Learners experiment with enzymes as key components of chemical reactions in all living things through this series of lessons.

Fifth graders examine the role of magnetism and electricity. In groups, they are given different types of magnets and discover how the magnetic force differs for each one. They measure the amount of distance a paper clip moves toward...

Students experiment with Drosophila to determine if density of female flies, food sources, temperature and light affect the population dynamics of growth. Students graph their data and compare their results to the number of human...

Students experiment with the bounce of balls on various surfaces. For this physics lesson, students use various surfaces to bounce balls to study the momentum. This hands-on activity with the concepts of elasticity of surfaces which is...

In this paper helicopter worksheet, students design and experiment making a paper helicopter to explore how some things fall and how varying the size of the rotor blades affect the way a helicopter spins.

Students use simple machines that demonstrate force, friction, work and power. They investigate and explain simple machines.

Students draw a line graph, and use graphing as a tool to discover more about conduction, convection and radiation. They should design their own experiment using heat sensitive paper to show they explain these 3 processes.

Students engage in a lesson that gives them the tools needed to become knowledgeable credit consumers. The companion website for the ITV program TV-411 is used to provide learners with an interactive experience of what credit has to offer.

Learners research the solar cycle. In this Science lesson, students use the internet to investigate the solar cycle. Learners produce a spreadsheet and graph from the information collected.

Middle schoolers construct models of simple and complicated machines with Legos. Then they design an experiment using the scientific method. ESE modifications included.

Students determine the volume of a rectangular prism. They then maximize and minimize the volume given variable side lengths.  Finally, they factor the volume equation to determine the side lengths.

Pupils analyze the variables in the formula of a compound interest. They model the increase or decrease of an investment using compound interest and discuss different compounding periods.

Students find a variety of topics and subjects in this lesson. In the math section of this lesson, students graph linear equations and analyze their data. They solve one and two step equations to find the variable.

Students study the role of controls. They discuss variables and list conditions, that if not kept the same for both flasks, could effect the outcome of the experiment. They come up with most of the following: Amount and temperature of...

Students investigate the behavior of pendulums and identify the variables that affect it.  In this pendulum lesson students complete a lab on pendulums, make conclusions about frequency and the period then conduct a controlled...

Reviewing the process of solving equations is as easy as one click of a button. Scholars solve linear and quadratic equations by using a helpful interactive. The computer app automatically scores responses, providing immediate feedback...

Prepare to accelerate your Android. Pupils prep for the upcoming activity in this third installment of a four-part series. The lesson plan progresses nicely by first introducing different types of acceleration to the class. The teacher...

Help your class determine the types of pollutants coming from vehicle exhaust. Groups use an air quality monitor to determine the emissions from different vehicles, to gain knowledge about combustion energy, and to predict how the...

Obesity is a worldwide concern. Using survey results, learners compare local BMI statistics to celebrity BMI statistics. Scholars create box plots of the data, make observations about the shape and spread of the data, and examine the...

In this biology instructional activity, students review the characteristics of life and the scientific method. This instructional activity has 19 fill in the blank, 6 matching, and 2 short answer questions.

In this problem solving worksheet, learners will put the 7 steps to problem solving in a logical order. Then students will design a hypothetical study comparing a person's weight on Earth with his weight on Mars and complete 3 short...

Students explore energy conversions by demonstrating the conversion of electrical energy into light, heat, sound, and magnetic energy. Students create a simple device that converts electrical energy from batteries to heat, light, sound...

Students determine the coefficient of friction for different surfaces. For this physics lesson, students identify the factors that affect friction. They collect data and write a formal lab report.

Students explore the concept of the scientific method. In this investigative lesson, students investigate which direction the blades will spin on a gyrocopter. Student will practice using the scientific method to complete the investigation.
