Students identify the main food in the different cultures they have examined. In groups, they compare and contrast their expected table manners to the ones in Sierra Leone, Uganda and Zambia. Using this list of behaviors, they identify...

Learners identify different types of functions and units of measurements. In this statistics lesson, students will collect data, graph their data and make predictions about their data. They plot a linear regression graph.

Students recognize that body design affects balance. They investigate the basic structure of a dinosaur body to see how it achieved balance, then build any dinosaur body system they want, using small marshmallows and extra straws as needed.

High schoolers explore how scientific knowledge changes in the context of abrupt climate change. They are introduced to some recent ideas about abrupt climate change. This gives them a glimpse into how scientific theories are formed and...

Students break into four groups, starting at different stations. Each station should take about 10 minutes depending on prior knowledge of the topic. They then rotate when everyone is finished to the next station and discuss answers of...

In this science activity, students examine the topic in order to solidify knowledge covered in the curriculum using puzzles and creative games.

Learners demonstrate the three states of matter. In this matter lesson plan, students read Bartholomew and the Ooblek. Learners create "ooblek" and discuss what state of matter it is.

Learners explore the concept of frost depth. In this frost depth lesson, students conduct a scientific investigation that requires them to use a frost tube to measure, record, and graph frost depth data.

Students study Galileo and his scientific discoveries. They complete a series of experiments/model constructions, using 17th century equipment and procedures, to "recreate," demonstrate and explore the various discoveries of Galileo.

Fifth graders participate in a review discussion of the parts of a lever, resistance or load, fulcrum, and effort. Next, they complete activities at six experiment stations while collecting data that they share with the class. While...

Fourth graders analyze how Kentucky's past is different from the present. They research why Kentucky was even explored and settles. What social issues face Kentucky now. Discussion lies on how Kentucky can be improved for the 21st century.

Students research and chart extreme weather events on a timeline. In this extreme weather lesson plan, students interview older people who have experienced extreme weather events. Students complete a worksheet based on the information of...

Students use water, beakers, hot plates, paper dots, and goggles to participate in a hands on activity where they see how a convection current creates wind. For this convection current lesson plan, students participate in a hands on...

Can your class solve right triangles and identify the properties common to right triangles? They will investigate and state the relationship between the altitude to the hypotenuse and the two segments of the hypotenuse formed by the...

Students research the life cycle of a star. In this astronomy lesson plan, students work in groups to research on stage in stellar evolution and report back to the class their findings. They will discuss as a class the order of the...

Young scholars conduct an experiment to determine the temperature tolerance of yeasts. For this biology lesson, students collect data and compare them by plotting graphs. They explain how extreme temperatures affect organisms.

Students explore visual perception and how objects change as distance changes. In this distance and vision lesson, students practice their scientific inquiry skills. Students practice drawing objects from different points of view in...

Students apply statistics, and graphical interpretation to economics, the environment and populations. For this statistical lesson students construct graphical displays and classify data.

Students discuss the value of sampling in science. They, in groups, map cricket movement in response to various stimuli and graph their results.

Here is a problem-solving lesson that has learners take the role of a packaging expert to design an inexpensive means of packaging a potato chip. It could benefit from having more specific detail about the lesson itself, but it does make...

Students explore the concept of probability. In this probability activity, students use random number generators to determine probabilities of events. Students discuss if certain probable events are fair. Students determine fair ways to...

Students identify and describe the poles of a magnet. They demonstrate how the poles interact with one another.
