In this interactive Internet  assignment, physical science investigators answer 11 questions about the atom, the subatomic particles, and atomic structure. They can click on "Reveal Answer" to discover if they are correct. They also...

What's smaller than a kiwi seed? Atoms! Basic atomic structure is detailed for beginning chemists in a light-hearted animation. Protons and neutrons are explained as part of the nucleus, and so are electrons that encircle the nucleus....

There are different types of radioactive decay, and alpha decay is when there are too many protons in a nucleus. Here is a simulation that shows alpha particles being emitted from a polonium nucleus. Learners see how radioactive decay...

How did Rutherford determine that the nucleus was the center of an atom? Take a look inside the famous Gold Foil Experiment with an interesting interactive. Learners fire a beam of alpha particles at a nucleus containing variable...

Donate old socks for science! Young biologists model mitosis and meiosis, using socks as chromosomes and a balloon as a nucleus. This ingenious idea for modeling cell division will be more memorable to your young biologists than any set...

This PowerPoint provides a complete recap of all the information needed for a unit on elements and the periodic table. The seventy slides cover the basic notation of elements, energy levels and ionization energies. The trends in the...

Eight fine-quality slides depict the cells that make up plants. Viewers will see colorful microscope views of the nucleus, cell wall, vacuole, chloroplasts, tracheids, and pollen grains. The resource would apply in either a cell...

How much energy is required to break apart an atomic nucleus and does it vary based on the type of atom? Scholars virtually experiment with a linear accelerator in order to answer these questions. They alter the voltage, length of the...

What's the likelihood of your class understanding probability maps? Young scientists explore the concept using a virtual dartboard in an interesting simulation. The darts establish a pattern around the bull's-eye, which provides a visual...

The dynamics of a city can have a drastic effect on the weather. A hands-on lesson asks learners to build a model to illustrate how city pollution provides a nucleus for condensation. The greater the pollution, the greater chance for...

Lead your young scientists into an exciting world as they participate in a role play and experiment focused on proteins and DNA. After researching the Central Dogma of Biology, individuals or groups participate in a classroom...

In this atom worksheet, learners read about the model of the atom developed by Neils Bohr. Students complete 2 short answer questions based on what they read.

In this science:  atom quiz worksheet, students answer 10 true or false questions, not interactively, then scroll down to check their answers.

In this periodic table worksheet, students use the list of coded letters and clues that correspond to the represented elements in the first four periods of the periodic table to complete the chart at the bottom of the sheet. They...

In this biology worksheet, students respond to 13 multiple choice questions related to cell structure and function. They identify which are microfilamets and which have a cell wall. Students also describe what chloroplasts are and their...

In this atom worksheet, students will complete 8 fill in the blank statements based on the different parts of an atom. Then students will explain how the arrangement of electrons in an atom is related to the periodic table.

In this cell worksheet, students will match 13 vocabulary words relating to cells to the correct definition. The cell vocabulary words cover all the parts of the cell plus eukaryotes, and prokaryotes.

Students study the particles of which atoms are made. They define the electron, proton, and neutron and their attributes.

Fifth graders search into animal and cell characteristics and their functions in this seven lesson unit. Replicas of the cell are constructed out of Jell-O as students probe the internet for details of the concepts.

In this DNA worksheet, students describe how the cell stores all of the data needed to produce the required proteins for the body. Then they describe the ribosomes division and how is attaches itself to RNA and makes protein by forming...

In this chemistry science worksheet, students identify the parts of a chemical reactions. Students name the major particles of the atom. Students apply knowledge about the atom, theories, and models.

Students explore the function and structures of cells, including plant and animal cells. They explore cell parts including cell wall, ribosomes, chromosomes, nucleoid, plasmids, flagella, pilli, and plasma membrane, cel

Young scholars examine the roles of an animal cell's parts, how each part relates to one another and then demonstrate their knowledge by writing a story about the animal cell structure.

Middle schoolers investigate and then build neurons in this lesson. They are examined as key parts of the brain and nervous system and seen as different from normal cells.
