Third graders discuss the benefits for maintaining good nutrition and a well balanced diet. They categorize foods into the correct food group, decide if a meal is balanced, and create a full day menu which demonstrates what they have...

Students identify the general atomic structure of an element represented on the periodic table. They examine bean and rice patterns that have been created by the teacher and posted around the room and then attempt to match the periodic...

Students identify magnification by first using a magnifying glass and then with photos taken through a microscope. They complete a handout that leads them through each activity stated. Finally, students use their microscope to view a...

Fifth graders study the effects of mass on gravity. For this gravity lesson, 5th graders make model parachutes and helicopters in order to apply the scientific process and find out the effects of mass on drops of the 2 objects.

Young scholars discuss the importance of spaying and neutering pets. In this animal care lesson, students create a make believe animal shelter. They discuss what happens to animals in the shelter and if no one wants to take them home. 

Students investigate various tree leaves and use a dichotomous key to classify the leaves. In this leaf classification lesson, students study various types of leaves and their Genus. Students record observations for each Genus.

Pupils read passages and view a slide show on the theory of evolution and provide evidence that this theory is correct. In this evolution lesson plan, students read about fossils, anatomy, organs, fetal development, and more.

Fourth graders write poems describing the relationship of machine parts. In this poetry writing lesson, 4th graders review a system and examples. Students discuss the systems individual parts and how they work. Students use the given...

Students examine the different careers associated with chemistry and see how it is used everyday.  In this forensic activity students research a chemistry related career and write a presentation to give to the class.

In this protist worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle with 34 questions about the behaviour and different types of protists.

Students investigate how water passes through cell membranes. In this biology lesson, students differentiate osmosis and diffusion. They illustrate the movement of water in both processes.

Students explore the uses of optical fibers, are exposed to the principles of refraction and total internal reflection, solve problems relating to the design of fiber optic cables, and compare them to copper transmission lines.

Second graders, using large colored poster board, explore photosynthesis and its effect on the food chain and survival of organisms.

Pupils research and define an atom using a concept map. They design and create a model of an atom, labelling all the parts, and write a journal entry.

Students create a model of the distances of the planets in the solar system using sheets of toilet paper and markers. Generally accepted orbital parameters are applied.

Students study variation of organisms. They determine this variation arises from genetic and environmental causes.

Students explore the different ways which animals survive the winter months, and sort animals into correct categories using a Venn diagram.

Student examine the close relationship between fossil energy and our daily lives. To demonstrate to the student the close relationship between fossil energy and our daily lives.

Students conduct an experiment to apply Newton's first law of motion. They observe the inertia of an object in regard to its mass. The students record and graph the outcomes of their investigation and present the relationship between...

Learners are allowed to strip away the cell walls of plants cells (using enzymes) and then observe the resulting spherical protoplasts (plant cells minus the cell wall). They see that plants cells indeed have a plasma membrane in...

Students explore protein synthesis through creative expression. They constructa three dimensional, move-able model of protein synthesis depicting all of the processes involved, from replication to the production of the protein.

Students describe a spool of light colored thread that the teacher holds in his/her hands. They are asked what substances (cotton and wood) are present and what structures (thread and spool) are present. The teacher conclude that the...

Students read an article about manipulation of plant DNA. After reading the short article, they work in small groups to respond to the provided discussion questions and explain their answer to the class.

Students explore ten different stations that demonstrate either chemical, kinetic, or mechanical energy. They examine the way energy is transferred during each station's hands-on activity. Stations include vinegar and baking soda,...
