Students complete multi-curricular activities in a Halloween themed lesson. In this Halloween lesson, students examine newspaper ads to find prices of pumpkins and use them to complete a stem and leaf plot. Students find the diameter,...

Students participate in a paper folding activity that has them create a ruler for measuring to the closest 1/16th of an inch.

High schoolers conduct a laboratory experiment designed to investigate the effects of chemicals, soil quality and pollution on seed growth and plant yield. They consider how best to maximize agriculture in the long term.

Fourth graders conduct an experiment involving size and relative ability in smaller species using Madagascar cockroaches. They make predictions about how many pennies the roaches can pull, compare the results to human strength, and...

Young scholars watch a segment of the PBS video which show the lemurs' ability to jump. In pairs, students collect measurement data involving each other's length of a standard step, a standing broad jump, and a long jump. They record...

Fourth graders examine the required combinations of plates and predict which combination will generate the most and least current and voltage. They use an ammeter and experiment with combinations of their own testing and record each...

Fourth graders calculate density, compare densities of solids and liquids, measure liquids using a balance, and investigate the significance of density. They conduct an experiment to determine an order of densities, and complete a...

Students calculate a toy car's velocity and acceleration. For this force and motion lesson, students build ramps and attach a dropper to a toy car, which is released down the ramp. Students calculate and graph velocity and acceleration...

Eighth graders use the data analyzer and motion detector to collect data and measure distances. They create topographic maps drawn to scale of a given setup and relate the concepts to the creation of historical ocean maps.

Students analyze and measure parts of a model skeleton to determine sex, race, height and age. They produce a lab report from their inquiries.

Students design different shaped plots and determine the perimeter, area and shape of each. They compare the shapes that have the same area but may have different perimeters.

In this telemetry worksheet, students will read about how telemetry works and the different ways that scientist use telemetry to gather data. Students complete 2 short answer questions based on the reading.

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

multiple resources from various sites. I am, needless to say, frustrated, and don't understand why the programmers say they have tested and do not experience this. I have the problem with both Internet Explorer on a PC and Safari on a...

Young scholars create a scale model of the Earth and the sun that demonstrates where the SOHO satellite is in relation to the Earth.

Fourth graders participate in an activity measuring length, weight and capacity. They incorporate physical movements to help them explore measurement.

High schoolers use science inquiry skills to build and launch a simple rocket, from several wooden launch pads of various angles, to determine what trajectory angle carry a rocket the greatest distance.

Students 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 examine computerized data maps in order to create graphs of the amount of snowfall found at certain latitudes by date. Then they compare the graphs and the data they represent. Students present an analysis of the graphs.

Fourth graders explore Haiku and create their own Haiku poem.

Fifth graders measure the temperature of water using a thermometer. They record the temperatures of water on a chart. Students use the temperature data to determine which materials are the best conductors of heat. They discuss their...

Students design a collage of pictures for a yearbook that make a shape. They determine the area of the shape and the price of putting the collage in the yearbook.

Students, working on their GED, examine the steps used to resolve the unknown sides of a right triangle. They express the square root function as an exponential function and derive the distance formula using principles of geometry.

Learners examine the relationship between circumference and diameter and how to use the formula to find the area of a circle.  In this circle lesson students divide into groups and complete an activity.
