Students read Bartholomew and the OObleck by Dr. Seuss and experiment with solids and liquids.  In this science and reading instructional activity, students observe and discuss the properties of liquids and solids.  Students...

Fourth graders follow the scientific lesson to investigate flavor.  In this scientific method lesson, 4th graders conduct a flavor test with mislabeled Tootsie Pops.  Students record their experiment.

Learners experiment with turbidity in water. In this turbidity lesson, students get a glass of water and shine a light through it to see how the light reflects. They slowly add dirt and shine the light to show how the dirt affects it...

Spur a discussion of germs using this lesson. Learners conduct an experiment with potatoes to determine how germs are transmitted. They then discuss ways to prevent the spread of germs. The emphasis is on hand washing.

Students perform experiments on a Promethean Board and will identify and use stages of the inquiry process. Students will be in instructed in the use of a Promethean board, will practice and eventually perform experiment on their own.

In this science experiments and measurements worksheet, learners answer 6 questions about experimenting, SI units, and conversions. They convert 6 measurements from one metric unit to another.

In this science experiment with light worksheet, students explore what shadows can be created with the use of different colored bulbs and flashlights.

Students investigate how knowledge of science influences people in their daily lives, specifically in their careers. Students conduct interviews with an individual in a science or technology career as part of their research on the impact...

Some scientists argue that air pollution now causes more deaths than smoking. The second unit in a six-part series focuses on air quality. Scholars learn what's in the air, how clean the air around their school is, and what they can do...

The United States is the world's largest producer of biofuel. During an in-class investigation, young scientists produce their own biodiesel. They burn a sample of it to determine the heat of combustion. Then they discuss the...

Couches, carpets, and even computer keyboards now advertise they are spill-resistant, but what does that mean? Scholars use physical and chemical methods to coat surfaces with thin films to test their hydrophobic properties. Then they...

Students discuss the effects of earthquakes. In this earth science lesson, students create earthquake models and earthquake-proof buildings. They construct their own seismograph.

In this science worksheet, middle schoolers concentrate on attaining new knowledge of the science standard using the creative medium of games and puzzles.

In this nature of science and measurement learning exercise, students answer 30 questions about experimental design, pure science vs. applied science, density, metric conversions and dimensional analysis.

In this nature of science worksheet, students identify four statements as "pure" or "applied" science and they read a short story about an experiment performed by a boy. They identify various components of the experiment...

Fifth graders recognize the need to follow the scientific method carefully and be aware of variables in experiments.  For this airplane lesson, 5th graders design and test an airplane, and complete a data sheet. Students retest five...

High schoolers conduct a series of experiment on incandescent and fluorescent bulbs. In this physics lesson, students explain how they operate. They compare the efficiency and power rating of both bulbs.

Students work together to design an experiment. They discover the origin of a family artifact. They analyze the data and discuss the results. They determine if the experiment is the best way to find out this type of information.

Fifth graders conduct flight experiments.  In this uplifting experience lesson, 5th graders build an airfoil and place in a variety of conditions to observe the results of lift and force in flight, as well as angle of attack....

Students participate in a science experiment to understand that matter takes up space.  In this matter lesson, students experiment with solids, liquids and gases to recognize that matter is everywhere. Students make observations and...

Ninth graders conduct experiments to determine what affects the rate of a pendulum's swing. Working in small groups, they identify an independent variable to study and create an experiment to test their hypothesis. When tests are...

Students explore physical science by conducting a plant experiment. In this scientific method lesson, students discuss questions scientists ask in order to properly explore certain subjects. Students utilize two plants and place one in...

Young scholars participate in a science lesson that integrates connections between health issues on Earth and how those issues are related to studies conducted on the International Space Station. T

A multicultural science lesson plan, students read a brief biography of Ernest Just and create a talk show in which they will perform an experiment after Just's work. With this lesson plan, students are taught to appreciate the...
