Young scholars complete a unit on the chemical and technological processes of food preparation. They observe various experiments, describe changes in materials through cooking, identify safety and hygiene issues, and cook various recipes.

Students track and record data on the Sun's position in the sky and on the output of a solar panel tracking the Sun. On a second day, students graph and analyze the data to identify relationships between (1) the time of day, (2) the...

Fourth graders participate in a demonstration lesson using bubbles in which they determine that air fills the bubbles. Next, they work in small groups as they they experiment with the properties of air at separate work stations. After...

Students examine how to conduct simple investigations and use simple equipment to gather data.  In this magnet lesson students decide what types of objects are attracted to magnets. 

Students examine how one of the ways the mining companies extract coal is through the flotation method where air bubbles float coal particles to the top of a solution. The coal is scooped off and separated. They participate in the...

Students examine body systems. In this biology lesson, students explore the roles of different body systems and discover the effects of smoking, drugs, alcohol, exercise, and good nutrition on human body systems.

All of the gas giant's atmospheres consist of hydrogen and helium, the same gases that make up all stars. The third in a series of 22, the activity challenges pupils to make scale models of the interiors of planets in order to...

Students conduct a variety of experiments to see how heat is transferred using common household objects. The teacher uses the safety plans included in the lesson plan. This is ideal for inexperienced Science teachers.

Students extract the DNA from a strawberry. In this DNA technology lesson, students describe what they think DNA looks like. They use a procedure to isolate and extract the DNA from a strawberry.

Students examine the different careers associated with chemistry and see how it is used everyday.  In this forensic lesson students research a chemistry related career and write a presentation to give to the class.

High schoolers perform tests on different chemicals to determine their chemical properties. In this forensic science lesson plan, students identify an unknown sample using its physical and chemical properties. They solve a fictional...

Students engage in a activity that is concerned with the consumption of soft drinks by children. They examine the statistics about the consumption and determine the increase or decrease in individual servings consumed over time. They...

Pupils describe the characteristics of polymers and rubbers and how they improve human lives.  In this shock lesson students build a shock absorbing structure using different polymer materials. 

Students understand there are healthy and not healthy food choices. In this food pyramid lesson, students learn to make healthy choices by playing a traffic light game. Students recognize raw foods from the farm may not be ready for...

Students investigate the effects of acid rain. The lesson contains a lab background for the teacher to use before the implementation of the lesson. They conduct an experiment to collect data and then report the results of the observations.

Students observe an experiment. In this water lesson, students observe as water is changed into vapor. They record their observations by completing a data sheet.

Students experiment to determine if yeast is a microorganism. In this yeast blowup lesson, students mix yeast with other ingredients and observe the results by using a balloon. Students adjust the amounts of the ingredients and test...

Students actively look and listen as their teacher provides transparencies to show how the atmosphere is made up of layers. In this atmosphere lesson plan, students discuss the atmosphere in terms of layers and how gravity pulls...

Students are introduced to wind and wind movement by observing, predicting, and experimenting with simple materials.

Students study chromosomes and how molecular half life affects them.  In this chromosome lesson students complete several lab activities on calculating half life, and cracking alkanes.
