Starting with a paragraph of information presenting the different ways we can observe planetary objects, pupils work through these instructions to see how they can observe and measure angles.  Your class will discover how these...

Can you go ice fishing in the ocean? Learners examine the freezing point of different saltwater solutions. Each solution has a different concentration of salt. By comparing the freezing points graphically, they make conclusions...

Microbiology beginners feed different sweetening agents to yeast and measure carbon dioxide production to estimate energy contained in each. They set the trials up in zip-top plastic baggies and then measure gas volume by water...

Here is a good lesson which aptly describes how to do the classic "Oobleck" lab with your young scientists. Unfortunately, the "Oobleck Investigation Sheet" in the plan doesn't open. However, this is a very clear description about how to...

In this chemistry review worksheet, students answer and solve 95 questions about chemical reactions, hydrocarbons, functional groups, moles, acids and bases and solutions.

For this metric system worksheet, students are given ten sets of measurements with metric units and they are to place each set of measurements in the proper order from the largest to the smallest based on the unit.

Learners explore the solar system. In this planets lesson, students learn about the other planets in the solar system. They watch a video clip from National Geographic on the solar system, compare and contrast the planets and create a...

Students demonstrate how to use math skills to measure their lung capacity. In this human biology lesson plan, students use a clear plastic container, measuring cup and rubber balloons to demonstrate how the lungs work. Students estimate...

For this metric worksheet, learners read about the metric system and British system of measurement. They answer 58 questions about the metric system and convert from one unit of measurement to another.

Students make their own compost in a 2-liter jug and determine the actual volume loss in the composted material over a six-month period.

Eighth graders explore the term capacity and understand the word's meaning. They participate in several lab stations set up around the room in which they will estimate how many scoops it will take to fill the container. They then will...

Students calculate the densities of several liquids that appear similar.  In this physical science lesson, students go beyond understanding the way liquids of different densities behave to researching how this knowledge applies in...

Students explore the basic geometric shapes and geometric shape vocabulary through the use of geoboards and virtual geoboards. They create a variety of shapes with a partner, build ten different rectangles on their geoboards, and...

In this conversion worksheet, students solve 9 problems where they convert from one unit of measurement to another using a given table with conversion factors.

In this quantitative analysis activity, students perform a lab to determine the amount of acetic acid in vinegar by doing a titration. They use an indicator phenolphthalein to determine the endpoint of the titration.

Students investigate why cells divide. In this cell size lesson plan, students observe how far a solution travels into 3 different size model cells of agar. They answer questions about the most effect movement of "nutrients" into the...

Seventh graders determine whether two triangles are congruent and provide an explanation to why they are not. They apply concepts of measurement of angles and collect evidence of congruent angles in the world.

Young scholars observe demonstrations that show adhesion, cohesion, equilibrium density, pressure of gases and solubility. In this gases lesson plan, students observe a demonstration of raisins, spaghetti, and popcorn moving up and down...

Students explore and experiment with the concept do new kinds of insects appear after soil modification. They assess and review scientific methods of observation, predicting, variables, math skills, ratio, proportions, graphs and the art...

Using the scientific method, and bubble gum, learners conduct a motivating experiment. After conducting a series of tests involving bubble gum, they graph and analyze their results. This is the type of activity everyone loves.

Students make a striking visual display showing the distribution of water on earth.

Students design a simple boat and predict how much weight it can carry. They should also discover why objects float or sink and how this can be determined experimentally. A great lesson on buoyancy!

In this exercise, students practice estimating volume. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints, watch a tutorial video, and try questions repeatedly.
