Using helium as an example of propane, physical science middle schoolers experiment with and graph the relationship between temperature and volume in gases. In a whole-class demonstration, they show how molecules behave under different...

Middle schoolers explore heat energy and how it is used to change the phase of matter, and discover that temperature does not increase or decrease until the phase change is complete. This extremely well-written plan is packed with great...

Students explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Elementary and middle schoolers participate in a demonstration of the heat and humidity of the Manu rainforest environment. They watch and discuss a video, calculate the humidity and temperature in the humidified tent, and write a...

There has been a huge solar energy spill! Let's go outside to play in it. This lesson includes multiple experiments showcasing solar and wind energies. Scholars build a solar heater and an anemometer before testing the results. The...

Young geologists attempt to predict the appearnace of a geode's internal structure based on how it looks from the outside, its mass, and its physical characteristics. In this geologly lesson plan, learners use scientific equipment to...

Hands-on and real-world applications are great ways to teach mathematical concepts. Creative thinkers examine how ratios are used to create scale models of buildings and structures. They practice working with ratios by looking at a map...

Step-by-step laboratory instructions are listed so that chemistry explorers can consider the solubility of potassium nitrate. They combined their results with other lab groups' results and then graphed the data to display the solubility...

Ever wonder how scientists measure shifts in weather? Share the answer to this question with a clearly organized slide show depicting various weather tools. Included are images and definitions for a barometer, thermometer, rain gauge,...

Students discuss the different between the English system of measurement and the metric system. Working ins mall groups, students read the weather map. They convert temperatures from one measurement system to another.

Fifth graders investigate units used to measure different geometric situations. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders measure length, mass, volume and temperature using units for measurements. They estimate the measurements before...

Fifth graders conclude that each color of the spectrum has a different amount of thermal energy by measuring temperature with a thermometer. They infer that there is an invisible band of the spectrum by measuring temperature beyond the...

Learners compare NASA satellite data observations with student surface measurements of snow cover and temperature. They practice data collection, data correlations, and making scientific predictions.

Learners examine resource links to examine types of measurement. They play interactive games to practice conversion. They inspect digital and analog clocks as well as the three temperature scales,

Students investigate temperature and its possible effect on living things. They predict, measure, record and compare air and sand at different beach locations. They examine plant and animal adaptations in the same habitat.

Students study temperatures. In this science lesson, students convert temperatures from Fahrenheit to Celsius and from Celsius into Fahrenheit understanding the relationship between the two measurements.

Students explore mean, median and mode. In this math lesson plan, students analyze temperature data and figure the mean, median, and mode of the data. Students graph the data in a bar graph.

Students investigate various common terms of measurement, sort them into categories, select the uncommon terms, and construct conversion tables for both the common and the uncommon terms of measurement.

Students explore the effects of using proper dental hygiene. In this toothpaste experiment lesson, students use eggs, vinegar and crest toothpaste to determine the consequences of plaque on teeth and the effectiveness of toothpaste.

Young scholars simulate the development of an underwater amusement park after reading background on Coral Reef State Park. They decide which factors they would need to consider such as the ocean floor, currents, wave patterns and water...

Students engage in a lesson about the scientific concept of matter. They use essential questions in order to guide the research process. Students engage in several class inquiries that are hands on in order to investigate the properties...

Fourth graders examine the symbols used on weather maps. They analyze a newspaper weather forecast and identify and discuss the various symbols used on the map. Next, they prepare a weather map for their own city using the symbols...

In this measurement worksheet, students complete each of the statements with the correct word related to the metric system. Then they match each letter marked with a number to those at the bottom of the sheet to complete the answer to...

Young scholars complete a Cirlce Map about time. They recall times during the grouchy ladybugs travels, and add dots on ladybugs using turn-around facts. Pupils correctly sequence the events of The Grouchy Ladybug. Students compose new...
