Young scholars research the different satellites and their uses.  In this satellite lesson students study the different job roles in the development of satellites and web pages.

Pupils explore the causes of earthquakes and the impact they have on the geology of an area.  In this geology activity students view video footage of earthquakes, get into groups and study plate tectonics. 

Students explore different scientists throughout history.  In this scientists and culture lesson students research using the Internet and complete a handout. 

Students examine environments and how the impacts human activities can cause.  In this environmental change lesson plan students research how human activity is causing local  environmental changes. 

Students explore how astronauts might measure distances in space.  In this timeline lesson students create a timeline and then demonstrate the concept "distance in space equals distance in time."

Students explore an idea about the history of human knowledge of the universe and understand the process of scientific exploration.  In this scientific exploration lesson students contemplate the state of astronomy and future...

Students examine the properties of minerals and show examples of the functions.  For this minerals lesson students create models of different minerals.

Students study the role that technology has played in designing spacecrafts.  For this science and technology lesson students view a video and complete a lab activity. 

Students examine how seasons occur and explore how the different angles effect surface heating.  In this climate instructional activity students interpret satellite maps of the world that show seasonal differences in plant life. 

Students identify methods for detecting and locating earthquakes and analyzing seismic data.  For this earthquake lesson students simulate the action of P and S waves. 

Students investigate the developing theories towards a heliocentric models of the solar system.  In this science based activity students explore how science theories change over time based on evidence. Students view...

Students study Earth's features and their local environments. In this Earth's features lesson, students take a field trip to observe a natural environment and students sketch their observations of the nature. Students watch videos about...

Learners study glaciers and their terminology.  In this investigative lesson students get into groups and watch the life cycle of a glacier on a web site then answer questions.  They will then use play dough to show how...

Middle schoolers design, build and test a device to store headphones without tangling the wires. In this engineering lesson, students view web videos and documents about the design process. They work in groups to brainstorm, research,...

Students study how the mouth structures of animal show their adaptation. In this animal mouth structure lesson, students look at images of bird and animal mouths as they are feeding focusing on the shape of each. They watch a movie that...

High schoolers examine bird anatomy and explain bird intelligence.  In this animal behavior lesson students research the Internet on bird behavior and work in groups to complete a challenge. 

Students examine the coral reef ecosystem and learn how the living and non-living parts interact.  In this coral reef lesson students view video on coral reefs then create a fictional ecosystem.

Young scholars study DNA fingerprinting and how it is used in criminal investigations.  In this DNA lesson students interpret DNA fingerprints, explore the uses for fingerprinting and see the limitations of DNA testing. 

Students explore hearing.  In this hearing and sound instructional activity, students participate in a scientific inquiry to compare ear shape and hearing ability.  Students work with a partner to listen to soft music and use...

Students explore the process of inventing. In this hands on instructional activity students match current day inventions with similar inventions from the past.

Learners explore how scientists use fossils to explore how various species have evolved over time.  In this fossil instructional activity students study how to date fossils. 

Students examine the term natural selection and what behavioral adaptations are.  In this evolution lesson students view videos about evolution and perform experiments that simulate populations that interplay between the forces of...

Pupils examine fossils in order to study humans and how humans evolved over time.  In this human evolution lesson students examine different genetic relationships between humans and other species.

Students explore inheritance patterns of diseases. For this genetic lesson, students explain how recessive genes may cause human disorders. They identify and research five genetic disorders and present their findings to the class.
