Students take samples of local trees and identify the tree using a field guide. They keep data for the tree on the Tree ID sheet. They create leaf, seed, bark, and flower prints and paint them.

In this heat of formation worksheet, students determine the heat of formation for magnesium by combining 3 given reactions and using Hess's Law. Students then complete a data calculations chart for each reaction.

In this exothermic reactions worksheet, students read about how commercial hot meals are heated through the use of exothermic reactions. They graph data of temperature and time elapsed for hot meals and answer two questions about the graph.

Students research environmental data to create a bar graph. In this agricultural ecology lesson, students research the pros and cons of chemical use in farming. Students debate on passing a law to reduce chemical use.

Students record data, make observations, and share in experimentation and discussion of numerical experiments.

Eighth graders record the temperature change of the beakers. In this general science lesson, 8th graders create their own data table for recording observations. They discuss experimental results and cite real life applications.

Young scholars conduct an experiment to determine the distance between touch receptor fields in parts of the right-hand side of the body. They enter data into the data table.

Middle schoolers practice determining liquid densities in a short, hands-on lab activity. Students use a graduated cylinder to measure out 100 milliliters of a liquid, find its mass using a balance, and record measurements in a data...

In this radiation worksheet, students use a data table to determine what kind of radiation is being emitted by unknown sources. This worksheet has 3 problems to solve.

Students investigate a possible health problem in the local school district through inquiry into attendance records, activities, maps, graphs, and data tables. The simulation continues as solutions for the problem are sought.

In this population instructional activity, students will use a table with information about the birth rates and death rates from different countries around the world to complete 4 short answer questions.

Future engineers test different alloys to determine the specific strength of each one. Based on the results, they make a recommendation to NASA on which alloy to use on engines for spacecraft.

Oceans absorb half of the carbon dioxide and 80 percent of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Scholars learn how and why the oceans store heat more effectively than land and how they help mitigate global warming. Pupils...

First in a two-part lesson on the greenhouse effect, this lesson involves a classroom demonstration of the phenomenon, and a lab group experiment with color and absorption. Although there are easier ways to demonstrate the greenhouse...

Many people confuse atomic mass and atomic numbers. The sixth of seven lessons in a unit requires scholars to find the weight of different groups of pennies. Then, they must solve how many of each type of penny exists in a closed system...

Acid-base indicators are an essential part of any chemistry classroom. Individuals explore the color-changing feature of the important indicators in a vibrant hands-on activity. Using serial dilution, learners create solutions ranging...

Genetic variation shows the health of a population, yet cheetahs show very little variation over that last 10,000 years. Scholars learn the importance of genetic variation in populations after viewing an informative presentation. It...

In this environmental science worksheet, students read and study water maps from an interactive website to complete 8 short answer questions that follow.

Students explore mechanical friction. They perform experiments to observe the direction of mechanical motion and the difference between rolling and sliding friction. Data results on the experiments are recorded and students answer...

Students investigate what a controlled group is by creating an experiment.  In this plant growth instructional activity, students identify the different parts of a plant and discuss what is needed for a plant to be successfully...

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

Students explore sunspots and then graph them to analyze the data.  In this sunspot cycles lesson students complete an activity sheet and complete questions. 

Students examine natural climate fluctuations of the Earth and compare climate change in last 100 years to earlier climate changes. From this data students will begin to define current issues related to global warming.

Students discuss and view examples of acceleration. They work together to determine acceleration rates in two ways. They analyze their data and discuss.
