Students observe a demonstration on how we see space between water molecules.  In this experimental lesson students discover what elements make up the things around them and discuss what they learned. 

Students examine cause and effect. In this cause and effect lesson, students discuss examples of cause and effect that their instructor shares with them. Students identify examples of cause and effect in their own lives and then complete...

Students study mythology and why human cultures require them.  In this investigating myths lesson students design a creature that fits an explanation of a natural phenomena then demonstrate the concept of "myth" and "legend".

Students observe, work with charts, and work with GPS in order to determine the path lobster larvae travel based on local currents. In this currents lesson plan, students work with local fishermen to observe the natural currents.

Students examine parallax and angular measurements.  In this investigative lesson plan students calculate distances of objects and map their results.

Students undertake a series of experiments related to the water cycle. All experiments use John Dewey's experiential philosophy as their bases. Each instructional activity is clearly based on philosophy and attempts to be relevant.

Students create a display map with data from a previous lesson. They incorporate graduated marks that identify areas of the school grounds that are good for planting based on density.

Twelfth graders brainstorm where they think wild things exist. Then using the same strategy they discuss natural surroundings from using prior life experience. This part of the lesson can also be done with using a nature hike. Students...

In this lesson, 10th graders research the elements within a particular period of the periodic table of elements. Students gather data from PDA for each element and join other individuals to decpher the patterns in the peridoc table.

Students explore corals and polyps.  In this coral reef lesson plan students divide into groups and prepare a written report. 

Students estimate geographic position based on speed and air travel.  In GPS lesson students use GPS to estimate the set and drift of currents. 

Students analyze a reading selection. In this ocean lesson, students read a story about the ocean, ocean animals and coral reefs. Students have the option to complete internet research on coral reefs. Students write in their journals...

Students investigate biodiversity by creating reports with their classmates.  In this ecosystem instructional activity, students utilize the Internet to research the different types of life in our environment and different locations...

Students explore different machines and the components that encompass the science of physics.  In this physics lesson students explore how things move.

Students discuss the steps of the water cycle. They create their own model of the water cycle. They complete the Family Page at the end of the lesson.

Students plan and write paragraphs while integrating other core subject areas. In this paragraph writing lesson, students complete 5 lessons to practice writing paragraphs. Students incorporate various core subjects into their paragraph...

Students create a graphic organizer to study animal characteristics. In this animal characteristics lesson plan, students use a program in Microsoft Word to create a brainstorm about different animal characteristics.

Students create an action plan to learn how to preserve natural resources for future generations. In this environmental conservation lesson, students research the topic of preserving the natural environment and write a definition for...

Third graders examine the phases of the moon. In this moon phase lesson, 3rd graders listen to a read aloud of The Moon Seems to Change by Franklyn M. Branley and discuss the phases of the moon. They complete a moon phase calendar and...

Students identify and explore life forms of various biomes, define transitional regions, examine effects of abiotic and biotic interactions, research a biome, and produce newspaper that features environmental information. Lessons all on...

Students analyze the impact the ocean and its currents have on weather. In this oceans and weather instructional activity, students analyze data comparing inland and coastal weather, and analyze satellite data for evidence of El Nino.

Young scholars study the effects of different salients and temperatures on vertical movement of an organism.  In this experimental lesson students design different shapes of foil to simulate drifting planktonic organisms.

Learners examine the processes that contribute to the deterioration of shipwrecked in shallow and deep water.  In this research instructional activity students explore shipwrecks and how the deterioration process works. ...

Learners create and label a model of a lobster.  In this lobster lesson plan, students become familiar with the parts of a lobster and their functions.  Learners display their lobsters in the classroom.
