Students explore physical science by participating in a class science activity. For this magnet attribute lesson, students define a list of scientific vocabulary terms associated with magnets and participate in hands on magnet...

Students study concepts related to paper recycling. For this recycling lesson, they investigate the chemical processes used to recycle paper, and look at the environmental problems associated with using and recycling different types of...

Students explore forms that water can take and examine the water cycle. In this hands-on science instructional activity, students participate in activities that require them to change water to a solid and back to a liquid again.

Students enjoy hands-on learning experiences. In this current events lesson, students may visit the Lulworth Castle, Roald Dahl Museum, Glasgow Science Centre, Salts Mill, or the Sherwood Forest online or in-person to discover details of...

Students make their way to British museums. In this field trip opportunities lesson, students visit the The Deep, the Science of Sport, the Castle Munster, or High Beeches online on in person to experience hands-on science instruction.

Middle schoolers discuss the process of photosynthesis in plants and that oxygen is produced as a by product. They observe underwater Elodea plants "breathing" in a hands-on activity. After setting up the experiment, they observe the...

Fifth graders explore American colonial life. In this interdisciplinary history and science lesson, 5th graders participate in several hands-on activities that require them to make colonial products that involve physical or chemical...

Students explore the concept of environmental stewardship. In this science lesson, students examine the effects of oil spills and investigate clean-up methods as they participate in a hands-on activity.

Students examine plants. In this hands-on science lesson, students visit the Royal Botanic Gardens, the Eden Project, and Nature's World online or in person to investigate plants and gardens.

Students discover the differences between global warming and the greenhouse effect through hands-on classroom experiences. They use a 2-D globe and picture cards to identify the causes of both. Students visualize the human influence on...

Students discuss the difference between concentration and solubility as well as examine the difference in a hands-on activity. Using water and table salt, they experiment with solubility. They create different concentrations using water...

Students participate in a hands-on activity in which they observe conditions that are most conducive to the rusting of iron. They set up an experiment with 8 different nails in different situations with one of them acting as a control....

Pupils explore the various ways in which geologists create fossil records. Working in pairs, students create a model of a fossil record through a hands on activity. They relate their experience to recent discoveries in geology and...

Students participate in a hands-on activity to see how plants take up water and dissolved pollutants.

Middle schoolers participate in a hands-on experiment to compare how water and soil erosion affect soil and grass. They determine how slope affects erosion and how terracing affects erosion. They write a paragraph summarizing their data.

Young scholars construct a pinhole camera using their knowledge of the physics of light. This interdisciplinary activity give students hands-on experience in understanding the production and processing of photographic images.

Students participate in a hands-on experiment to discover why it is important to conserve water and explore common ways water is wasted. Students estimate the volume of water available on earth and calculate the volumes and costs of...
