In this experimental design worksheet, students use four questions to brainstorm about an experiment. The questions include the materials, the hypothesis and the independent and dependent variables.

In this experimental design worksheet, students brainstorm on an experiment to do with mice. They identify the materials available, the hypothesis and the independent and dependent variables.

Students act as chief research scientists with the responsibility of testing a new drug. Students design a controlled experiment to test a hypothetical experimental drug. Students write a clear, concise, and detailed plan to present to a...

For this project worksheet, students answer four questions about their experimental design. This includes their materials available, the action of their materials and their independent and dependent variable.

In this earth science worksheet on sunlight and soil, students use data collected in a chart to construct two graphs. Following, they answer five questions as they relate to the experiment performed.

Students experiment with solutions.  In this mixtures and solutions science lesson, students work in groups of three to perform an experiment. Students place a sugar cube in three glasses, and observe and record the different rates...

Young chemists have unknown compounds they need to sort. Performing three different tests on each, the chemical behaviors they observe become the basis for data analysis. 

The fifth lesson of seven in the series outlines an in-depth analysis of the periodic table. After direct instruction, pupils take turns practicing in the group before beginning independent study. The assessments include a...

Students' recognize the various roles of predicting in science. Students' practice making and interpreting predictions; experimenting to test their hypotheses; and refine their predictions based on observation and experimentation....

Young scholars conduct an experiment in small groups, draw conclusions about the amount heat of a compound achieves and practice their data analysis skills.

High schoolers gain experience in designing an experiment and use logic in selecting specific tests for unknowns. Students recognize the use of spreadsheets in helping one to make clear comparisons.

Students investigate friction by manipulating some of the variables affecting it. In this inquiry lesson, students design their own experiment. They create a video about it and share it to class.

Students use the scientific method to conduct an experiment to test how a ball bounces. In this inquiry-based physical science and scientific method instructional activity, students drop a ball from specified heights and record the...

Twelfth graders study the relationships of the 3 variables in Newton's Second Law. They design an experiment to test the relationships among the variables. Students work cooperatively with members of a team. They also analyze data to...

Fifth graders identify, through experimentation, what properties of substance are, determine what variables tested will be, identify constants and variables of experiment, conduct experiment to conclusion with measurable, recorded...

Students explore the active layer above permafrost and investigate various factors on the insulation value of the active layer.  In this energy transfer lesson, students conduct and experiment to determine the effects of snow cover,...

In this scientific investigation worksheet, students use "magic tubes" to make observations, hypothesize, study variables in experiments, write procedures, and draw conclusions.

Students experiment with a steel ball and matchbox car to find the effects of force and motion. In this force and motion instructional activity, students assemble a track, conduct experiments and record on a shoot the loop worksheet....

In this rate of solution worksheet, students determine how quickly a solute dissolves in a solvent by testing one independent variable such as temperature, particle size or the amount of stirring. Students design their experiments and...

Students investigate the strength of different adhesives. In this physical science lesson, students compare the force needed to peel adhesive tapes from a surface. They analyze collected data and make a generalization.

Students investigate the concept of a shadow. They design a tool to create shadows for an experiment. They make observations and record the size and shape of shadows. The lesson plan contains background information for the teacher to...

Eighth graders explore variables that influence the rate of erosion due to the 4 major agents. They work as a group and practice conducting experiments according to the scientific method. Students comprehend that communicating ideas...

Fifth graders utilize basic physics concepts to calculate speed of an object set in motion from various heights. In this basic physics lesson plan, 5th graders make observations, calculations, record data, and conclusions throughout...

Students design a track that keeps a ball in motion for 5 seconds or longer. In this designing lesson plan, students explore force, gravity, and cause and effect when it comes to science and building before building their own track.
