Third graders experiment with common grass and cellular division.

For this literacy worksheet, students look for the words in the puzzle that are related to the theme of the word search. Spelling skills are worked on.

Fifth graders characterize insects and classify insects according to the Linnaean system. They use hand lenses or microscopes to examine insect body parts.

Students examine the probability of the various findings in a game and determine the odds of winning. They differentiate between the facts of odds versus probability. Students use higher order thinking skills to explain how a problem is...

Students explain what factors determine density. In this physics lesson, students hypothesize which objects are less dense. They cite the importance of density in everyday life.

Students write the electron configuration of elements using the Aufbau principle. In this chemistry lesson, students build their own key that demonstrates the principle.

Students participate in an experiment to become aware of the harmful effects of an acidic solution -- acid rain.

Learners, in pairs, complete research about an assigned person. One student does research in the library and the other on the Internet. They come back together, compare their research, and compile a list of 10 main facts about their person.

Middle schoolers are introduced to the various types of sedimentation. In groups, they define the term and research what causes it to happen. They compare and contrast the different types of sedimentation and research how it occurs off...

Learners observe the behavior of termites and draw conclusions about their behavior. They record data as to termite behavior and recognize elements in the experimental design which must include a hypothesis.

Students, in groups, take samples from a creek and keep a field journal on their samples. They also perform tests on their samples.

High schoolers experiment with crystals and polymers and examine their roles in food science.

Students experiment with several chaotic simulation, they build a working definition of chaos. Students reinforce their knowledge of basic probability and percents. They are reminded of previous knowledge that is pertinent to this...

Students explore and complete a variety of activities demonstration probability. They make observations about the results of the activities. Students complete and discuss conditional probability. Also, students draw conclusions about...

Students identify and describe the building blocks that make up an atom. They also compare the ages of atoms to the ages of the materials they compose,as well as, give examples that illustrate the small size of atoms.

Students identify the sea turtle management documentary and complete an activity for each slide. They plot the location of nests laid on the island they patrol and discuss their rationale for management decisions. Finally, students...

High schoolers evaluate their current food choices. In this health science lesson, students test different drinks to rate the amount of Vitamin C content. They discuss results in class.
