Young scholars explore the scientific career of Benjamin Franklin. For this science lesson, students discuss Franklin's correspondence with other scientists and write letters describing Benjamin Franklin's experiments.

Students study Benjamin Franklin including who he was, what he invented and his experiment.  In this inventive lesson plan students follow the steps of Ben Franklin and build a Leyden jar.

Students explore the climate and food sources of Ghana.  In this lesson on climate students view diagrams of global convection and complete a convection experiment.

Students observe solar energy at work. In this science lesson, students watch two bottles, painted black and white, sit in the heat with balloons on the mouth of the bottles. They observe and discuss why the balloon of the black bottle...

Students are able to design and conduct an experiment related to electrical generation. They are able to list the factors that affect the amount of current that can be generated by a simple generator, such as the number of turns of...

Twelfth graders display simple machines through the use of graphics, experiments, and animation. They apply problem solving and design and skills.

Students observe a planaria without a microscope and with a stereoscopic microscope. They draw the planaria and describe its motion and eating habits. Students research planarias various body systems and behavior. They design an...

Students explore basic principles of seasonal change, ponder the mechanisms that drive these changes, and perform experiments that show what causes the earth to heat differently during different seasons.

Students perform experiments measuring water pressure. They record their observations after poking holes in plastic bottles filled with water with the lids on and then off. They discover the role gravity plays in the water flow.

Fifth graders record at least four hypotheses concerning what happens when they drop an egg from a high spot. They record at least five observations or supporting ideas about the egg drop. Students test gravity by dropping an egg from a...

In this student-designed experiment worksheet, learners decide on an experimental problem to solve. Students use the scientific method to perform an experiment and record the data. Learners calculate the density of liquid used in the...

Learners access prior knowledge of the circulatory system.  In this circulatory system instructional activity, students participate in experiments related to the circulatory system and  film for a podcast. Learners work in...

Students investigate matter:solid, liquid, gas by conducting different experiments. In this states of matter lesson, students conduct hands on activities that allow students to see first hand results. Students mix...

In this speed and experiments worksheet, students read about how to calculate the speed by using the change in distance divided by the change in time. They also read about experimental design and scientific method. Students match 5 terms...

Students hatch brine shrimp in a classroom experiment. In this hatching brine shrimp lesson, students participate in two-week lab in which they study how brine shrimp hatch under different conditions. They record data about the control...

Fifth graders complete four different experiments in classroom stations to investigate how magnets attract and repel.

Students analyze the basic techniques used to find and produce oil. They also create a small project that allows them experiment with solutions to maximize the amount of colorless liquid produced from colored solutions.

Students conduct a number of simple experiments, collect and categorize the results as either chemical or physical change. The lesson uses connections to folklore, science fiction and comic books to assist each student as they make...

Students plan for their future by exploring occupational experience programs.In this career instructional activity students list activities that they will participate in in the future and complete a career exploration project.

Students examine Newton's three laws of motion to discover what causes it and how it changes. They conduct motion experiments by building catapults and constructing balloon rockets. Finally, they conduct peer studies correlating...
