The introduction to the lesson mentions a sailor's limited capacity to store drinking water on his ship. Pupils then set up an overnight experiment to remove freshwater from salt water by distillation. There is a math and map activity to...

Young scholars study groundwater movement beneath the surface of the Earth. In this agriculture lesson, students experiment with how water moves through rock materials such as sand, gravel, and clay.

Sixth graders explore popular ideas about the Sun and Moon. In this space science instructional activity, 6th graders separate commonly accepted details about our solar system into facts and myths. Students research a...

Students examine how animals create a unique space in which they can live. Students read a poem about animals' habitats discuss the habitats. They draw a space of their own and write a poem that describes their habitat.

Young scholars examine environmental change of land, water, and air, discuss Clear Skies Legislation, and experiment on solid compaction and resultant water filtration.

Students experiment with a jar, plastic bag and a rubber band to perform a science experiment. Students study the photocopy of Thinking About Relational Causality. Students explore the concept of a pressure-related phenomenon that...

Students draw a nature landscape using watercolors. In this life science lesson plan, students share their personal experience on the beauty of nature. They create clay models of different native animals.

Young scholars investigate the Interstellar Medium and the Local Bubble that the Sun is inside. They read and discuss a handout, answer discussion questions, observe a demonstration of light scattering, and conduct an experiment on the...

Students, in groups, research a planet from our solar system. They create Styrofoam models of the planets and place the planets on a correct distance scale from the sun.

Learners, after reviewing and analyzing Newton's third law of motion, make balloon rockets and experiment with a variety of models. After the experiment, they chart the results and form conclusions. In addition, they compare/contrast...

Students experiment with mixtures of matter. In this matter lesson, students investigate which liquids form a solution when mixed together and which do not. Students also identify which solids can be separated from matter.

Students experiment with yeast. In this environmental conditions lesson students test the viability of samples of yeast. Students investigate the effects of environmental conditions on the yeast.

Students explore energy by conducting an in class experiment. In this climate change instructional activity, students conduct a water vapor experiment in a soda bottle. Students utilize graphs and charts to analyze the results of the...

Students discover how straight lines and curves function in both art and the science of conservation tillage by building model "hills" and experimenting on them.

Students construct a balloon-powered rocket car from a Styrofoam tray, pins, tape, and a flexible straw, and test it along a measured track on the floor. They experiment with ways of increasing the distance the rocket car travels.

Students experiment with solids and liquids. In this mixtures of matter instructional activity, students combine matter to form solutions. Students hypothesize, test, and analyze the data to draw conclusions. The instructional activity...

Young scholars complete an online simulation of the greenhouse effect. For this lesson on the greenhouse effect, students use a website, similar to a webquest, to simulate and answer questions on how the greenhouse effect works. This...

Students experiment to find which liquids are more dense.  In this density and mass lesson plan, students predict and then test objects to observe and measure their density. students observe which items sink and float. Students...

Students experiment with force and motion. In this force and motion lesson, students test gravity using a variety of objects. Students rotate through a series of stations which use force, motion, friction, and inclines. Students predict...

Students explore musical pitch. In this cross curriculum musical instruments and "sound" physics lesson, students identify and describe common traits of woodwind instruments. Students research "pitch" and what causes pitch fluctuation by...

Students read and answer questions on neural processing and the Pinocchio Illusion. They relate and discuss these topics in conjunction with body-image disorders such as anorexia and bulimia . This lesson include video extension activities.

Students conduct an online experiment to discover what happens to solids, liquids and gases in different temperatures. In this states of matter lesson plan, students get into pairs and work in a virtual laboratory to...

Students discover the power of the sun through an outdoor experiment.  In this solar power lesson, students view a PowerPoint presentation on atoms before they complete an atom worksheet.  Students utilize a solar bag to...

Students explore physics by conducting a class experiment. In this density activity, students examine a list of items and discuss whether they will sink or float and then determine their density. Students examine the objects over five...
