Students identify the different types of chemical bonds. In this chemistry lesson, students research a procedure on growing crystals in the lab. They perform the experiment and share results with the class.

Students recognize and use chemical indicators in the lab, recognize the need for safety while doing chemical experiments and understand the need for following precise directions.

Learners engage in a lab that focuses on animal behavior in an open ended inquiry based laboratory experience. They build an ethogram, display a transition matrix and analyze a Markov Chain. They remove wings from the drosophila and...

Students graph the data collected on seedling establishment and survival for each soil type over a 6 week period. Each lab group graphs data gathered from one plant. They choose a color for each soil type and create a key for the...

Young scholars participate in a lab activity using three tuning forks of different frequencies and a Resonance Tube Set purchased from Sargent-Welch to take measurements of resonant lengths of the tuning fork frequencies. Students then...

Students participate in a lab to verify Boyle's Law using applied force (weight) to do work on a closed isolated system of air. "Elasticity of Gases Apparatus, BASIX" from Sargent-Welch is the syringe apparatus used to measure volume...

Young scholars explore plate tectonics and the formations of the Earth's surface and why maps are distorted.  For this Earth's surface lesson students complete a lab and answer questions. 

Students examine icebergs and how they are suspended in water, why ice floats, the melting process of an iceberg, and the floating behavior of ice compared to that of a cork through a lab activity.

Pupils explore ecology and biodiversty. They use the wet-mount procedure to make several slides to view using the microscope and draw what they see.

Learners examine the process that creates limestone.  In this limestone lesson students complete a worksheet and participate in a lab activity. 

Students investigate the conditions needed for cloud formation and explore how pressure and temperature effect cloud formation.  In this atmospheric pressure lesson students complete a lab on cloud formation. 

Second graders investigate the effect of melting glaciers to sea level. In this earth science lesson, 2nd graders simulate the process in the lab by conducting an experiment using ice cubes and clay. They explain the consequences of...

Learners create an accelerometer and take measurements of acceleration in a moving car. They study the car speeding up in a straight line, slowing in a straight line and curving at constant speed. They prepare a lab report showing...

In this separating solids experiment worksheet, students follow the procedures to find what physical properties could be used to separate a mixture of pepper, salt, sand and iron filings.

Students explain the processes for separating DNA from tissue and separating complex mixtures.  In this exploratory instructional activity students complete a lab where they extract DNA.  

Young scholars examine how to prepare an experimental procedure.  In this scientific method lesson students conduct an investigation on phosphate.

High schoolers explore screening processes for biological activity.  In this deep sea lesson students complete a lab activity. 

In this photosynthesis worksheet, students follow the steps to complete a science investigation and then respond to 8 short answer questions regarding the photosynthesis investigation.

In this plant reproduction worksheet, students follow the steps to complete a science investigation and then respond to 2 short answer questions and complete a data table regarding the investigation.

Third graders complete various activities about clouds. They create a cloud in a lab, write a cloud story, make a cloud model and complete a webquest.

High schoolers discover how water moves through different types of soils. In groups, they use the same sample from a previous activity and empty it into a milk carton in which they have layered with cheesecloth to determine the...

Students discover plant chemical processes through three lab activities. Overheads, data sheets, and teaching procedures provided for the unit covering photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration.

Ninth graders study the effects of soil and rocks on filtering groundwater.  In this groundwater lesson plan students complete a lab activity that includes sources of contamination. 

Eighth graders study tropical and temperate rainforests.  For this rainforest lesson students complete a lab activity using the Internet.
