Students engage in a variety of activities that address the ethical issues surrounding the Love Canal case study.

Students write the electron configuration of elements using the Aufbau principle. In this chemistry instructional activity, students build their own key that demonstrates the principle.

Time to show off what they've learned! The final instructional activity in the series of six asks young scholars to process their learning from the previous lessons. They identify possible elements of the sun as well as a possible origin.

In this science worksheet, students choose the multiple choice answer that best defines each of 15 science related vocabulary words.

High schoolers create a food web of the arctic ecosystem. In this biology lesson, students explain how global warming affects this ecosystem. They explain how losing a species affects the entire community.

In this language arts worksheet, students study 20 words in a word bank, then locate them in a word search puzzle. The words appear to be related to chemistry but the meaning of the title is not known.

In this science word puzzle, students fit words to shapes using a set of 15 definition clues. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this science vocabulary worksheet, students match the letter of the science vocabulary word to the number next to its definition. Students match 15 words to 15 definitions.

Seventh graders research on energy conversion. After they have researched several types of energy resources, teams of two to four create posters which depict how these resources can be conserved.

Sixth graders experiment with mixtures. In this chemistry lesson, 6th graders determine which mixtures are considered heterogeneous, a suspension, a solution or a colloid. Students create a data sheet of what they discover.

Students build metal atomic models using styrofoam. In this chemistry lesson, students identify the different unique properties of metals. They explain how metal atoms bond.

Students study about chromatography, a process used to separate mixtures. They see that chromatography is used to detect, separate or purify different substances. This nice instructional activity results in a beautiful t-shirt for each...

Second graders discuss the term "endangered". They identify the reasons some animals are in danger of being wiped out. They discover ways humans can help the species survive.

Second graders create a hypothesis on what objects will attract to magnets. In this magnets lesson plan, 2nd graders use a computer program to create a hypothesis as to what will attract or unattract magnets. For an extension, they test...

Students are introduced to concepts in an AP Chemistry class. They work together to complete experiments on different materials. They discuss the results of the experiments.

Students explore latent fingerprinting. They observe a supervised demonstration of the process that real-life crime scene investigators sometimes use to identify latent fingerprints. In addition, they brainstorm ways to improve the...

Students recognize that the sun is the source of energy driving atmosphere cells. They relate the motion of the atmospheric cells to mantle convection cells. Students recognize that the function of atmospheric cells is to move heat from...

High schoolers research the Internet to fill out their scavenger hunt sheet.  In this research lesson students search the Internet for answers to the questions on the scavenger hunt worksheet. 

Students study about chromatography, a process used to separate mixtures.

Learners create cost effective ways to protect an egg. In this cost conscious lesson plan, students complete an egg drop activity while spending the least amount of money possible.

Learners plot the locations of fallout from two disasters that polluted much of the world's air. They plot the ash fallout from the 1980 Mt. St. Helen's eruption to see what the wind patterns in the United States look like overall. Next...

Eighth graders practice balancing chemical equations. In this chemistry instructional activity, 8th graders explain why it is necessary to balance equations. They complete practice worksheets individually.

Students participate in a class discussion on site of an older style bridge to help connect the significance of each organism in an ecosystem by using an analogy of bolts slowly being removed from a working bridge.

In this chemistry lab, students will investigate, observe, and describe a variety of chemical and physical changes in matter. They will understand that this is part of everyday life.
