How do people get sick? Youngsters explore the world of germs and microbes with a lab sheet and science investigation. After identifying the unhygenic practices in a picture of a kitchen, fifth graders conduct an experiment with bread...

Include a lab about alloys and magnets in your fourth grade science lesson. Young scientists read the necessary background knowledge about alloys, then choose which objects (a screw, a bell, scissors, or coins) will be attracted to...

The principles behind pulleys, levers, and simple machines are the focus of a science lesson. In it, learners take part in a whole-class activity. There are two groups of pupils who each must lift objects with fixed pulleys and multiple...

Students analyze and interpret graphs. In this graphing lesson plan, students view a video and construct their own graphs (line, circle, bar) from given sets of data. 

Young scholars use laptops and sensors to measure water quality and graph their results.  In this aquatics lesson students post their results to a website or email. 

In this graphing worksheet, learners read about line, bar, and pie graphs and then determine which graph is the best way to express data results. This worksheet has 3 short answer questions.

Fifth graders practice using the scientific method by observing and creating mold.  In this bacteria instructional activity, 5th graders experiment creating their own mold and fungus using petri dishes and oatmeal.  Students...

Students carry out an experiment to monitor diurnal fluctuations in dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, pH, and water temperature. They determine the CO2 and pH of the samples (and optionally, dissolved oxygen). Students complete their...

In this matter worksheet, students complete a data table by comparing the physical properties of 7 different samples of matter. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

In this alkanes activity, students use a data table to plot a graph of boiling point against the number of carbon atoms. They also define cracking and double bonds. This activity has five short answer questions.

In this graphical representation of data and measures of central tendency worksheet, students calculate mean, median, and mode and answer questions related to graphs, tables, and pictographs.

Young scholars compare weather data and draw conclusions. In this climate change lesson plan, students determine whether data collected over a period of ninety years shows a warming trend. 

In this bluebirds project:  mapping species worksheet, students create a map based on data for bluebirds in their area, then answer 5 questions about the mapping of the species.  This page has numerous links to helpful web...

Students collect weather data over weeks, graph temperature data and compare the temperature data collected with averaged climate data where they live.

Learners experiments with levers to determine if the amount of force needed to lift a load is always the same. In this physics instructional activity, students use Lab-Pro data collector as they experiment with the fulcrum placement to...

Students research water management strategies in Texas. They analyze projected demand for water in the year 2050, interpret graphs and tables and then discuss the data as part of a written report. They research and map the locations of...

Students collect, organize by table, and examine census data in a simulation, estimate the size of the population in the simulation and make predictions based on the collection of census simulation data.

For this salt front of the Hudson River worksheet, 7th graders first read an excerpt about the lower portion of the Hudson River that is an estuary. Then they use a colored pencil to plot salinity data from the table shown on a graph,...

Students explore the concept of climate. They use temperature and precipitation data from their area and other regions to construct climate graphs. These graphs are used to help identify factors that influence climate.

Students use the scientific method to conduct an experiment to test how a ball bounces. In this inquiry-based physical science and scientific method activity, students drop a ball from specified heights and record the rebound, then...

Young scholars explore and analyze the bottom structure of underwater habitats. They describe and explain what can't see through the collection and correlation of accurate data. Learners assess that technology is utilized as a tool for...

Students investigate water column data. In this earth science and seawater lesson, students determine how temperature, salinity, and density have an impact on sea water by viewing and analyzing data obtained from a number of websites....

Students use satellite data to explore sea surface temperature. They explore the relationship between the rotation of the Earth, the path of ocean current and air pressure centers. After studying maps of sea surface temperature and ocean...

Learners identify sources of Food Borne illness and their prevention. They formulate hypotheses based on collected information. Pupils become aware of Nutrintional value of food. Students collected data are synthesized to formulate...
