In groups, students create their own scientific impact experiments using ordinary materials, and observe and measure results with a variety of impacting bodies and velocities.

Students evaluate their current food choices. In this health science lesson plan, students test different drinks to rate the amount of Vitamin C content. They discuss results in class.

Students determine the monotonicity and concavity properties of a function, then apply the First Derivative Test and draw conclusions about the first and second derivatives from these properties.

Fifth graders describe the physical features of an owl and identify survival adaptations. They Investigate an owl's niche in an ecosystem. The students participate in an interactive puzzle on the internet that helps for motivation.

Learners study the use of X-ray data to make size and energy estimates of the source and the processes occurring there. They use XTE observations of the object GRO 1744-28 to determine whether bursts occur periodically and the duration...

In this literacy activity, students find the words that are related to the concept that is the theme of the word search puzzle.

Students define what a redox reaction is. In this chemistry lesson plan, students electroplate some wires in the lab. They research the application of electroplating in the real world.

Eighth graders identify the three main types of chemical bonds. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders draw Lewis dot diagrams of elements and determine the bond formed. They create a model water molecule.

Eighth graders identify the living and nonliving components of an ecosystem. In this ecology activity, 8th graders explain the role each organism plays. They participate in class discussion and answer a quiz at the end of the activity.

Eighth graders identify the different kinds of biomes. In this life science lesson, 8th graders explain their importance in an ecosystem. They take a BrainPop quiz at the end of the lesson..

Eighth graders identify different types of adaptation in organisms. In this biology instructional activity, 8th graders explain how adaptation help organisms survive. They complete a worksheet at the end of the instructional activity.

In this science-themed literacy lesson, students read for and differentiate between qualitative and quantitative information.

In this chemistry lab, students will investigate chemical changes that occur when acids and bases react. It is meant to introduce the concepts of chemical changes, gases have mass, conservation of mass, and balancing equations. Students...
