Explore the Human brain. Students become familiar with the left and right hemispheres of the human brain and engage in activities that activate powers that are dominant in each hemisphere.

First graders explore freezing points. In this science lesson plan, 1st graders determine the temperature at which water freezes, understand why salt water freezes at a lower temperature than plain water, and understand why the string...

Students explore the metric system. In this science lesson plan, students familiarize themselves with the metric system as they participate in a hands-on activity.

Students recognize some forms of pollution. In this science lesson plan, students recognize and understand some of the devastating effects of the acid rains and other possible factors that are contrary to the pH balance of nature.

Students sort and count objects. In this sorting skills lesson, students work in small group with various objects that can be sorted and counted in groups.

Students study the properties of the physical and natural world. In this properties of the physical and natural world lesson, preschool students work at discovery tables to see how simple machines work, what happens when items are put...

Students experiment with distance, speed, and motion by graphing the motion of a bowling ball. In this distance versus time graphing lesson plan, students observe the speed and distance of a rolling ball and graph their findings. They...

Students explore the concept of momentum. In this physics lesson, students observe and compare two "carts" being released to move in various situations, and draw conclusions as to why the carts moved or didn't move.

Students explore the concept of periodic motion in relation to its function in a Grandfather type clock. In this periodic motion lesson, students use problem-solving skills and understanding of periodic motion to participate in a group...

Students explore Newton's Laws of Motion and how momentum is conserved. For this physics lesson, students observe experiments in which various items collide. Students draw conclusions as to how "momentum" defined as "mass X velocity"...

Fourth graders perform probability experiments. In this math lesson, 4th graders complete a penny toss to evaluate and graph the combinations of outcomes. In a second activity, students draw M&Ms out of a bag and graph results. In a...

Students explore the concept of estimation. For this estimation lesson, students estimate the number of Cheerios in their cup. Students then determine the number of Cheerios in the entire box using what they know about their cup.

Students get a better understanding of air pressure and how it effects our daily lives.

Third graders examine how multiplication is a quicker and neater form of addition and how they can simulate the concept of groups and (sets) to construct the visual effect of multiplication by way of forming groups of (2's) (3's) and (4's).

Fifth graders determine the difference between a soluble and an insoluble solution and how to increase solubility. They make a saturated solution using solvents at different temperatures.

Aztecs created amazing hydroponic gardens called Chinampas, to grow their crops. Learners in grades k-7 engage in four mini-experiments to understand just how amazing floating gardens are. Tip: A perfect way to bring science into your...

Students explore how the immune system, fights a war with a pathogenic organism: one of the many bacteria, viruses, and protozoans that can infect our bodies and cause disease.

Students develop an understanding and appreciation of water purification techniques and their implications for health maintenance.

Young scholars investigate their reaction times for grabbing a dropped ruler after discussing reactions times to other events such as moving your foot from the gas pedal to the brake. They drop the ruler from a sent height and record the...

Students work on The Six Solution Problem, which is a logic problem assuming that the student knows some basic reactions and solubility rules.

Students examine the use of variable and ratio in everyday situations including figuring out the gear ratios for the gears on a 12 speed bike. They use the bubble sort technique to write a computer program which will determine the...

Young scholars identify each phase of mitosis and the main characteristics of each. Students prepare a microscope slide with onion root tip. Young scholars observe the cell division occurring in the cells and label the mitosis phases...

Young scholars explore the sense of taste. For this biology lesson plan, students investigate the sense of tastes as they experience salty, sour, bitter, and sweet tastes. Young scholars then discover how taste buds do their job.

Students explore blood circulation. In this biology lesson plan, students learn what blood is and explain the circular movement of blood going into and out of the heart.
