Learners apply their comprehension of colligative properties to real-world situations. They review the concepts of physical and chemical changes. Students are reminded that science is used extensively in food-production. They are...

Students use purple cabbage indicator to test five know substances for acidic/alkaline balance. They discuss the safety precautions required both inside and outside a lab in handling acids and bases.

High schoolers discuss and conduct a food safety experiment which looks at bacteria and food poisoning. They swab the other area of some food and grow bacteria in an agar plate.

Students compare their unknown serum against a set of known serum standards and determine the animal source of their serum. They write a lab report to communicate their results.

High schoolers investigate the effects of acid rain. The lesson contains a lab background for the teacher to use before the implementation of the lesson. They conduct an experiment to collect data and then report the results of the...

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.

Students research on renewable and nonrenewable resources. In this chemistry lesson, students design and build solar panels. They evaluate their device and write a lab report.

Students observe a jar of pond water and predict how much life they think exists in the jar and watch a "Bill Nye: The Science Guy" video regarding protists. They participate in an online virtual pond dip where they begin to familiarize...

Tenth graders predict the conditions necessary for bacterial growth, test their predictions and at the same time practice the aseptic techniques and safety procedures needed when working with bacteria.

Students experiment to create a plastic solution. For this science lesson, students use sodium borax and polyvinyl alcohol to create their solution, then identify, discuss, and chart observations on the end product.

High schoolers examine how every element is classified based on the physical and chemical properties.  In this properties of metals lesson students divide into groups, complete a lab and finish a data sheet. 

Pupils conduct a lab to determine the best way to separate a variety of mixtures choosing between paper, thin layer and column chromatography. They use chromatography techniques to identify unknown substances and submit a lab report on...

Students conduct a variety of experiments to see how heat is transferred using common household objects. The teacher uses the safety plans included in the lesson plan. This is ideal for inexperienced Science teachers.

Students conduct an experiment to determine the relationship between pressure and temperature. For this physical science lesson, students collect data and graph them. They compare the results of Celsius and Fahrenheit data sheets.

Pupils investigate the organisms of bacteria. They are given a culture of bacteria that can be observed under a microscope. The students make observations that are recorded. The lesson plan includes the mention of specific safety...

Learners investigate arctic geology and hydrology as well as tundra ecology as they consider options for sewage treatment. Public safety, environmental impact, and issues of construction and engineering be explored.

Young scholars discover the roles of pigments present in leaves. They extract and isolate pigments present in autumn leaves using a thin layer chromatography. Very nice activity and lab!

Young scholars conduct a hands-on lab activity in which they analyze a sample of water from a local stream or pond. They introduce a fertilizer solution into the sample and analyze and describe their findings.

Students explore the DNA of strawberries. In this science lesson, students extract the DNA of strawberries. Students complete a lab report.

Students list the common properties of acids and bases. They classify substances as acids or bases, by using pH and litmus tests and are able to explain the pH scale. They participate in a lab activity which reinforce their understanding.

High schoolers analyze the factors affecting organisms in the pond ecosystem. In this environmental science lesson, students perform an experiment to determine pH, nutrients and temperature of different pond sites. They present their...

Young scholars 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...

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