Where does all the heat go when the sun goes down? An interesting lesson has learners explore this question by monitoring the infrared radiation emitted over time. They learn that hot spots cool more quickly that cooler spots.

What better way to learn about colors than by coloring? Starting with the primary colors, young artists follow written prompts to shade in various rectangles and a color wheel to show complementary colors, tints and shades, and more.

Holidays are less stressful if we know what to expect. Here's a social skills story that prepares learners with autism for the change in routines that holidays bring.

Ready to apply the concepts related to the natural exponential equations and logarithmic equations? A math lesson reviews concepts from inverse properties to solving to derivatives and integrals. 

Commercial advertising—we can't get away from it, but do we realize just how often we are being advertised to? With this lesson plan, scholars analyze mass media to identify how its techniques influence our daily lives. Learners browse...

Should primary graders have their own computers? Should animals be kept in captivity? Young writers learn how to develop and support a claim in this short unit on persuasive writing.

In this reading comprehension worksheet, students read five paragraphs about the science of rainbows. Students then answer several questions about the reading.

Learners learn fundamentals about color perception, and explain the phenomenon called "metamerism". Students learn the three basic components of color perception: light source, illuminated colored object, and the light detector.

In this lenses worksheet, students will explain how microscopes work by completing 4 short answer questions. Kids will compare refracting telescopes with reflecting telescopes by writing the terms given under the correct column. Then...

Students calculate the amount of solar radiation hitting the ground at their school compared to the solar constant. They also repeat the experiment at a water testing site and utilize a light probe to measure the light being reflected...

Students discover how remote sensing is used to identify the signatures of life even when the particular life form is not directly observable. They investigate how a satellite "sees" objects on the surface of Earth.

Learners create spectral colors. In this hands-on science lesson, students examine the electromagnetic spectrum as they follow steps to create a model that separates and displays light.

Students observe the interactions of chlorophyll and light. They develop and form their own testable hypotheses. Students predict the color of chlorophyll in various types of plants.

Students see that solar energy is the energy given off by the sun. They explain that when light energy is absorbed by objects it is changed to heat energy and that dark-colored objects absorb more light and store more heat from sunlight.

Learners investigate solar energy. In this solar energy lesson, students compare how heat is absorbed in light-colored objects and dark-colored objects by making S'mores.

Students cook with the power of the sun. In this solar energy lesson, students explore solar cooking as they apply scientific principles to cook s'mores.

Students explain how eyes function, how to prevent eye problems, the types of refractive errors, and the common low vision and eye disease problems. They receive professional development points upon successful completion of an assessment.

Learners identify different color models and the application of the color theory. They create different visualizations that compare color models.

Students examine the art of Edward Ruscha and make a three-dimensional model of a single word. They explore shading and value, and create a drawing of the model. They render ribbon strip letters in varied values to show 3-D quality.

Students classify materials. In this chemistry lesson, students examine the properties of solids, liquids, and gases. Students discover the elements, compounds, and chemical symbols.

Students study the basic elements and concepts of the visual art's perceptual component - such as shape, line and color. They create tessellations that foster problem solving and reflective thinking.

Students commonly ask question about vision and color perception which may be difficult to answer without taking. They use this module that contains a list of questions which often arise when biology students are studying the nervous...

Students investigate the accumulation of drugs in the body. In this algebra lesson, students collect data on drug retention and assimilation. They use their data to predict the behavior and effects of drugs.

First graders discuss why the moon appears to change shape. They use flashlights and balls to simulate the sun's light shining on the moon during its different phases. They read books, paint pictures and write sentences about the moon.
