In this flatworm activity, students observe a flatworm in a petri dish. Students describe the flatwork and measure the planarian. Students complete the various charts about the movement and observations of the planarian.

For this statistics worksheet, students view 6 graphs to determine the correlation. Students then answer 4 questions that involve plotting data, determining a relationship, and making predictions.

Students explore several images of Earth from space. They identify parts of deltas. They observe, label, and measure delta images, taken from space. They consider how deltas form and why they differ in shape.

Students compare their unknown serum against a set of known serum standards and determine the animal source of their serum. They write a lab report to communicate their results.

Students use scientific methods to investigate the effects of overpopulation of seed plants on growth in a limited living space. Students relate seed plant population findings to that of other organisms.

Students research the aurora. In this aurora lesson, students participate in a webquest about the aurora. Webquest worksheet is included.

Students use simple machines that demonstrate force, friction, work and power. They investigate and explain simple machines.

High schoolers examine why diffusion and osmosis happen in an egg cell.  In this diffusion lesson students demonstrate a semi permeable membrane.

Young scholars explore climate regions. In this climate lesson, students examine the climate regions of Alaska as well as the state of Hawaii. Young scholars research selected Internet sources to gather information regarding the climates...

Eighth graders investigate what would happen to the length of a rubber band as more and more rings were hung on it. They base their explanation on what they observed, and as they develop cognitive skills, they should be able to...

Students write a paragraph (complete sentences) which explains what they did in the lab.

Students perform a simulation in which they work for a toy company and have to figure out how many marbles of different sizes can be made with the provided material. They must design their own experiment to figure this out.

Students study a can opener to find the important parts that make it possible to take the lid off a can of food. They then use this information to decide what new or different subsystems could be added to make it better and explain how...

Eighth graders determine the location of specific features of the stimulated ocean floor. The features include the continental shelf, continental slope, an ocean trench, and a mid-oceaniz ridge.

Students listen to a read aloud of Eric Carle's, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, as an introduction to their study of the metamorphosis of a butterfly. They participate in a number of cross-curricular activities in this unit of lessons.

Students work in small groups with a small set of 8 nuts and 5 bolts to assemble into combinations of 1 nut: 1 bolt, and 2 nuts: 1 bolt. They explore the outcome and discuss. Then a student mixes two clear, colorless solutions together...

Pupils explore temperature and use Celcius thermometers to measure and graph the temperature in the classroom daily. They estimate what they think the temperature might be and then find the actual temperature in the room.

Fifth graders study the effects of mass on gravity. For this gravity lesson, 5th graders make model parachutes and helicopters in order to apply the scientific process and find out the effects of mass on drops of the 2 objects.

Sixth graders create a PowerPoint presentation using information that they have compiled from their web search and rubric web sites, text and other applicable references. They work in pairs to complete these searches and projects.

Seventh graders study the cause of climate change, and how clouds form and affect weather. They define condensation and precipitation, the greenhouse effect and the water cycle.

Students inspect a given problem and come up with a hypothesis. In this investigative lesson plan students come up with a hypothesis for a problem, test each hypothesis and evaluate how successful each one was. 

Sixth graders examine the factors that influence the stability of ecosystems. They construct a miniature ecosystem in a jar that includes plants, small fish, and snails, record the population changes over a period of four weeks, and...

Learners explore how to show evidence of subshells and electron filling on the visual scale. They examine subshell filling and evaluate unknowns based on the atomic emission spectrum. Students design an experiment to identify colors of...

Fifth graders observe six simple machines. Through student demonstration they define work and force and calculate the work done. They identify the utility of each of the six simple machines and how each one "exchanges" force for...
