Students observe leaves and their attributes and group them accordingly. In this science observation lesson students gather leaves and use them to become more familiar with seasonal changes and the cycles of our environment. 

Young scholars identify the different objects that orbit Saturn. In this space science lesson, students plot the graph of orbital speed and distance. They explain why planets and asteroids remain in orbit around the sun.

Students discover what types of objects reflect and absorb light. In this science inquiry activity, students use flashlights to determine whether different objects absorb or reflect light.

Learners brainstorm about the different health issues facing teens today. In this health science lesson, students discuss the danger associated with drug abuse. They recommend ways to stay healthy.

Students construct a comet model based on procedure provided. In this space science lesson, students compare the physical properties of comets to the models they made. They record their observations and share them with the class.

Young scholars brainstorm a list of science discoveries and inventions that they think are important. They work in small groups, students examine 1-3 science discoeries more closely. Each group needs a recorder, and they answer three...

Students identify life processes and create their own creature. For this creative science lesson, students identify an organism's life processes and categorize them into groups. They then create their own creature and write about how it...

Students (with a partner) draw and describe a leaf in its natural setting, and then re-find leaves drawn and described by classmates. The point is to have them start to think about observations in science, what to put in a field...

Learners inquire about life science by completing a worksheet in class. In this human sexuality lesson, students define the physical and emotional changes which occur to male and female learners during adolescence and puberty. Students...

In this earth science worksheet, students match 21 hurricane satellite images to their appropriate shape. They also answer 4 short answer questions about hurricane shape classification.

In this earth science instructional activity, students answer 6 questions about the hurricane map and data provided. They create a data table based on the information provided on the map.
