Tenth graders investigate the relationships of pressure and volume and pressure and temperature of gases. In this gases lesson plan, 10th graders use an inflated balloon to show the relationship between volume and temperature of the air...

Students make a bungee cord. In this potential and kinetic energy activity, students work in groups to create a bungee cord for an egg. Students evaluate and test their cord. After performing the experiment the students answer...

Using the Twist™ application, elementary schoolers design their dream room. They follow the prescribed steps to calculate width, length, perimeter, and surface area in order to create a 2-dimensional representation of their dream room...

Students create a timeline of the times dinosaurs lived.  In this  dinosaur timeline lesson, students research the various periods when dinosaurs lived. Students work in groups to research the dinosaurs of a specific time...

For this weather worksheet, students click on the links in the questions about weather to find the answers to the questions and then come back and answer the questions. Students answer 17 questions total.

Eighth graders complete a unit of lessons on basic geometry concepts. They participate in a variety of activities, culminating in a project that involves publishing a booklet or a poster that presents the major geometry concepts from the...

First graders plan a trip for Christopher Columbus. They use their math skills to construct a ship for Columbus' voyage. They show their ship and calculations to their classmates and build graphs to show the amount of supplies needed to...

Tenth graders observe the processes of evaporation, condensation, melting, freezing, boiling, and sublimation. They do a quantitative investigation of the freezing of water, to explore explanations that involve particles.

Middle schoolers 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 triangles worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 22 different problems related to various types of triangles. First, they name the shortest and longest sides and the smallest and largest angles in each of triangles...

Students explore the Civil War through original maps.  In this mapping lesson, students calculate distance and show it on an original map. Students examine the type of landscape and its landmarks and draw symbols on the map.

In groups of four, students construct aquatic habitats in pop bottles. They create charts and record data from observations over a four week period. Then they graph their data and write explanations for what they observed.

Learners construct aluminum foil boats that float while holding the greatest number of pennies. They investigate the concept of water displacement, record their results, and watch a Bill Nye video on buoyancy.

Middle schoolers study earthquakes, monitor seismic activity using the Web, and plot real-time activity. They examine movement of the Earth's tectonic plates. They create an earthquake preparedness project.

Students draw a line graph, and use graphing as a tool to discover more about conduction, convection and radiation. They should design their own experiment using heat sensitive paper to show they explain these 3 processes.

Learners grow salt crystals by making a saturated solution of table salt and let the solution sit around and evaporate.

Students explore pentominoes in this activity. They build shapes as directed and color the tiles on their grid sheet.

Third graders do dental flossing. In this dental care lesson plan, 3rd graders demonstrate proper dental flossing technique and describe the benefits of flossing.

Fourth graders investigate patterns and sequences.  In this patterns and sequences lesson, 4th graders use a hundreds chart to build recurring patterns.  Students skip count by threes and fives on a hundreds chart by coloring...

Learners investigate climate change and how the properties of carbon dioxide and methane play a part.  In this climate lesson students use a chemical reaction to trap CO2 and methane.

Third graders read the story, Magic Schoolbus Inside the Human Body. Then they form right, acute, and obtuse angles using the joints inside their bodies. They write a brief summary about what they learned about angles as a review the...

Fifth graders, in groups, complete two activities in which various substances are combined, resulting in a very different substances. They discuss reactants and products and chemical reactions.

Students determine how a plant grows best. In this botany instructional activity, students observe variables that affect plant growth. Students explore how to grow and maintain a plant. Students make observations of their plant as it grows.

Students watch a series of videos and observe the different plants and animals found in the rainforests. In this ecology lesson, students discuss how technology helped scientists study the jungle. They create 3D maps of Borneo rainforests.
