Students examine the characteristics of fungi. In this biology lesson, students investigate the factors needed for fungi growth. They collect data and observations and write a report about them.

Students examine and describe the six main simple machines. In groups, they work with an inclined plane to calculate the ideal and actual mechanical advantages of the plane. Using their results, they must determine the efficiency of the...

First graders participate in a study of air pressure in which the investigate if air has the strength to lift heavy objects. They work in teams to develop a hypothesis about whether air in bags would be able to lift a stack of books....

Students study Faraday's law of induction and the equations that show how to calculate electromagnetic induction.  In this electromagnetic lesson students complete several experiments on the law of induction.

Young scholars examine what an electroscope is and who invented it.  In this electrical lesson students build their own Emergency Radiation detector Electroscope.

Students examine how materials oppose the flow of an electrical current.  In this resistivity lesson students complete several experiments on the differences between resistance and resistivity.

Learners explore the differences between a parallel and a series circuit.In this current lesson students complete several experiments using a light bulb.

Students examine the nutrient makeup in fertilizers.  In this plant nutrient lesson students see the effects of common fertilizers on plants.

Students study how clouds form, what different types there are and what rain is.  In this atmospheric lesson students make a cloud and create evaporation.

Students examine soil erosion and what causes it.  In this soil lesson students complete several experiments on soil erosion and the weathering process. 

Students describe the characteristics of algae. In this biology lesson, students perform a series of experiment to explore algae. They investigate the basic things algae need to survive.

Students study fungus, its reproduction and uses.  In this eukaryote lesson students complete several fungal experiments.     

Students study what a plant gall is and the different types that there are.  In this plant lesson students examine what causes galls and how to prevent them.

Students examine the advantages and disadvantages of genetic engineering. In this genetics activity students simulate the genetic engineering of a human insulin gene.

Students explore what amino acids are, their history and how they are used in technology.  In this protein lesson students identify the properties of proteins and amino acids.

Students explore enzymes and what can inhibit and act as a catalyst for them.  In this enzymes lesson students complete experiments on enzyme properties.

Students explore the different types of lifters through a series of activities. For this physics lesson, students explain the mechanics involved in the lifter designs. They compare aluminum versus zinc lifters.

Students study how hot air balloons were created and the different types there are.  In this density and lift lesson students build their own hot air balloon.

Students study the basics of a model rocket and its classifications.  For this rocket lesson students determine the flight duration of a model rocket.

Students examine the different kinds of propellers and their functions.  In this airplane lesson plan students build a hand made propeller.

Students study how the sun is at the center of the solar system.  In this solar lesson students measure the altitude of the sun and its size.

Students examine how and when rust and corrosion occur.  In this corrosion instructional activity students complete an experiment to see why metals rust. 

Students observe exothermic reactions in the lab using plaster. In this chemistry activity, students collect data from their experimental set up every five minutes. They explain the different stages in the hardening of plaster.

Students study chloroplasts, their structure and evolution.  In this photosynthesis lesson students experiment with polarized light and the production of chlorophyll.
