Students act out the cycling of nitrogen through the environment. In this nutrient cycle lesson, students role play as nitrogen atoms traveling through the nitrogen cycle. They travel to stations and roll dice to determine the...

Students create a garden.  In this ozone lesson, students discuss ozone injury, identify plants sensitive to ozone, and then plant their own ozone garden.

Students research lightning paying particular attention to how it is formed, where it is most likely to occur, and how most people struck by lightning survive.

Learners engage in a lesson that is concerned with the water cycle and different states of matter. They conduct research using a variety of resources in preparation for taking a quiz. Then students take the quiz in correlation to having...

In this fossil worksheet, students match six terms with their definitions about types of fossils and they circle the proper term to make nine statements true about preservation of fossils.

In this fossils activity, students review the different types of fossils including index and trace fossils. This activity has 6 matching and 9 true or false questions.

Learners conduct research in order to find the effects of properties exposed to heat and how they change temperature. They consider the effect of sunlight upon objects that are placed outside with the help of an experiment. They also...

Tenth graders examine chemical reactions.  For this chemistry lesson students choose an investigation that they wish to perform based on their interest.

In this biochemistry activity, students complete a table by filling in the missing information about different elements. Students draw the Bohr diagram and the Lewis dot diagram for several atoms.

Eighth graders identify the types of bonds elements form. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders represent valence electrons with dot structures. They draw and label different atoms.

Students create products from studying about matter that include: Make a "T" chart with matter and non matter items. Write a poem, song, or rap about matter. Five vocabulary words from the chapter must be included in the poem.

Students examine the carbon cycle while identifying its sources, sinks, and release agents. Using magazines and newspapers, groups of students design collages illustrating the carbon cycle. Finally, they write responses to several...
