Students explore heart rates. They record pulse rates, predict which exercises cause a faster heart rate, make a chart, and graph the results. Students write an essay using the data to support their predictions. They write a hypothesis...

Students discuss and define the idea of a powerful image. In groups, they use the Internet and magazines to search for images they deem as powerful. They develop a hypothesis to why some people believe an image is powerful while others...

Student develop a hypothesis regarding the effects of either mowing or fertilizer upon the diversity of plant species in a grassland ecosystem. They set up experiment field plots and measure species richness.

Fourth graders realize that plants need light, water, and carbon dioxide to carry out photosynthesis. They participate in groups of 4 to plant (with materials provided) a test group of beans to compare to the control group, write a...

Seventh graders identify and create questions and hypotheses, dependent and independent variables and form a conclusion that can be answered and tested through scientific experimental investigation. In this relationship instructional...

Students examine each soil sample and record observations. In this biology activity, students design an experiment to test soil flow rate. They write a lab report about the experiment.

Students lexplore environmental trends in the troposphere- temperature, dew point, pressure and wind speed- by checking their hypotheses against data collected by weather balloons.

Students determine the effects of an increase of the amount of nitrate and phosphate levels on the growth of algae. the development of a hypothesis is encouraged and students proceed to a conclusion based on their results.

High schoolers compare and contrast the cell cycle of frog eggs, normal cells, and cancer cells. They watch a video about early development of the frog embryo, generate a hypothesis in small groups, and listen to a teacher-led lecture. ...

Pupils examine the population of aphids. They identify adaptations they have made for their environment. They make predictions, test their hypothesis and collect information that either proves or disproves their theory.

Students create their own bird study in their own schoolyard using the scientific method (see Testing a Hypothesis in Join the Project). Students do research in the library, at a local college, or on the Internet to determine the...

Students make a prediction/hypothesis based on what you currently know about "mixed messages".

Fifth graders compare and contrast the rate of soil erosion along water and along a vegetation area. They observe the differences and record their information and write a hypothesis of what they think happen if the erosion continues.

Students explore caring for their community. They select an area of a park to clean and collect trash. They place materials in trash bags to recycle plastic, paper, etc. They calculate the amount of items and percentages they collect...

Students design and conduct an experiment to test a hypothesis. They create a question/objective based on the results of their experiment that can be answered by performing a human clinical trial. Students write inclusion and exclusion...

Students complete laboratory activity to discover what temperature is most effective in prohibiting bacterial growth in two percent milk. Students then write lab report detailing findings.

Students identify the components of the Results section of the project and technical paper.They also identify appropriate ways of presenting data and write the Results section of the technical paper.

Eighth graders define the boundaries of living organisms. They determine what makes something a living organism and identify factors that constitute "living." Pupils write a conclusion about the evidence they found that yeast is alive...

Third graders investigate the life cycle and development of butterflies. They complete an online WebQuest, and write journal entries about their research information. Students create a poster, and observe real Painted Lady larvae...

learners investigate a natural factor affecting their everyday lives: daylight. First, they collect data on sunrise and sunset in their hometown, create a Microsoft Office Excel chart to help them understand the data pattern, and offer a...

Students hypothesize whether the soil sample may have lead contamination and why. They describe what they see happening with the soil samples and the corresponding swabs. Pupils write a brief description of what they observe as the...

Young scholars develop interviewing techniques--organize ideas and materials; record and summarize data; develop hypotheses about information collected; present results.

Students organize information obtained by observation and order it in historical sequence; to use evidence to support hypotheses.

Students examine seasonal changes by watching tulip plant growth across the continent utilizing the Journey North website. They develop hypotheses as to why the plants emerge and grow where they do.
