Young scholars work in groups that are engaged in different activities at different times. They watch the video "Madagascar" and collect data pertaining to the Fish Eagle's arm spam. They work together to perform mathematical...

Young scholars investigate the cycle of mitosis. In this biology lesson plan, students discuss the different stages of mitosis through cell reproduction. They further their investigation through laboratory analysis.

Students gather scientific data and be able to utilize the data to generalize results over a long period of time. They use the appropriate tools to measure quanities of liquids and analyze the data to determine the cost of a leaky faucet.

Students create and conduct various experiments to determine the origin of a family artifact, and then determine whether their results were successful. Students summarize their results and evaluate whether their hypotheses were correct.

Middle schoolers create a map of the classroom using the computer programs AppleWorks and iChat in this math-based technology lesson. Lesson extension ideas include a scavenger hunt and maps of other school buildings.

Students construct a barometer and collect data on the changes in air pressure. They work is small groups using plastic tubing, corks, and green food coloring. They then use a formula to convert inches of mercury to barometric pressure...

Seventh graders examine congruence postulates and apply knowledge to triangles in the world around them.

Students estimate how many children in their class it would take to equal the mass of one adult bear. They then weigh and record their measurement on a chart to check their estimate.

Students create a classification tree based on grouping candy with eight different properties. This allows students to understand how living things are classified.

Fourth graders study the parts of the human circulatory system and how they function. They design a flow chart of the circulatory system and use data to construct charts and graphs.

Young scholars make simple observations, test mixtures, and make generalized inferences from their observations. They observe bleeding of colored inks with water.

Students model the biosphere and manipulate variables affecting change and plan their experiments with the help of others. They describe their question, hypothesis, and methods of investigation.

Students reflect on the data they have analyzed during the Global Sun Temperature Project. They use the project website as a resource for their observations, draft a class report and post it on the Internet.

Learners create maps of snow cover for each continent by conducting Internet research. After estimating the percentage of continental snow cover, they present their findings in letters, brochures or Powerpoint presentations.

Students measure, construct, and classify angles as acute, right, straight, and obtuse. Once they have completed an angle worksheet, students use a map of South Carolina to locate cities by constructing the aforementioned angles.

Young scholars use satellite images to track to movement patterns of deer and examine deer behavior. They write stories about a day in the life of a field scientist.

Students take an imaginary hike in two opposite directions along a lake. They view and interpret satellite images and discuss the pros and cons of hydroelectric dams.

Learners use maps and mathematics to determine the appropriate panther population in a given area. In this Florida ecology instructional activity, students research the area requirements of male and female panther and use a map to help...

Students demonstrate an understanding of the text by completing a propulsion activity, charting the results, and answering questions that demonstrate an understanding of rocket propulsion.

Students make either and insect or a spider using materials their teacher provides. They then draw of picture of their organism and defend why it is either a spider or an insect.

Students classify rocks into groups after they observe the rocks and identify properties that can be used to divide them into groups. They then identify other properties that could be used to classify other objects into groups.

Young scholars make a thermometer and write a paragraph about how they did it.

Students investigate the effect of different container materials on heat transfer; draws a conclusion about the best insulator; and applies concept to a new, seemingly quite different problem.

Students study the bottom structure of underwater habitats and how they can be mapped.
