Students discuss methods of transportation they use and create a trip tally to determine which methods they use the most.

AP biologists aspire to respire with this worksheet. In it, they write short answers to 26 questions about cellular respiration. Topics addressed include the Kreb's cycle, fermentation, and more. Written as a chapter reading...

Analyze a Happy Meal™ for nutrient content and calories. Blend the contents into "McMush" and use Biuret's solution to test for protein content. There are a few problems with the lesson plan: the resource links are no longer...

Eleven slides are used in this PowerPoint to present how nuclear magnetic resonance works and to give learners an opportunity to interpret examples of nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. Ample information is provided, so this is a...

For this chemistry worksheet, students solve chemical equations and define terminology using previous knowledge. There are 8 review questions.

Young scholars conduct a variety of experiments on photosynthesis. In this biology activity, students identify the factors required for the process to occur. They perform computerized experiments to test the amount of oxygen produced...

This activity would provide a great assessment for teachers to test student knowledge. Students are asked to complete 3 charts which characterize types of chemical bonds such as alkanes, alkenes, or alkynes. They must also determine the...

Students conduct a variety of experiments to explore protein. In this biology lesson plan, students solve a mystery by testing for the presence of glucose, protein starch and triglycerides. They explain how DNA transcription and...

In this crude oil worksheet, students read about the fractions of crude oil and their demand. They answer questions about the data given.

In this photosynthesis, disease and Immune System worksheet, students fill in the blanks with key terms to complete sentences about the transfer of energy from the sun to plants, enzymes as catalysts in reactions, homeostasis, the immune...

Young scholars discuss the importance of plankton in the ocean ecosystem. In this biology lesson plan, students identify the different types plankton by observing them under the microscope. They explain how plankton population affect...

Second graders observe car pooling patterns and the important role car pools play in reducing air pollution. They explain how they get to school and graph the types of transportation that is used. Students make a list of the different...

Students investigate empirical formulas for molecules. In this empirical formulas lesson plan, students use paper ions to form formulas and they show these are empirical formulas. They use ions of carbon and hydrogen showing electron...

In this isomer worksheet, students use molecular model kits to build isomers. Students work in groups and draw and name the isomers they build. They answer 9 questions about both geometric and structural isomers.

Students create models of structural isomers, geometric isomers, and polymers.  In this chemistry lesson, students are given definitions and molecular model kits to create a variety of different isomers and polymers.

Students take a closer look at human skin. For this biology lesson plan, students describe the four functions of the skin as they complete a hands-on activity.

Young scholars recognize which activities contribute to poor air quality and which contribute to good air quality. They discover how air quality is measured, and come up with ways that humans can have a positive affect on air quality.

Fifth graders, in groups, conduct an experiment in which they measure ground level ozone levels using an ozone measuring kit. They analyze and compare the weather conditions and locations where ozone readings are highest and lowest.

Middle schoolers research the affects that particulate matter has on the quality of our air and our health. Students analyze a streaming video on air pollution and complete an internet research assignment to find ways to reduce...

Students conduct the Biuret Test and the Bio Rad Protein Assay. They examine the spectrophotometer and graph molecular weights and the concentrations of the proteins investigated. They prepare solutions for the Bio-Rad test and use the...
