A short slide show to display the characteristics of group 13 on the periodic table of elements. The atomic structure and reasons for their physical and chemical characteristics are not explained, and so this would only be an...

Learners pose scientific questions about food items and research their explanations. They then create recipe cards with the answers and present their findings in a cooking show format.

Students research real-time and historic temperature data of U.S. and world locations, and analyze the data using mean, median, and mode averages. They graph the data and draw conclusions by analyzing the data. A spreadsheet is used to...

Third graders explore the idea of formulating a hypothesis and designing an experiment to test the hypothesis.

Students engage in a school project help unite the feelings and make each student feel a very special part of their school. This project would be a great beginning of the school "opener" for students and their teachers.

Students research and prepare an almanac on the Arctic. They examine the laws that attempt to provide jurisdiction over this area and consider how these laws be affected if geography of the Arctic continues to change due to global warming.

Seventh graders investigate the particulate level of solids, liquids, and gases. They examine how the particle method show the interplay between scientific theories and evidence.

Students participate in experiments to visualize the differences between chemical and physical changes. They attempt to detect the five characteristics of a chemical change.

Students complete a variety of labs to help them explain how energy affects the changes in states of matter. They also be required to collect and record data, graph data, and apply interpretations of that data.

Third graders learn the responsibility of citizenship and learn facts about a state they choose to research.

Students build simple stream tables and vary the angle of the stream tables in order to simulate different flow rates and compare the results. They observe various features formed in a stream table by flowing water and compare these to...
