Students discuss a video about drug and alcohol abuse and their connection to risk-taking. They answer questions on a risk factor sheet about the use of tobacco, drugs, and alcohol. They discuss long and short term goals and how not...

Learners discuss skyscrapers and listen as the teacher introduces the project. They use the Internet to perform research on one skyscraper. Students use information they gather to create a brochure of their building . They create an...

Students review and use the steps in the scientific method to complete the experiment. In groups, they research the importance of water to plants and animals in their local area. They examine how water can become contaminated and take...

In this Kelvin scale worksheet, students read about the relationship between the Celsius scale and the Kelvin scale. They are given the equations to convert from one scale to the other. They find the equivalents for temperatures measured...

In this ideal gas worksheet, learners read about the conditions necessary for an ideal gas to exist. They also read about the deviations from the ideal gas situation and answer four questions about ideal gases.

Eighth graders examine different solutions.  In this solution material instructional activity students complete a lab activity and several worksheets. 

Students create videos about an element on the periodic table. In this element lesson, students work with partners to create a 1-2 minute video giving interesting information about their element. They include the name, symbol, atomic...

Fifth graders compare physical and chemical changes. They perform a simulation experiment/activity that replicates what happens in the stomach as food is digested by stomach acids.

Students explore physical and chemical changes. For this chemistry lesson plan, students will go outside to observe changes seen in nature. Students will then work in the lab to identify changes at different stations prior to doing a...

Students turn solid water (ice) into liquid water. In this solid and liquid water lesson plan, students use water, ice, cups, and heat in order to change water from one state to another. They draw their findings as well.

In this nuclear reaction worksheet, students determine the missing particle from the reaction and then name that particle. This worksheet has 18 problems to solve.

Eighth graders demonstrate how scientific principles can be used to provide resources in an emergency situation.  In this evaporation lesson students view a demonstration on a solar still and see a brief PowerPoint presentation. 

Young scholars explore what black holes are and how gravity is associated with them.  In this space lesson students are given enough information to imagine a journey to a black hole. 

Students explore human growth and development as they participate in class activities, reading and discussion. Worksheet and handouts are included in the lesson.

Fourth graders observe Moon and its features, and record results both in written form and in a drawing on the given template.

Students investigate migration issues. In this global studies lesson plan, students examine photographs that feature migrants from Canary Island and their movement to Spain by smugglers. Students view a PowerPoint presentation and...

Students study about chromatography, a process used to separate mixtures. They see that chromatography is used to detect, separate or purify different substances. This nice instructional activity results in a beautiful t-shirt for each...

Fourth graders, in groups, examine how particles in warm water move faster than particles in cold water.

Students explore protein purification by separating a positively charged molecule, lysozyme, from a negatively charged molecule, albumin, at neutral pH using ion exchange chromatography.

Learn about the three phases of matter, and how the addition and removal of thermal energy (also known as heat) affects them.

Using simulations observe what solids, liquids, and gases look like at the atomic scale. After observing the different states of matter at their atomic level, students will be able to conclude about the forces and attractions that exist...

After watching this simulation, students will be able to describe characteristics of the three states of matter. They will watch as atoms and molecules change between solid, liquid and gas phases.

An interactive simulation will heat, cool and compress atoms and molecules. Watch as they change between solid, liquid and gas phases. Recognize that different substances have different properties which will affect the temperatures for...

Watch different types of molecules form a solid, liquid, or gas. Add or remove heat and watch the phase change. Change the temperature or volume of a container and see a pressure-temperature diagram respond in real time. Relate the...
