Students discover the entire process that goes into designing a rocket for any customer. They study important factors such as supplies, ethics, deadlines and budgets. Also, students explore about the Engineering process, and recognize...

Middle schoolers investigate the difference between potential and kinetic energy. They examine the formulae associated with both types of energy. They complete how quickly a pendulum with swing by converting potential energy into kinetic...

Students perform an experiment, collect, and analyze data of a rolling marble down a ramp. They report results after they complete their experiment. Students are assessed in science and writing.

Students explore the relationship between the force applied to a spring and its stretch. They design and conduct an experiment to determine the stretch of spring with 15N of force without having an actual 15N mass.

Students design and conduct an experiment to explore the insulating abilities of different materials for keeping a liquid in a paper cup warm. A small group of lab partners test four different materials: black paper, white paper,...

Learners investigate and compare the bouncing ability of the materials from which four different balls are made. They determine which material performs the best for use as a basketball. After collecting data in a small group they...

Students investigate the concept of sound and vibration. They use a tuning fork to make an observation. Students then propose the ideas of different experimental designs to test the concept. The ideas are constructed and then tested.

Students brainstorm ants and their characteristics in a class discussion. They observe the ants and answer question pertaining to their behavior; then they apply the scientific method in creating and investigating a problem.

In this plants worksheet, students watch movies about plant growth and then answer multiple choice and short answer questions about them. Students answer 6 questions total.

Sixth graders investigate the construction of a magnet and the force it produces. They identify various materials as magnetic or non-magnetic, discuss the properties of magnetic properties, and conduct an experiment with a compass and...

In this vibrations and waves learning exercise, students determine the period and frequency of a pendulum with the mass of .100 kg released. Then they determine whether the amounts increase, decrease, or stay the same when the same...

In this math worksheet, students solve seven problems using the formula for speed, distance, and time. Students use a table to elicit the system of equations, and solve them using either combining techniques or substitution.

In this math learning exercise, students find the plane perpendicular to the path (t2, t, cos 2πt) at time t = 1/4. Then they determine the location in which the object is moving the fastest.

In this physics 210 activity, learners answer the question of the predicted modes of oscillations heard based on the information provided in the word problems. Students apply their understanding of sound waves to answer the questions given.

Young scholars will design and build a structure to support a rock. Students will use their knowledge of movement of objects to determine the proper base to be built to support their rock. Young scholars will explore their natural area...

Middle schoolers examine the law of conservation of momentum. In this physics lesson, students play marbles in order to compare the mass of the marble and velocities effects. Middle schoolers receive directions of the marbles game and...

Students explore the concept of gravity. In this gravity lesson, students drop super balls from varying heights. Students record the height of the super ball on bounce zero and bounce one.

Pupils study speed and learn how to calculate it.  In this investigative lesson students participate in an activity that shows them how to calculate speed then they fill out a worksheet.

Students conduct an experiment. In this movement lesson, students see how far a marble will roll after coming down a ramp. The students change the height of the ramp to make it roll faster and record their results.

Students study how alpine glaciers move and the factors that effect how fast a glacier moves.  In this glacier activity students construct a glacier model, make a hypothesis and interpret data. 

Students explore poetry and technology.  In this poetry writing lesson, students choose a theme and write a pattern poem, then create a related slideshow.

Sixth graders write a poem and an essay about the machines they have learned about that are used in agriculture. In this machines lesson plan, 6th graders compare different kinds of machines and discuss the economic impact machines in...

Students discuss agriculture. In this farming lesson, students compare farming practices from the past compared to when machines were introduced. They discuss this concept as a class and participate in multiple activities. This lesson...

High schoolers define what inertia is in their own words. In this physics lesson, students observe what happens to their action figure as the skateboard stops suddenly. They apply Newton's 1st law to real world situations.
