Students create rubber band band powered cars. In this engineering lesson, students are given common materials in order to create their own car. They measure distance and speed of different designs. 

Students explain the importance of scientific notation. In this physics lesson, students determine the resistance of resistors using the colored bands. They compare and contrast scientific notation and resistor band notation.

Word problems can make even expert mathematicians go blank. Practice solving word problems with an extended version of the GUESS method (givens, unknowns, equations, solve, substitute), which adds the steps of drawing a diagram, making...

Study diffraction patterns using CDs and DVDs! Scholars measure the diffraction patterns of a light wave as it hits a CD or DVD. Using the information, they can measure the distance between the tracks. 

After a brief lecture on levers, torque, projectiles, and the five-step engineering design cycle, young physical science learners or engineers build catapults out of craft sticks. This is an open-ended exploration of what works and what...

Students investigate the concept of identifying different objects in nature and classifying them into different categories. The students will describe and explain a group of the objects orally and in writing form that is appropriate to...

In this system of equations activity, students solve 2 problems by creating a system of equations for each problem in order to determine the average intensity of flares from the sun and the average power from a satellite transponder.

Students explore the food pyramid. In this nutrition lesson, students identify the 5 food groups and sort foods according to the group in which they belong. Students use the Visual Thesaurus to complete a food groups worksheet and...

In this solar system worksheet, students answer 20 short answer questions about the stars, the planets, the sun and moon, meteorites and constellations.

In this weather worksheet, students identify with the symbols found on a weather map that show the locations of fronts, high- and low-pressure areas, and various types of precipitation across the United States. Then they use the map...

Students predict the direction of movement for the pointer of a home-made galvanometer for a given current direction and describe how the current-carrying coil exerts a force on the magnet.

Students must find out the velocity vector for a student practicing their marching at night under a strobe light.
