Students are introduced to the guidelines regarding their upcoming book report. As a class, they brainstorm opening statements to grab the reader's attention and what type of information to present. They must include an evaluation of...

Students assess and experiment with the role of plant pigments in photosynthesis. They relate the basic principles of photosynthesis utilizing paper chromatography to evaluate a hypothesis regarding plant pigments as well as the role of...

Students define the origin of rock samples and how surface core samples can tell us about the history and make-up of Mars. Candies are used as a Martian surface sample. Students study the samples and make a hypothesis about the cause of...

Middle schoolers conduct a test to help them visualize the spread of germs. They identify that a pandemic is an epidemic (an outbreak of an infectious disease) that spreads across a large region or even worldwide. Finally, students...

In this scientific methods worksheet, students will review the steps necessary in testing a hypothesis including the types of reasoning and variables involved. This worksheet has 6 terms in a crossword puzzle and 4 fill in the blank...

In this word search worksheet, students locate 9 words related to the definition of history. The word list includes fact, interpretation, and hypothesis.

in this math worksheet, students practice finding the determinant for each matrix. Then they use the solutions to develop a hypothesis for the determinants.

In this scientific methods worksheet, high schoolers compare independent and dependent variables, hypothesis and theory, homogeneous and heterogeneous, and physical and chemical change. This worksheet has 17 short answer questions.

In this divisibility rules worksheet, students solve 18 different problems that include applying the divisibility rules to each. First, they identify the hypothesis and conclusion in logical deduction. Then, students determine the...

Students study surface tension and determine if soap and heat will affect surface tension.  In this tension lesson students complete a lab, make a hypothesis and answer questions. 

Seventh graders study microorganisms in their environments by experimenting with milk products. In this microbes lesson, 7th graders read background information about microorganisms in yogurt and soured milk. Students then follow a...

Students study how alpine glaciers move and the factors that effect how fast a glacier moves.  In this glacier lesson students construct a glacier model, make a hypothesis and interpret data. 

Students complete a science experiment to study insulation, heat transfer, and permafrost. In this permafrost study lesson, students design and test a soda insulator. Students graph their class data and discuss the results. Students...

Students build an anemometer and measure wind speed. In this wind speed lesson, students build an anemometer using the student instruction sheet. Students visit the Alaska windspeed website and look up the wind speed forecast. Students...

High schoolers explore hypoxic (low oxygen) conditions in the Gulf of Mexico.  For this ocean habitat lesson, students hypothesis, design and implement an experiment to explain the existence of the "Dead Zone" in the Gulf of Mexico.

In this environmental science lesson, students write a short story about what it's like to help at an oyster garden. They formulate 2 hypotheses on the disappearance of oysters in Chesapeake Bay.

Students explore what the soil temperature would be on the north and south sides of a building. In this temperature lesson, students hypothesize what the results will be using a thermometer and then after a week see what the...

Learners solve for the area and perimeter of polygons. For this geometry lesson, students identify repeated patterns and create formula to solve problems. They make conjectures and prove hypotheses.

Learners investigate forces, loads, materials and shapes as they relate to science. In this science lesson, students differentiate between the basic definitions required to perform a scientific experiment. They answer questions dealing...

Students examine photographs of closely related species found in the Gal??pagos environment, observe differences and similarities between species, and form hypotheses about species differences and the relationship to the environment of...

In this experimental design worksheet, students answer four questions about an experiment done on shampoo. They answer questions about the independent and dependent variables and the materials and the hypothesis of the experiment.

Middle schoolers use the scientific method to discover the role of a candle's wick and how radiation allows candle wax to change from solid to liquid to gas. They work in small groups to use the steps of the scientific method approach in...

In this honor chemistry I worksheet, young scholars use all available resources to answer each question given. Students apply their knowledge of light, quantum theory of light, Bohr's model, photoelectric theory.

Students discover how air can move things by using their breath. For this physics lesson, students hypothesize then attempt to move a pencil 1 meter using nothing but their breath. Students record data from their experiment including...
