Satellite. They role-play as designers of the satellite and construct one with a power source, instruments, and sensors. they explain how their satellite functions...

Students interpret data on snow cover and analyze trend patterns. In this snow lesson students compare data and locate their school's GPS coordinates.

Students experiment to discover how different variables affect the water cycle. They do hat flow experiments and construct a computer heat flow model.

In this English activity, students read "Sunbed Cancer Risk for Teens," and then respond to 47 fill in the blank, 7 short answer, 20 matching, and 8 true or false questions about the selection.

Students explore through inquiry what it is like to heat ice and the results that can be observed. There is a graph that is created to keep track of data. There are questions that are answered to promote the use of the scientific method.

Students determine the heat energy needed to vaporize (boil) one gram of liquid nitrogen.
