Eighth graders are actively involved in the scientific method and inquiry as they form quick hypotheses based upon a teacher set of mystery liquids. They determine the need to make additional observations of the liquids.

Students' recognize the various roles of predicting in science. Students' practice making and interpreting predictions; experimenting to test their hypotheses; and refine their predictions based on observation and experimentation....

In this conditional statements review worksheet, students answer 5 multiple choice questions that involve identifying the conclusion, hypothesis, and the different types of conditional statements.

Students design their own Science experiment. For this science experiment lesson students create a hypothesis related to matter and test it. They displayed their data in a graph.

Students study the scientific method and explore how to design an experiment.  For this investigative lesson students explore and hypothesis an experiment then carry it out to find the results. 

Students examine science. For this scientific method lesson, students are introduced to what every experiment contains (hypothesis, critical thinking) and how an experiment is conducted. They watch a demonstration and then work...

In this experimental design worksheet, students use four questions to brainstorm about an experiment. The questions include the materials, the hypothesis and the independent and dependent variables.

In this experimental design instructional activity, students brainstorm on an experiment to do with mice. They identify the materials available, the hypothesis and the independent and dependent variables.

In this experimental design worksheet, students brainstorm about a project to do on the topic of their choice. They answer four questions about the materials available, the hypothesis of their experiment and the independent and dependent...

In this experimental design worksheet, students answer four questions about an experiment on dirt. They include the materials available for the experiment, the hypothesis, and the independent and dependent variables.

In this experimental design activity, learners identify the title, hypothesis, independent and dependent variables , the constants and the control for their experiment. They use a scoring guide to asses their progress.

Was the Civil War fought only due to slavery? Using an interactive web tool, scholars investigate the four main causes of the Civil War. Gathering evidence and data to support their claims, they present a final statistical breakdown...

Students investigate moles and Avogadro's hypothesis. In this moles lesson plan, students complete a worksheet by finding the volume of 1 mole of each substance given its density and they find the number of molecules, the formula, the...

In this comparison of evolution worksheets, students read information about Lamarck's hypothesis of evolution and Darwin's hypothesis of evolution. Students then rate the scenarios given as either supportive of Lamarck's or Darwin's...

Students study black holes and see how space telescopes can provide data to support current hypotheses. They examine the anatomy of a black hole using a diagram of an accretion disk, the event horizon, and jets of hot gas.

Students discover the history of hot air balloons by watching one ascent.  In this physics lesson, students utilize a Montgolfier Hot Air Balloon from an earlier lesson and record the temperature, rate of ascent and the volume....

Find the article, "In the Thick of Air Pollution," not through the resource link in the lesson, but through an Internet search. Have high schoolers read it and perform calculations with the statistics provided. The objective is to...

Learners determine the most compelling evidence explaining why the U.S. entered WWI. They read and discuss a handout of reasons why the U.S. entered the war, and take a poll as to which reason was the most compelling.

If you need a way to reinforce the scientific method in your elementary classroom, use a science experiment about GloFish. The resource includes several pages of worksheets that guide learners through making a hypothesis, testing their...

The Gulf of Mexico dead zone, an area of low oxygen that kills marine life, costs the United States $82 million every year. Young scientists research anoxic ocean environments then come up with a hypothesis for the cause of the Gulf of...

Incorporate reading strategies, math, research, and the scientific method into one lesson about water conservation. After reading a story about a landlady trying to determine how many people are living in an apartment, learners develop a...

Why did the United States choose to invade Cuba in 1898? As part of a 3-day lesson, your young historians will first develop working hypotheses to answer this question, then work with a variety of historical primary source documents that...

Students, in groups, create experiments to predict and prove what a change in pressure can do to objects exposed to the change. They use AppleWorks to write their hypotheses and the steps they need to conduct the experiment.

Young geologists attempt to predict the appearnace of a geode's internal structure based on how it looks from the outside, its mass, and its physical characteristics. In this geologly lesson, learners use scientific equipment to collect...
