Fourth graders watch a video about the types of products made from oil or oil used as energy to produce the product. In groups, they identify the positive and negative aspects of oil and participate in various activities. They use the...

Students examine the types of earthquakes that occur in Idaho. In groups, they compare and contrast the types of energy released and how they affect the movement of the Earth. To end the lesson, they analyze a map showing the magnitudes...

In this nutrition worksheet, students describe what nutrient is and how the energy it has is measured. Then they explain what is meant by interconversion of molecules. Students also list the common vitamins and mineral required by the...

Students explore nutrition. In this science lesson plan, students identify and describe the main nutrients in our diets that are needed by the body as a source of energy.

Students learn fundamentals about color perception, and explain the phenomenon called "metamerism". Students learn the three basic components of color perception: light source, illuminated colored object, and the light detector.

Fourth graders will explore our solar system. In this physics lesson students create a model of the solar system to explore the movement of Earth, the Sun, and stars.

Third graders investigate nutrition by researching rice.  In this food instructional activity, 3rd graders read about the healthy aspects of rice and how many people in the world eat it.  Students read nutrition labels and...

Students research rainforest animals and use that information to make a flow chart to show the order in which energy is transferred through several organisms. They label the producers, consumers, and decomposers in their chart.

Students create spectral colors. In this hands-on science lesson, students examine the electromagnetic spectrum as they follow steps to create a model that separates and displays light.

Students examine how carnivorous plants get their nutrients from animals.  In this food web lesson students examine how the plants attract their prey and are given many onilne sources to research.

Young scholars are introduced to the reflective properties of light and use mirrors to make light from a source reflect onto a specific target. They take turns and record the amount of time it took to correctly reflect the light.

Learners look into the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In this chemistry lesson, students look at the hydrocarbon molecule through a model and see what happens when energy is released. They watch as the water vapor leaves...

Students examine how food provides them with energy and materials for their body. In groups, they identify good and bad foods to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Using the internet, they research how food can affect their overall health.

Students explore Earth's seasons using an interactive website. In this earth science lesson, students watch video segments and explain Earth's seasonal milestones. They discuss the factors that causes seasonal changes.

Sixth graders observe, describe, and classify microorganisms found in water sources. In small groups, they make their own slide, observe the Protozoa under a microscope, and record and classify the microorganisms.

Fifth graders conclude that each color of the spectrum has a different amount of thermal energy by measuring temperature with a thermometer. They infer that there is an invisible band of the spectrum by measuring temperature beyond the...
