Introduce young geologists to types of volcanoes during the pre-lab. First graders explore how different liquids flow with an experiment on viscosity to simulate how different types of lava flow. Next, they learn...

Help young botanists get to the root of photosynthesis with this series of worksheets. By completing these diagrams, students demonstrate their understanding of the biological structures and chemical reactions that make this...

Students investigate the properties of cell membranes by isolating the membrane surrounding chicken eggs. They set up an experiment by placing eggs in a vinegar solution for three days. A powerpoint lecture emphasizes the structure of...

Here is a fantastic, informative, interactive presentation on plant and animal cells. The PowerPoint is produced by an elementary school teacher who has a doctorate in science, and it shows! This would be a splendid presentation to use...

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.

Teaching young scientists about atoms is no small task, but this series of worksheets will make it a little easier. From creating and labeling Bohr models, to identifying information provided in the periodic table of elements,...

Scientists work every day to find solutions to genetic diseases. Scholars learn about the process of gene sequencing, mutations, and the results. They explore genetic diseases and therapies to intervene and help and, through case...

Students determine the approximate time a cell spends in each phase of mitosis by counting cells in each phase from a prepared slide. They use a few simple calculations to estimate how long cells spend in each cycle in the body.

Using toothpicks, marshmallows, and round colored sticky dots, physical science enthusiasts build models of an atomic nucleus. In this eighth grade chemistry lesson plan, they play an atom-naming game with the models that they have...

Examine the environmental hazards associated with volcanoes with a three-part science lesson. In the pre-lab, first graders learn that gas, landslides, ash, and lava are all hazards that come from volcanoes. They then explore...

A set of first grade geology lessons focuses on plate tectonics and movement of plate boundaries. During the pre-lab, learners experience three types of plate movement through a kinesthetic demonstration. The lab...

In this biology worksheet, students complete 20 fill in the blank questions about eukaryotic cells. They identify the parts and functions of cell organelles.

Students explore the parts of a cell. They identify the structures of plant and animal cells. Students explain the functions of plant and animal cells. They compare and contrast animal cells to plant cells. Students create a model of the...

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.

In this biology worksheet on cells, 9th graders name who the first person was to use the word cell and describe in what materials this person saw cells. Then they determine what instrument uses light and two or more lenses to view cells.

This unit focuses primarily on plate tectonics and plate boundaries surrounding continents. It contains pre- and post-lab sections that walk young geologists through plate movements in order to visualize what's going on inside Earth.

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

In this language arts worksheet, learners analyze a list of 100 nouns which do not follow the usual rule of adding an -s to make a plural. Students fill in the blanks of the chart and make irregular plurals. Example: tooth (teeth).

In this atom worksheet, students read about the structure of the atom including its subatomic particles and John Dalton's theory of the atom. Students also read about the differences between atoms, molecules and compounds. They answer 30...

In this matter and atoms activity, students will fill in the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons for five different atoms. Then students will fill in the blanks of five statements with words from a word bank. Finally, students...

Young scholars examine how traits are passed to offspring.  In this genetic reproduction lesson students develop a model of dna and learn about its structure, replication and function.

Students examine their cheek cells with a compound microscope. They identify different parts of the cell. They compare and contrast animal and plant cells with the microscope as well.

In this aquatic plants and flowers worksheet, students identify and press 3 flowers from aquatic or marshy plants. They describe and identify the parts of the flowers in 2 short answer questions.

Learners create and test a hypothesis about cell division. After observation of Frog Egg cell division, students write obervations and refine process and hypothesis. The use of scientific method, group work and inquiry are fostered by...
