Students investigate peanuts. In this science lesson, students explore the properties of the peanut and shell. Students burn a peanut to observe the peanut oil. Students taste test different types of peanut butter.

Pupils investigate buoyancy by participating in a lab experiment. In this density lesson, students utilize vinegar and alcohol in beakers and attempt to float different items in them. Pupils analyze which items float and do not while...

Learners define surface water, drainage basin or watershed. They investigate what affects runoff in a drainage basin. They complete lab sheets and worksheets.

Students define spills, leaks and landfills. Students list environmental problems caused by spills,leaks and landfills. Students access the Internet to complete Prediction lab report worksheets, etc. Students test/quiz over their...

Students make a terrarium from common household items that are brought to class. They can be creative with materials but the method is set for how the mini-lab is set up. Students read a book about an ecosystem to stimulate the topic for...

Students listen to a lecture on the collision theory. They discuss the reactant and product changes during a chemical reaction. Students are taught the factors affecting reaction rates. They complete a lab on entropy, heat and free...

Students study sound and how it is created.  In this sound waves instructional activity students complete a lab activity that shows students the variables that affect sound. 

Ninth graders gain an application level understanding of probability, symmetry, and ratios and rates that exists in one's everyday environment relative to human genetics.

You know that liquid nitrogen turns into a gas at room temperature. Place some in a two-liter bottle for a physics demonstration of the ideal gas law. Beware, however; this is a dangerous demonstration! Not to mention that you may not...

Students examine various techniques that can reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and use chemistry to simulate oceanic sequestration. They conduct an experiment involving the method of oceanic absorption for carbon sequestration,...

Students explore geologic sequestration as a technique used to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. They use chemistry to stimulate oil mining. Students conduct an experiment to learn about geo carbon sequestration.

Students evaluate the importance of hormones in living things. In this biology instructional activity, students experiment on carrots to differentiate how humans and plants reproduce. They collect data from experiment to answer analysis...

Students examine the structure, sizes and nutritional value of eggs. After completing a word search, they participate in a lab in which they make baked eggs with bacon. To end the lesson, they test their final product and complete a lab...

Students describe safe practice when doing field and lab investigations in a estuary or wetland. They create a model of an estuary and describe their value and function. They participate in field study in which they collect and analyze...

Ninth graders produce a lithographic negative from a pinhole camera and solve problems if light leaks appear on the negative. They are able to describe and use lab safety procedures presented in class.

Students participate in a handboiler experiment, using a sealed glass vial filled with alcohol. They record the data and do averages and see if there is a difference between a boiler and a non-boiler.

Students research topics. They teach a lesson plan based on their chosen topic to other students.

Students design and build their own truss. In this physics lesson, students calculate the forces and maximum load. They complete a full scale diagram of their design.

Students build and test a type of communication system called a parabolic-dish receiver. This type of system is exactly like radio telescopes, which are discussed in our song. They explain how signals are transmitted and captured with...

Students observe a demonstration of Lenz's Law using an aluminum can and a bar magnet. They hypothesize what will occur as the can is placed in water and the magnet is lowered above it on a string. Students discover the phase shift...

Students examine ways to reduce the greenhouse effect. Students keep a "CO2 Journal" to help establish a connection between their own behavior and its impact on global warming as well as discover ways to reduce global warming.

Students explore the motion of a toy bungee jumper using the scientific method. They view a video of a bungee jumper and discuss what can be measured about a bungee jump. Students discuss the scientific mehtod and how to design an...

High schoolers determine if they are tasters or non-tasters and then replicate the experiment with family and peer group members. They collect data from the experiment to determine which trait is dominant.

Young scholars conduct an experiment to determine how much hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is actually in a store-bought solution of H2O2.
