Young scholars describe science experience with appropriate attributes, units, and tools. They formulate inquiry question associated with the science experiences and curricular concepts from observations through class brainstorming....

Students explore the water cycle. In this investigative lesson, students examine the water cycle process. They will record their observations and discuss marine and freshwater ecosystems.

Students discuss American Presidents. They each complete research on one particular President and then, using a template, create a short biography (including a picture) about him. When all biographies are complete, they compile them into...

Does your conflict management style keep you cool and persuasive, even under pressure? Young behaviorists practice analyzing conflicts and using conflict management skills during lesson five in a 15-part series. The resource contains...

Study skills, time management skills, and test taking-skills are important attributes for both the classroom and the real world. Focus on these learning skills in a instructional activity that reviews how to be a good student and...

Household materials can be used for more than cleaning! In this collaborative experiment, emerging chemists use products such as vinegar and liquid antacid to explore chemical reactions that commonly occur in the human body.

Seventh graders participate in a lesson making observations of caterpillars. They identify different changes in the life cycle of a caterpillar and also understand the final result of the life cycle ending.

Fourth graders participate in a simple experiment to illustrate the concept of mother bats identifying their young. They sniff stickers in order to imitate the behavior of mother bats in the wild.

Fourth graders investigate the adaptations that occur in bats. The benefits of adaptations are discussed with them and the probability of survival is measured. The specific adaptations are written and defined.

Students observe a photograph and make inferences.  In this investigative lesson students study how to find facts in pictures and draw inferences from them. 

Fifth graders compare and contrast adaptations of brown pelicans and examine how they survive in different environments. They also make predictions of some adaptations that could be needed in certain types of ecosystems.

Third graders make inquiry about the adaptations that help a frog to survive in its environment. They identify the adaptations and define how they work. They also research the idea of how species have common characteristics.

Second graders help to prepare a model of the water cycle before the conduction of this experiment. They use the model in order to observe changes that happen to water when it changes states of matter.

Fourth graders observe different types of bats. They look for characteristics that appear to be fundamental for survival. Students observe population numbers in order to identify if adaptations aid in survival.

Fourth graders conduct a literature study in order to investigate the concept of change and how it occurs in the environment. The teacher uses the method of concept development for investigation.

Seventh graders examine the concept of adaptations that take place in the wild. Birds are the focus organism for this study. They examine the beaks of different birds and point out the differentiations.

Students decide what body measurements they need to make garments such as a pair of pants. They make a list, and work with a partner to take and record those measurements in centimeters. They discuss the use of centimeters.

Fifth graders describe the physical features of an owl and identify survival adaptations. They Investigate an owl's niche in an ecosystem. The students participate in an interactive puzzle on the internet that helps for motivation.

students study bird migratory patterns and the methods that researchers use to study them. Students are introduced to the concepts of the study of bird movements.The skill of scientific questioning is used to find results.

Students explore the life cycle of the butterfly and the process of metamorphosis through the creation of painted life cycle habitat. They place each part of the cycle in the correct location through the use of a visual diagram.

High schoolers, after observing the elements of a local watershed, explore the need to protect watersheds as water resources for the future. They examine the factors involved with a watershed: geology, ecology, and the effect of man's...

Ninth graders learn about the effect pollution has on water and how this affects their community. In this environmental awareness lesson, 9th graders expand their vocabulary and create a flowchart that demonstrates the...

Tenth graders are introduced to the poetic process. They onnect poetry to life in a meaningful way become more careful readers of poetry. They listen to a variety of poems, then write responses at the end of each adventure.

First graders complete a variety of activities about fall. They study a plant's life cycle and what happens to plants in the fall. They make leaf rubbings and discuss seed dispersal. They write a creative story about a seed and visit a...
