Students describe the role of density in driving deep ocean currents and the density layers of the ocean. They determine that the ocean is one continuous body of water with global currents that interact, with water surrounding all...

Students determine the mass of various objects. In this integrated math and science lesson, students use an arm balance to compare a known object to a combination of washers with a fixed weight. Students record data, construct a bar...

Young scholars discover a sense of community by examining Post Office murals located in cities and small towns throughout the United States. They explore the significance of the murals by contacting and communicating with local...

Upper elementary scientists learn that observations made can lead to inferences. They rotate through six weather-related stations that challenge them to make observations and then draw inferences from their observations. A...

Students utilize satellite images to track the life cycle of vegetational growth over a large area. Animal migratory patterns are compared to this cycle.

In this SI prefixes and mass worksheet, learners are given measurements of mass and they covert to the given measurement by moving the decimal the proper number of places to the left or right.

Students describe how the mass of a radioactive isotope changes with time and the factors that affect the rate of radioactive decay. They write nuclear decay equations to represent natural transmutation. This activity is accomplished...

In this biology worksheet, students look for the answers to how to classify animals. They specifically focus upon the vertebrates while differentiating the characteristics from other organisms.

In this percent composition worksheet, students carry out an experiment to determine the percent of zinc in a penny. They write a balanced equation for the chemical reaction they performed with the penny and hydrochloric acid.

In this molarity lab instructional activity, learners write down the process they took to determine the molarity of a given sample of a solution of salt. They also make two particular molar solutions in the lab and show their...

Students examine how we use submersibles. In this technology based lesson, students examine various technologies used by submersibles in ocean exploration.

Students access the Internet to record data on weather. They use email to answer a younger classes' questions about the weather.

Students use a balance and gram cubes to measure several different objects. They then record their results on a data chart and answer questions about them.

Fifth graders conduct experiments to compare seed germination and plant growth rates. They construct a hydroponic plant unit and a lighthouse. They care for the plants for a month and collect data for graphs. They write a report.

In this peanut lab, students examine 10 different peanuts and take a variety of measurements. Using their measurements they answer 3 analysis questions.
