Pupils conduct experiments to learn about seed germination. In this seed germination lesson, students write a hypothesis for the seed experiment. pupils complete the experiment for seed germination and graph the data obtained from the...

Students explore invasive species on an environment.  In this exploratory instructional activity students hypothesize why shrimp are on the decline and make a brochure or poster showing their results. 

Students observe two chelae. They write three differences they observe in their notebooks. Students suggest a hypothesis which would explain these differences. They dissect the chela. Students analyze the lobster claw as a mechanical lever.

Learners conduct an experiment to discover what happens to air when it is heated or cooled, discover that wind moves from a high-pressure area (an area of sinking air) to a low pressure area (an area of rising air).

Students interpret and create different types of graphs. They analyze data from charts, develop a survey and design appropriate graphic illustrations and make a presentation.

Students hypothesize, collaborate, and present their ideas on uses of simple machines. They research an invention, make a model of their cartoon or invent a new tool.

Fourth graders conduct a lab activity that measures the factors that change the swing rate of a pendulum. They create a hypothesis and test it during the experiment. They record their observations using the recording sheets and journal...

Pupils investigate the concepts of conservation of mass and simple chemical reactions. Students complete lab experiments and record all observations as well as conduct experiments on their own to determine which reactions created...

Students, using Leo's Lyrics, investigate common themes in popular music. They create a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that analyzes their findings along with a 200 word paragraph stating their observations, conclusions and hypotheses about...

Learners discuss Sol LeWitt and conceptual art, then analyze the differences in expressing a concept through model-based inquiry and aesthetic art criticism. They develop a geometric, scientific, or mathematical concept, then create an...

Students explore weather instruments. In this weather instructional activity, students make rain gauges, anemometers, and barometers following the instructions given in the instructional activity. Students set up a weather station using...

Students analyze the events leading to U.S. entry into World War I. They read a speech by President Wilson and an opposition speech, list the reasons each gives for American entry into the war, and complete a Venn diagram.

Third graders conduct experiments in matter to create chemical changes resulting in gases. By mixing solids and liquids, they create a chemical reaction and capture the gas in balloons. After observing the balloons fill with carbon...

For this math worksheet, students answer 6 questions regarding given limits in a table of data, properties of limits and the Squeeze Theorem.

Certain things just do not mix, including liquids of varying densities. Learners collect data to determine the densities of several liquids. They then use the density information to predict the type of liquid.

How do people get sick? Youngsters explore the world of germs and microbes with a lab sheet and science investigation. After identifying the unhygenic practices in a picture of a kitchen, fifth graders conduct an experiment with bread...

In this science activity, students examine the topic in order to solidify knowledge covered in the curriculum using puzzles and creative games.

Middle schoolers examine how scientists are at odds on whether or not dinosaurs were warm or cold blooded.  In this dinosaurs activity students divide into groups and research the evidence that supports each side. 

Students investigate clams. In this clam life activity, students conduct an experiment where they dissect clams. Students compare anatomies of humans and clams. 

Students grow mold. In this science experiment lesson, students grow mold on different pieces of bread by adjusting the moisture, temperature, and light. They record the results to see which grows the most mold. 

Students make estimates and then measure leaves for accuracy. They calculate the area of the leaves by drawing an outline on graph paper and counting the squares. They compare the leaves exposed to sunlight to those that are in constant...

Learners explore the idea of scientific observation and the use of a journal to record their observations. They examine the proper vocabulary used when describing scientific inquiry. Students observe a science experiment and they discuss...

Students explore language arts by creating Venn Diagrams. In this reading materials lesson, students examine a horn-book and create a hypothesis about how to use it and where they derived from. Students compare their horn-book to a text...

Pupils use microscopes to observe E. coli bacateria on prepared slides and in a live culture. They use micro-slide viewers to observe the shapes of various bacteria and the structures within the bacterial cell. Students make an...
