For this health worksheet, students identify various infectious diseases and explore the available options for stopping or preventing the spread of disease. They participate in a simulation experiment on how to measure and prevent. There...

Young scholars conduct Internet research about various websites noting the design and appearance of them. Working in small groups, they compare and contrast the sites and share their opinions of them with classmates. They also examine...

Students test the factors that influence the rate at which a virus spreads through a population. They complete a lab activity then discuss data collected and review and answer a set of questions.

Students evaluate the state of Japan's military and their defense strategy under the current Shinzo Abe administration. They watch the film, 'The Raping of Nanking' and read "The Return of Japanese Militarism: Rising Sun" by Joshua...

Students investigate the effects of acid rain by conducting an experiment with bean sprouts and graph the results. In this Environmental Policy lesson plan, students visit a museum to identify examples of foreign and domestic policy on...

Learners observe water samples and measure the samples' water quality. Learners develop their own criteria for measuring water quality and test for temperature, acidity, oxygen levels, turbidity, conductance, sediment and hardness.

In this acids and bases worksheet, students read about the differences between acids and bases and then complete a table comparing the characteristics of both. Then students determine if the given statements describe an acid, base, or...

Tenth graders participate in hands-on activities that require them to consider the implications of water pollution. In this environmental stewardship lesson, 10th graders conduct 6 experiments pertaining to water pollution and discuss...

Students investigate the effects of acid rain. The lesson contains a lab background for the teacher to use before the implementation of the lesson. They conduct an experiment to collect data and then report the results of the observations.

Students test for amaylase enzyme in a variety of substances. Student pairs perform a series of tests to determine how long it takes the starch sample to change to sugar molecules and the blue color to disappear when various saliva...

Students examine chemical leavening agents in dough and batters.

Fifth graders conduct experiments to compare seed germination and plant growth rates. They construct a hydroponic plant unit and a lighthouse. They care for the plants for a month and collect data for graphs. They write a report.

Students investigate the corrosion of different materials in the lab. For this chemistry lesson, students construct a bridge considering different bridge designs. At the end of the lesson, they play the role of scientists and engineers...

Seventh graders research the six European "postage stamp" (small) countries and research interesting facts about them. In groups, they are assigned to one of the six countries of Andorra, Liechtenstein, Malta, Monaco, San Marino, or...

In this "kitchen chemistry" project about acid/base chemistry, you will measure the acidity or alkalinity of a solution using a logarithmic scale called the pH scale. As you learn about the pH scale, you will have the chance to make your...

At this site you will find a step by step process for making a natural pH indicator. One of the main materials you need to have on hand is a red cabbage.

Make your own ph indicator and mix it with some baking soda and notice a reaction occur.

Learners explain that carbon dioxide from any source reacts chemically with water to form carbonic acid. They will also be able to use the color changes of universal indicator to monitor the changing pH of a solution during a chemical...

Explore the advent of corn as a nutritional staple in the human diet. Observe popping corn and measure differences in the mass of the corn before and after heating, and make pH indicators using fruit, flowers or vegetables.

Explore bending of light between two media with different indices of refraction. See how changing from air to water to glass changes the bending angle. Play with prisms of different shapes and make rainbows.

This experiment is for all the kids out there who love boiled cabbage. Even if you don't like cabbage, perhaps you will like this amazing color-changing liquid you can make with cabbage. You'll learn which solutions around your house can...

Make your own indicator by using red cabbage leaves and common household items. Includes full list of materials, procedures, and scientific explanation of how to determine if a substance is acidic, basic, or neutral based on the colors...

Students set up and run the experiments they designed in the lesson Population Growth in Yeasts, using simple yeast-molasses cultures in test tubes. Population growth is indicated by the amount of respiration occurring in the cultures,...
