Sixth graders build a speaker as they investigate the roles of electricity and magnetism. They discover the properties of magnets, create an electromagnet, and determine the direction of a magnetic field. They show cause and effect...

Students learn about the properties of glass. In this making and molding glass lesson, students participate in an experiment where they will learn how glass is created and how it is shaped to create bottles and jars. Students also...

Students explore the physical properties of density. In this hands-on lesson plan, students calculate density and distinguish between intensive and extensive properties.

Students read and analyze an article and discuss when they have lost something. They role play looking for lost items.

Students measure and convert between units. In this geometry lesson plan, students investigate through measurements of distances. They relate the properties of circle to solving problems with radius, diameter and area.

In this matter and change learning exercise, students answer 24 questions on topics such as elements, compounds, mixtures and chemical reactions. Students answer questions about the properties of matter such as their physical state and...

In this chemistry learning exercise, students identify and describe that density is the ratio of the mass of the substance to the volume of the substance at a given temperature. They also respond to various questions that refer to...

Students observe a mother and infant playing for ten minutes. For this mother-infant observation lesson, students evaluate the infant's activity according to physical characteristics, locomotion, communication, and patterns of...

Students examine the metal aluminum. In this metal properties lesson, students experiment to distinguish between aluminum and other metals. Students assess how aluminum is created and recycled.

Students examine the wattage of a light bulb using math. In this algebra activity, students find the inverse square of given parameter. They work in groups collecting and analyzing data.

In this chemistry overview activity, students compare atoms and molecules, intensive and extensive property, and physical and chemical change. This activity has 12 short answer questions and 3 problems to solve.

Investigate light intensity, illuminance, and power consumption of different light source.Compare the efficiency of light bulbs then create a persuasive advertisement about it.

Students demonstrate a basic understanding of the molecular basis of heredity. They discuss the chemical and structural properties of DNA and explain how genetic information is encoded in genes, replicated, transcribed and translated...

Students find the density of diet soda and regular soda. In this density lesson plan, students measure the mass of a graduated cylinder with 10 different volumes of each soda. They find the mass of the liquid alone and use the volume to...

There are underwater rivers that flow on the ocean floor thanks to a difference in density. Scholars learn about the density in both liquids and solids in the second lesson of an 11-part series. They then determine the density of water,...

Change the density of water by adding minerals. The presentation discusses density—from the definition to calculations—and applies it to the real world. It briefly mentions specific gravity, and finishes by showing Archimedes'...
