Students study the history of the paper plane.  In this design instructional activity students create several types of paper planes and determine if there is a difference in mean flight distances.

Learners explore chemiluminescence through various experiments. In this chemistry lesson plan, students explain the chemical reaction that drives the process. They give real life applications of chemiluminescence.

Students study chromatography and how they can distinguish between the different pigments in a color.  In this chromatography lesson plan students separate a mixture of dyes in soluble ink then record the colors they see. 

Fourth graders calculate the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane. In this physics instructional activity, 4th graders identify the different types of simple machines and their uses. They give examples of compound machines.

Students differentiate chemiluminescence from bioluminescence. In this biology instructional activity, students explain how fireflies and other animals emit light. They discuss the applications of engineered bioluminescence.

Young scholars explore what the Bermuda triangle is and the theories as to why it is so mysterious.  In this mystery lesson students read and discuss the history and the mystery behind the Bermuda Triangle. 

Students examine the importance of vitamin c in their diets and the sources that it comes from.  For this vitamin lesson students complete hands on activities, interpret data and make a bar graph.

Sixth graders compare and contrast mass and weight. In this physics lesson, 6th graders calculate speed given distance and time information. They construct a rocket and relate this to Newton's 3rd Law of motion.

Third graders analyze the effects of force on an object in motion and its relationship to a change in speed. This lesson uses a pendulum to demonstrate the principle.

Students identify the signs that a chemical reaction took place. In this chemistry activity, students role play the movement of different molecules of matter. They classify matter according to their properties.

Learners examine fungi and where it comes from.  In this mold instructional activity students determine the percentage of fruit juice in a fruit then identify the different types of mold.

High schoolers investigate the carbon dioxide content of different sodas. In this chemistry lesson, students explain why PET containers are preferable than HDPE for soda bottles. They collect data and graph them.

Students explore how allelopathy works in plants. In this botany lesson, students explain how this phenomenon affect other organisms. They read and analyze an article about allelopathy and discuss its flaws.
