Students research information about whales. In this early childhood lesson plan, students create an illustration of a whale to display in a sea scene in the classroom. Students then use the library and internet to research a whale of...

Students delve into a study of sharks. In this science lesson plan, students examine the many different scientific occupations, as well as some possible specializations therein, and perhaps a little bit of other life considerations,...

Students investigate the relationship between pitches and notes. In this musical pitches and notes lesson, students use different sized bottles, water, and sugar to demonstrate different sounds. Students create musical notes.

Young scholars demonstrate how energy is used to make a sound. In this sound lesson, students construct a kazoo from a comb and identify how a sound is made by using force.

Students recognize objects around their school made of rocky materials. In this changes in rocks and soil lesson, students use a website for a virtual experiment of rocks.  Students group rocks based on their properties....

Third graders explore worms in multiple ways. In this lesson on worms, 3rd graders search for worms in their natural environment, record data on worms, and dissect worms.

Students explore force and motion through a series of experiments. In this physics lesson, students create and interpret speed graphs. They build an electromagnet and explain the factors affecting its strength.

Ninth graders investigate whether stronger hurricanes are signs of global warming. In this environmental science lesson plan, 9th graders research both sides of the issue about global warming. They debate for or against this issue in class.

Learners calculate how much coal they use based on their electric power usage. For this environmental science lesson, students trace the history of coal mining in US. They write a letter to USPS to encourage them to create coal mining...

In this experimental design worksheet, students describe the different science skills required when designing an experiment. Then students create a flipbook with the information. This worksheet has 9 short answer questions.

Seventh graders examine the different types of pollutants. In this environmental science lesson, 7th graders observe particulate matter under a microscope. They explain how these can affect once health when breathed in large quantities...

Young scholars explore the concept of magnification. In this science tools instructional activity, students participate in activities at viewing stations within the classroom. Young scholars use magnifying tools at each of the stations...

Students create a compost cake. In this gardening and decomposition science lesson, students review and describe the "nutrient cycle." Students create a compost pile, measure and record the dimensions and temperature of the pile, and...

Second graders develop a plan to recycle trash. In this environmental science lesson, 2nd graders sketch their invention and construct it. They present the final product in class.

Second graders compare and contrast animate and inanimate objects. In this environmental science lesson, 2nd graders create simple food webs. They observe their environment and create a collage about it.

Third graders create a KWL chart about water. In this environmental science instructional activity, 3rd graders demonstrate how much water on Earth is usable. They act out the different stages of the water cycle.

In this making observations in science worksheet, students experiment with whole milk in a pie tin with added food color. They make observations and then add a toothpick with soap on the end to the middle of the tin. They make...

Students identify the different stages in the water cycle. In this environmental science lesson, students research about different water pollutants in watershed. They describe ways to purify water.

High schoolers discover how a datum of reference points are used to to describe a location. In this Earth Science lesson, students will simulate how a GPS accurately determines the location of reference points within a datum.

Learners discover many characteristics of the starfish. For this early childhood lesson plan, students identify characteristics of starfish. Learners develop a language experience chart and record their new-found information, and...

Students read a book called It's Mine! In this instructional activity about three frogs and sharing, students explore how what they do affects everything around them. Through a series of seven different activities, students interpret the...

Students explore their five senses. In this human biology lesson, students participate in various learning centers that include activities such as creating a Q-tip skeleton, feeling play dough, creating "goop" and listening to drum beats.
