In this current events activity, students analyze political cartoons about Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth." Students respond to 3 talking point questions.

Seventh graders research about the effect of climate on different ecosystems. In this life science lesson, 7th graders present their research by creating a poster, infomercial, skit or song. They discuss how organisms adapt to climate...

Learners conduct experiments with ice, water and steam to observe the water cycle. They discuss substances that water accumulates from the Earth as it moves through its cycle.

Pupils identify the properties of a metamorphic rock. They make delicious pancakes on a hot griddle at school to simulate how metamorphic rocks are made.

Student role play as statues in a wax museum while the teacher takes the role of the curator. They stand in a static position until the curator leaves the room. They interact until the curator returns at which point they freeze. Now they...

There are only six short answer questions on this assignment. Chemists explain electrical conduction properties of salt, salt water, and gold. They compare ionic and covalent bonds. The explain bond strengths. Perhaps you could use this...

The opening slide in this presentation defines free verse poems. The three subsequent slides demonstrate how personal experience can be used as the basis for a free verse poem.

The landscape impacted by glacier activity is drawn at the top of this worksheet. Ten multiple choice questions follow, some relating to the diagram, and some about the quality of soil left by glaciation. It is not often that you come...

Consider this quiz on Hamlet for your class. It includes ten questions that cover characters and quotations from the play. Anyone can make a Fun Trivia Quiz, so look carefully at the content and relevancy of the questions provided....

The water cycle is explained in five steps in this PowerPoint. Individual slides also show color graphics of how we use water at play, at work, and at home. Tasks are given throughout the presentation. One of them asks learners to...

Don't be capricious. Evoke the acute curiosity of your middle schoolers and evade the apathy that can harass the inert with a 15 word matching worksheet. Pairs or groups can have fun playing with individualistic vocabulary words.

In this Land of No Trees instructional activity, students read a passage titled "Land of No Trees" about the Arctic Tundra and complete an experiment and short answer questions about it. Students complete an experiment with a plastic...

Students model the arrangement of particles in a liquid. They use the model, to demonstrate how a gas is formed from a liquid with no increase in temperature as energy is added. Pupils model the arrangement and movement of gas particles.

In this chemistry worksheet, learners investigate through experimentation the solidifying behavior of some edible fat mixtures by determining their cooling curves. Then they data-log equipment to obtain a large number of temperature...

In this graphs and money worksheet, students complete word problems about different kinds of graphs and money in those graphs. Students complete 10 multiple choice problems.

Young scholars determine the volume of water in a given amount of snow. They calculate a ratio for water volume per snow volume.

Students explore how chemicals change water. In this chemical change lesson, students participate in an experiment to observe how salt effects ice and how ice cream freezes.

Students learn how science affects foods. In this chemical reactions lesson, students make two kinds of ice cream. They evaluate the different changes based on the ingredients.

Students observe an experiment. In this water activity, students observe as water is changed into vapor. They record their observations by completing a data sheet.

Learners examine molecules and the changes in energy of a system.  For this energy systems lesson students complete a lab activity and describe changes of state.

Students see that solar energy is the energy given off by the sun. They explain that when light energy is absorbed by objects it is changed to heat energy and that dark-colored objects absorb more light and store more heat from sunlight.

Students work together to test how the color of a material affects how much heat it absorbs. They make predictions and take notes on their observations. They discover how engineers use this type of information.

Students, in teams, generate and research questions about Canada's receding glaciers. They then hold a 'press conference' in which each team provides answers for questions in their area of research. Finally, they pool their information...

Eighth graders analyze questions posted on a large poster in the room and work in groups to record their response to the question on paper, rotating to the next question after two minutes have passed. They review the characteristics of...
