Students evaluate geography by drawing an image in class. For this river lesson, students identify a list of vocabulary terms associated with bodies of water. Students identify how a river is formed and draw a picture of one including...

Students conduct an experiment using the steps of the scientific method. In this scientific method lesson, students experiment with temperature and record their findings using the scientific method. Students complete a data sheet based...

Students compare weather data and draw conclusions. In this climate change lesson plan, students determine whether data collected over a period of ninety years shows a warming trend. 

Tenth graders identify stars based on their line spectra. In this astronomy lesson, 10th graders analyze spectrograph and determine the elements present in the star. They explain the relationship between temperature and star classes.

Third graders study machines. They watch a video about and identify and chart machines they find at home and at school. They design and build simple and compound machines, create an advertisement for them and attempt to sell them at the...

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.

Young scholars develop an ability to distinguish between simple error, misconduct and fraud. Students are lead to consider a widening circle of the consequences of misconduct and fraud. They expand their knowledge on the...

Students examine different types of extreme weather and how to prepare for them. In this weather activity students explore different types of extreme weather and create disaster preparation posters for different types of extreme...

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. In this biology lesson, students collect data and compare them by plotting graphs. They explain how extreme temperatures affect organisms.

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

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

Students study and identify different types of simple machines and how they work. They design a simple machine.

Students complete a unit with cross-curricular activities to learn about a healthy body and maintaining their health. In this health lesson, students complete 8 lessons to learn about good health, a healthy diet, healthy foods, healthy...

Students practice trends forecasting to predict the weather. In this forecasting lesson plan, students learn how meteorologists predict the weather by looking at weather trends. They then predict their own forecast, analyze the results,...

Students recognize the elements of an analog weather forecast.  In this weather forecasting lesson, students use a website and look for trends, persistence and climatology in weather forecasting.  Students complete a...

Students interview an Elder to determine ways of forecasting the weather.  In this weather lesson plan, students use the information from an interview to make a weather prediction.

Students recognize the three main types of clouds. For this clouds lesson, students create a cloud mobile to understand clouds.

Students explore clouds.  In this weather lesson, students identify the steps in the water cycle, define condensation and evaporation, and relate this information to cloud formation.  Students perform a cloud experiment,...

Students measure humidity in the classroom. In this weather lesson, students use a psychrometer to measure the humidity in the classroom. Students complete a lab packet.

Students understand that a psychrometer is a weather instrument used to detect humidity. In this psychrometer lesson plan, students build a psychrometer.  Students use their psychrometers to measure humidity activity.

Students discover the relationship between the sun and Earth.  In this weather lesson, students examine the effect of the sun on the Earth's seasons.  Students complete a weather activity using props to simulate the sun and...

Students understand that temperatures in Alaska can be negative numbers. For this temperature lesson, students recognize the temperatures above and below zero. Students compare temperatures using the greater than and less than signs....
