Students observe dried bees, carefully glue them to toothpicks, and use them for cross pollinating their Brassica plants. They also describe reasons why two similar investigations can produce different results. Finally, students...

Students use their bee sticks to cross-pollinate their Fast Plants and also focus in on the anatomy of flowers. They analyze how the parts of a system go together, and how these parts depend on each other. Finally, students describe...

In this biomes learning exercise, students review the characteristics of aquatic biomes and terrestrial biomes. This learning exercise has 12 fill in the blank, 6 multiple choice, and 4 short answer questions.

In this chemistry worksheet, high schoolers fill in 10 blanks with the appropriate term, they determine if 4 statements are true or false, they match 6 terms with their definitions and they answer 3 questions. Topics include areas of...

Students examine seed coats. In this biology lesson, students look at pictures of magnified seed coats, then use hand-help magnifiers or microscopes to look at seed coats on their own.

For this microscopes worksheet, 7th graders read information about microscopes and how they work. Students then complete several questions about the passage. Students study the diagram of a microscope using the letter definitions.

Students explore wetland ecosystems. In this wetland lesson, students discuss and observe salt ponds and the organisms that live there. They explain how abiotic and biotic factors of species are important to survival.

In this online interactive physics quiz worksheet, students respond to 5 questions. Students may check their answers for accuracy.

Young scholars explore organisms and botany by utilizing microscopes. In this microscopic research lesson, students define many plant and organism related vocabulary terms such as conifers, moss and spores. Young scholars view spores and...

Students investigate with sea urchins. For this ocean habitat lesson, students observe sea urchins and other ocean grazers. Students work with lab equipment to examine the anatomy of these creatures.

Students identify the different types of fractals. In this geometry lesson, students use math to analyze different biological phenomena. They collect data from the experiments and construct graphs.

Students use magnifiers and telescopes to view things close up. For this magnifiers and telescopes lesson plan, students use the tools to identify things that are close and far away. Students tell details of things they can see closer.

Students examine a microscope and learn its parts.  In this microscope lesson plan students study the different parts of the microscope and see the differences in the adjustments then make their own wet slide. 

Young scholars work together to investigate familiar and unfamiliar ecosystems. Using the internet, they discover how different organisms use their environment to satisfy their needs. They also examine the relationshiops between...

Students explore the parts of the microscope.  In this microscope activity students are given a quiz on the parts of a microscope.

High schoolers determine the size of a nanoparticle. In small groups, they calculate the actual size of a particle shown in a photo, and discuss how they arrived at their answers.

Learners gradually develop fine-motor movement skills with the mouse, while building on the gross-motor movements they are already able to make with the mouse. It encourages students to look at the same painting different ways, and...

Students adopt seeds, recording their observations as they draw their seeds, germinate them, and plant their seedlings using the hydroponic method. Students maintain journals recording their germination experiments.

Young scholars group objects by their physical characteristics and various compositions using literature to stimulate recall.

Students develop a greater awareness of the variety and amount of particulate matter in the air. They try to locate general sources of pollution for a specific area and develop some suggestions for improving air quality.

Students examine stars and constellations in the night sky. They complete a KWL chart and calculate the mass of stars. They also discuss how a star is formed.

Students measure frictional force existing between a moving cup and the surface it slides on. They conduct the experiment and answer discussion questions.

Students demonstrate their ability to properly make observations using a compound microscope. They prepare an onion skin slide and focus on it in both low and high power. Then they measure the diameter of one of the cells.

Students demonstrate that living organisms may possess incredible adaptations which enable them to survive. They observe bacteria that are able to orient themselves using the Earth's magnetic field and formulate a hypothesis as to how...
