Students analyze the art and architecture projects of Frederick Kiesler. In this architecture analysis lesson, students read and study images the endless house project. Students complete discussion activities and questions for...

Seventh graders create an alternative self-portrait. In this art lesson students study the artwork of Jaune Quick-to-See Smith. Students use her work as inspiration for a self-portrait in a jar form.

Eighth graders explore the art pieces found in the Missoula Art Museum. For this lesson, 8th graders select two pieces of art from the coyote section by going to the Missoula Art Museum website, and then create a collage portrait from...

In this DNA instructional activity, students identify the different parts of the DNA and color them. They complete 16 short answer and fill in the blank questions on DNA.

Students will explain the importance of soybeans. In this science lesson, students participate in making a "beanie baby" necklace. Additionally, students observe their soybeans for germination and growth for 7-10 days. Students record...

Learners define bioplastics and identify its uses.  In this bioplastics lesson, students compare and contrast styrofoam to starch peanuts after careful examination.  Learners understand what biodegradeable means.

Students make prints without a printing press. In this printmaking lesson, students make a monoprint by drawing a picture with washable markers, briefly submerging the paper under water, and pressing it onto a new sheet.

Students conduct a variety of experiments to explore gel electrophoresis. In this biology lesson, explain how this process separate DNA and RNA. They discuss the practical applications of this method.

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...

Middle schoolers compare various brands of floor polishes and test their durability and appearance.  In this floor polish lesson students test different polishes and check performance. 

Students determine the contact angle of water on different surfaces. In this physics lesson, students calculate their percent error using a mathematical formula. They explain the advantages of using non-wetting surface for certain...

Five pages take biologists on a generalized survey of the origin of life. Queries are made regarding theories of how life developed, ancient Earth conditions, and the ever-changing field of taxonomy. The experiments of different...

Learners drop a variety of objects from a jungle gym to explore how different shapes, sizes, and masses relate to forces and motion.

Pupils investigate the integrity and strength of different types of food wraps. They test the wraps and create a graphic organizer for the data. Once it is organized then a lab report can be written. The lesson contains background...

Pupils test the adhesive properties of different sticky tapes. In this chemistry lesson plan, students collect data from the experiment by measuring how far the marble rolls down the track. They share their findings to the class.

Young scholars investigate the adhesive properties of different "glues." In this science instructional activity, discover how the surface of a substance affects stickiness. They record data and share their findings in class.

Students differentiate reflection and refraction. In this physics lesson, students perform a series of experiment on light behavior. They decipher the secret message provided by teacher.

Pupils differentiate transparent and translucent. In this physics activity, students design an experiment to determine which material is more effective in heating container using solar energy. They collect data and share results to...

Students investigate how effective sunscreens and blocking devices are in blocking UV. In this physics lesson, students collect and graph their data from the experiment. They explain the harmful effects of UV radiation to everything...

Learners classify items according to their physical properties. For this chemistry lesson, students define what matter is in their own words. They use the matter diagram to organize different substances.

Students explain how static electricity is produced. In this electricity lesson, students design an experiment to reduce static electricity. They share and discuss findings in class.

Students calculate the surface area of a room. In this math lesson, students estimate the cost to paint the walls. After watching the video, they compare traditional procedure of painting walls to new technology.

Learners explain what density is in their own words. In this physics lesson plan, students perform the condiment experiment and explain why some float and some sink. They share their findings in class.
