Young scholars pick a tree they see everyday. They measure the tree's circumference and estimate its height using similar triangles. Students are introduced to Computational Science. They use computers and calculators to compute...

Second graders observe images of prairie ecosystems and discuss the needs of living things. They create a prairie habitat in a closed jar to observe the water cycle and plant growth.

Young scholars create a compost cake. In this gardening and decomposition science instructional activity, students review and describe the "nutrient cycle." Young scholars create a compost pile, measure and record the dimensions and...

High schoolers conduct a series of experiments to investigate density, buoyancy and climate. For this math lesson, pupils design and build a hot air balloon to demonstrate convection. They research and write a paper about solar chimneys.

How do you get a theorem named after you? Euler knows what it takes! The third lesson of five asks pupils to use an interactive activity to compare the faces, vertices, and edges of seven different three-dimensional solids. They use...

Pupils measure and record their height in centimeters on a graph. By integrating math and science, students collect data and apply graphing skills to the experiences they are having growing plants. Finally, pupils identify how to...

Students investigate the motion of water currents by mapping the possible movement of messages cast into the ocean in bottles.They accurately plot the appearance of bottles on a world map and illustrate the flow of an ocean current...
