Students learn about matter and energy. In this science lesson plan, students gain an understanding of the properties of matter and energy as they discover that some things float, some things dissolve in water and discuss that energy can...

Students discover states of matter. In this science lesson plan, students define matter, identify states of matter, explain properties of matter, and demonstrate the various uses of the states of matter.

Student explore states of matter. In this science lesson plan, students define matter, identify the states of matter, tell about the properties of each state of matter, and demonstrate an understanding of the difference between a...

Students construct two dimensional models to illustrate squared numbers. In this geometry lesson, students use graph paper and an x/y axis to build squares exponentially. Students identify powers and relationships between various figures...

Students practice their multiplication table using a game to increase speed and accuracy. In this multiplication activity, students distribute 5 random number cards to each player (2-5 players) and they "play" if their hand includes 3...

Students work with boxes and weights to find the center of gravity. In this simple center of gravity experiment, students find success in using weights to move the center of gravity. Students will be assessed at the end of the activity...

Students experience pressure as a force per unit area in this experiment with a board of nails. In this physics lesson, students discover Boyle's law as they perform experiments with pressure.

Young scholars build an understanding of the properties of liquids and research the immiscible properties of different milks through group experiments. In this immiscible liquids experiment, students investigate what happens when certain...

Students explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, students flip coins and draw marbles out of a bag to determine probabilities of a particular outcome. Students discuss the differences between experimental and...

Students describe and quantify the motion of toy cars. In this motion instructional activity, students observe a battery powered toy car on a flat surface and a standard toy car on a sloped surface. They write their observations, measure...

Students investigate a series circuit. In this physical science lesson, students use a battery, switch, and light bulbs to build an electrical circuit. Students identify the standard symbols being used in electric circuitry.

Young scholars explore light.  In this light wave physics lesson, students construct periscopes, kaleidoscopes, color wheels, and pinhole cameras.  Young scholars observe and record characteristics of light demonstrated through...

Students participate in a series of experiments to learn about plate tectonics and the different materials of the Earth. In this plate tectonics lesson plan, students use eggs, water, beakers, paper, and more materials to learn about the...

Students participate in an introduction activity. In this ice breaker lesson, students sit in a circle and the teacher sings a rhyme, calling a specific students to the middle of the circle. The students called must make silly faces,...

Use manipulatives (film cans and balance scales) to visualize and solve equivalent equations with your math class. After a lecture/demo, they utilize handouts and solve various equations using the methods learned.

Students play a game to realize the rules of signs.

Students experiment to show the components that dictate centripetal force in an object. They observe how the object moves in a circular path around a central point.

Students explore the concept of ratios. For this ratios lesson, students use matchbox cars and models of spaceships to explore ratios. Students determine scale for the above mentioned objects in this lecture style lesson.

Students identify the scientist who first wrote the Periodic Table, identify the scientist who amended the Table, state (or write) specific data relating to the history of the Periodic Table, identify at least five elements, and two...

Students solve equations of the form ax+b=cx+d and visualize the concept of "balancing" an equation.

Students experiment with point graphs. In this math lesson, students are divided into groups and perform an experiment to see how high a ball bounces, recording their results on a point graph. Students then answer provided questions.

Students cuminate their study of molecular structure and bonding with this activity.

Students explore air pressure. In this science lesson plan, students show how air occupies space and exerts pressure and learn how great the effects of air pressure can be.

Students use a formula to measure the eccentricity of an ellipse, then state Kepler's Law of Elliptical Orbits. They predict the solar energy received at different positions in a planet's orbit.
