Students learn to understand the role of both skeletons and exoskeletons. In this lesson on exoskeletons, students locate and label bones on diagram of a human skeleton, and observe and discuss bones of chicken and fish. Students then...

Students investigate how different types of objects act as thermal insulators. In this online lesson plan, students hypothesize how particular objects act as insulators and then complete the online activity to determine which materials...

Students identify how the pitch and the loudness of an instrument can be altered. In this online science of sound lesson, students employ the use of an interactive whiteboard to examine the loudness and pitch of a guitar, drum, and...

Students investigate the cooling and heating of water. For this online science experiment lesson, students work in groups to make predictions regarding freezing and boiling points and then test those predictions as they complete the...

Young scholars explain that when a beam of light is reflected from its surface, it changes direction. In this virtual science experiment lesson plan, students complete an activity that requires them to investigate how flat mirrors...

Students explore plants and recognize that they are living things that require light and water to grow. In this online plant biology lesson, students identify, name and match the parts of plants. Extension activities and suggested...

Students investigate gases and liquids. For this states of matter online lesson, students examine how evaporation plays a part in the transition of liquids into gases as they watch a kettle of water boil and then work in small groups on...

Students identify and explain the parts of a flower and their role in the life cycle of flowering plants. For this online plant biology lesson, students explore the processes of pollination, seed dispersal, and germination. Extension...

Students identify healthy foods. In this nutrition lesson, students review the five food groups and categorize healthy and unhealthy foods on a chart. Students develop their own menus.

Young scholars describe and compare common properties of various classroom materials. In this science/matter lesson, students observe common classroom items and the materials they are made of to complete a list of common properties.

Young scholars discuss micro-organisms. In this micro-organisms lesson, students identify which micro-organisms are harmful and which ones are beneficial. Young scholars complete a worksheet which is included in the lesson.

Students compare and contrast where friction occurs in robots and bicycles. In this science lesson, students label the diagram of bicycle and robots. They investigate how friction affects their different parts.

Students explore the different types of magnets and their common uses.  In this magnets instructional activity students create their own magnets. 

Sixth graders identify air pressure and how it affects objects. They experiment with one hard boiled egg in a bottle and the affects of air pressure on the egg.

In this science experiment worksheet, students mix borax, custard powder (pudding mix?), glue and water to make a bouncy ball. Students carry out bouncing and stretching investigations.

Students explore magnetic attraction. For this magnets lesson, students participate in an interactive whiteboard activity in which objects are dragged onto a virtual table and categorized as to whether they are "repelled" or "attracted"...

Pupils use an online interactive to launch a rocket from earth. They have control over the angle and thrust of the rocket to discover the relationship between the two.

Students will work in small groups, observing an ice cube and recording a description, the feel of the ice, and how it looks when put in another container. Students observe changes in the ice over 15 minute intervals, then freeze the...

Students explore migration and why people move. They explore the movement of native populations. Students explore the economy as an factor in migration. They discuss the exploitation of the migrant worker.

Students see the difference between weight and mass when they examine the method of measuring each of them.

Seventh graders progress through the Science Court: Gravity CD-ROM program. They read about and discuss how gravity was discovered. They complete review worksheets in preparation for the test.

Students explore simple machines and demonstrate thier acquired understanding by building a simple machine.

Young scholars use a website to name and compare external body parts of humans and other animals.

Students use a website to help them recognize that sound is generated in a variety of ways and from different sources. They determine that sounds vary in tone and loudness, and learn there are different ways to describe sound.
