Students participate in an experiment in which they try to stop algae from growing. In groups, they develop a hypothesis and test it while making changes to the experiment along the way. They make observations and organize their data...

Students look at the findings of a Hopi Indian dig site in order to reconstruct the sequence of events that occurred in the past. They examine the stratigraphy while making multiple hypothesis about the artifacts and their locations at...

Students explain the relationship between water temperature and gas concentration. Using a graph, they describe how sea surface temperature changes along with the seasons. They develop a hypothesis and test it by graphing and analyzing...

Eighth graders experiment with Newton's Laws by comparing the falling of different objects with different masses. Students work in teams and rotate through four different stations recording their hypotheses and observations as they go.

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.

Students read a book about a world in which humans and other animals are extinct and bats are the only animals alive. In groups, they research one question they are interested in from a list. They develop a hypothesis and use the...

Students read a story about the Pocumtucks' religious beliefs. Using the text, they discover their concept of land ownership and how they migrated within their territory in different seasons. They use primary and secondary sources to...

Students construct a model of a river system. Students observe the effects caused by water rushing through riverbanks and across plains. They predict what will happen when levees are added to the model. Students test their hypothesis.

Fifth graders are introduced to the atlatl system and how to test and control variables. In groups, they use the Internet to research how the system has changed over time. They test various variables and record their results in a graph...

Students develop hypothesis about what might happen when salt water is frozen. In groups, they freeze ice samples with different salt concentrations. They use the internet to research the situation of the Jeannette to discover their...

First graders work together to complete a variety of experiments three times each. In groups, they record their observations and results and share them with the class. To end the instructional activity, they develop hypothesis before...

Students investigate the concept of adapting to an environment. They conduct research using a variety of resources. The information search is focused upon animals picked by the students that need to be classified and then write a...

For this scientific method worksheet, students complete a ten page science journal that could be used for any investigation. Included are pages for question, hypothesis, materials, procedure, observations, data, diagram and conclusion....

Fifth graders research soil, its nutrients, and plant growth. In this soil lesson, 5th graders create soil journals, trace flowers, and include nutrient information on each petal. Students read an excerpt from "McBroom Tells the Truth."...

Students extract DNA from split peas. In this biology lesson, students hypothesize what DNA looks like and perform the experiment to verify their hypothesis. They explain the importance of DNA in living things.

Students write a hypothesis and complete a lab.  In this investigative lesson students complete their lab and a worksheet about energy. 

Students hypothesize what forces affect the motion of a falling body. In this physical science instructional activity, students create diagrams and illustrations to support their hypothesis. They perform the experiment and record...

Students hypothesize what happened to the missing water. In this chemistry lesson, students test their hypothesis by designing an experiment. They record observations and report findings to class.

Students are using a paper chromatography study that is suitable for introductory biology. The absorption spectra studies and gel electrophoresis studies are appropriate for students who have complete both introductory biology and...

Middle schoolers apply the steps of the scientific method to an experiment. They complete an instructional activity of scientific inquiry and use a spreadsheet software to create a graph illustrating data gathered.

In this pumpkin science worksheet, learners draw a picture of their pumpkin and color its size. Students hypothesize on the inside of the pumpkin and guess the seed count.

Students observe leaves and their attributes and group them accordingly. In this science observation activity students gather leaves and use them to become more familiar with seasonal changes and the cycles of our environment. 

Learners classify various hardware items using the attributes of the objects. In this classification lesson, students group objects based on their attributes and explain their classification key.

Provide young biologists with everything they need to excel in the study of lymphatics, the nervous system, hormones, cellular division, and more! Pupils utilize the workbook, complete with end-of-chapter assessment worksheets, to...
