High schoolers practice their reading aloud skills. They examine different careers that focus on public speaking. They also gather new tips to practice when speaking aloud.

Students research the demands or limitations on Earth scientists. In groups, they design and build a model that would be useful to them in the lab or field. They share their model and their ideas behind it to the class and answer any...

Eighth graders discuss series and parallel circuits and design an investigation to test a hypothesis on total resistance of series and parallel circuits in combination. After discussion, groups design their experiments, run tests, and...

In this circuits worksheet, students review how series circuits work, how volts are created, and how resistors effect the voltage. This worksheet has 11 problems to solve and includes the answers.

Students explore how to annotate and align clip art as well as create Powerpoint presentations. In this presentation graphics instructional activity, students expand their IT skills set by completing 4 projects employing clip art and...

In this atomic theory worksheet, students review the observations that led to the conclusion of the atom having a positively charged nucleus. Students compare atomic number and mass number and explain how the discovery of subatomic...

In this cell membranes worksheet, 7th graders study the diagram of the cell membrane cross section. Students label the cross section with the given terms.

In this geological processes worksheet, students use Google Earth to access pictures of the Grand Canyon. Students look at the layering of rock over time. Students complete 2 short answer questions.

Young scholars work in groups to build a robot. In this robotics lesson, students create an electronic robot and program it to follow directions. They create an obstacle course for the robot to follow and test its performance. 

In this conductors and insulators experiment worksheet, students follow the procedures to set up an experiment that tests which common materials are conductors or insulators.

In this circuit instructional activity, students build a circuit simulating a simple computer using light bulbs, breadboards, push pins and more. Students then complete a chart and answer 1 question.

Students create and decorate a boomerang. In this boomerang lesson, students research the history of the boomerang and the three different types. They create their own boomerang and decorate it with a collage of pictures. 

Students investigate how series and parallel circuits work. In this physics lesson, students build their own simple circuits and compare their characteristics. They explain the importance of circuit breakers in household circuits.

Students draw a ship to scale, and calculate the real life size. They show that measurements on the drawingsare annotated with the distances reported in inches (fractions and decimals), and their real-world equivalents

Students design a ship. They calculate square footage and draw their ship to scale. They build models of their ships.

High schoolers examine the amount of radon in their home. They discover how it enters the home and how to properly seal off any route that is allowing radon to seep in. They calculate the amount of ventilation needed in their home to be...

Eighth graders analyze weather diagrams and weather maps. In this earth science lesson, 8th graders explain why it is important to know the weather. They complete a handout at the end of the lesson.

Second graders identify: why the Pilgrims came to America; how they adjusted to life in America; what impact the Native Americans had on the survival of the Pilgrims; and what events brought about the First Thanksgiving.

Fifth graders sing the syllables and pitches of the C major scale, and sing Do - Re - Mi in two-part harmony. They discuss the definition for round and canon, and contrast gamelan music of the Spice Islands with reggae from Jamaica.

Fourth graders identify eleven white substances that are commonly found in the household. They, in pairs, perform experiments on a variety of substances, and must identify them based on the reactions they observe.

Students investigate how the loss of soil, a valuable natural resource, affects their lives through loss of productive land to grow food, loss of coastal land mass, and poor water quality from runoff. They design a project to keep soil...

Students develop procedures in planning and organizing a lesson plan. The plans are used to demonstrate a lesson.

Students examine their home and calculates the amount of ventilation found. They also compute the surface area of different objects. They determine what is needed to reduce the amount of radon entering the home.

Students explore the design process. They discuss why new products are made, examine backscratchers brought in from home and discuss why it is a useful device, and working with a partner draw and construct a backscratcher.
