Students investigate the cooling and heating of water. In this online science experiment instructional activity, students work in groups to make predictions regarding freezing and boiling points and then test those predictions as they...

Students explain that when a beam of light is reflected from its surface, it changes direction. In this virtual science experiment lesson plan, students complete an activity that requires them to investigate how flat mirrors reflect...

Students describe and compare common properties of various classroom materials. In this science/matter lesson plan, students observe common classroom items and the materials they are made of to complete a list of common properties.

Students participate in an online activity to determine how objects heat and cool. They determine what objects best serve as thermal insulators.

Students participate in an online lesson to determine that different plants and animals are found in different habitats. They use food chains to show feeding relationships in a habitat, and see that nearly all food chains start with a...

Young scholars exercise their muscles to explore concept of heart rate and to explain how blood supplies muscles with oxygen.

Students are introduced to the concept of friction. Using that information, they discover ways in which friction can be useful. They participate in different activities to see fricition in action. They complete a grid worksheet and...

Students compare the properties of rocks. They identify objects made of rocky materials such as walls, sidewalks, etc. Students describe and group rocks based on their characteristics.

Students investigate different forces and draw arrows to signify specific directions of force. Students are then shown a brick and they are asked to draw a diagram which will include labels for the forces that are acting on the brick....

Students identify and explain the parts of a flower and their role in the life cycle of flowering plants, including pollination, seed dispersal and germination using the Internet. Students will also study and discuss the key points and...

Students investigate the habitats of living things and the cycle of the food chain. In this scientific inquiry online instructional activity, students examine the habitats of plants and animals as well as the food chain as they sort...

Students investigate how different types of objects act as thermal insulators. In this online lesson plan, students hypothesize how particular objects act as insulators and then complete the online activity to determine which materials...

Students explore plants and recognize that they are living things that require light and water to grow. In this online plant biology instructional activity, students identify, name and match the parts of plants. Extension activities and...

Students investigate gases and liquids. In this states of matter online lesson, students examine how evaporation plays a part in the transition of liquids into gases as they watch a kettle of water boil and then work in small groups on...

Students identify and explain the parts of a flower and their role in the life cycle of flowering plants. For this online plant biology lesson, students explore the processes of pollination, seed dispersal, and germination. Extension...

Students discuss micro-organisms. In this micro-organisms lesson, students identify which micro-organisms are harmful and which ones are beneficial. Students complete a worksheet which is included in the lesson.

Students predict the common classroom items, such as paper clips, chalk, keys, or erasers, that will be good conductors in a circuit. They build circuits using a variety of circuit diagrams to test their predictions.

Students identify different kinds of energy such as heat energy, kinetic energy, potential energy, and magnetic energy. They investigate the concept of conservation of energy.

Students observe a series of demonstrations to illustrate wave movement. In this sound wave activity, students witness how objects create waves when dropped in a dish of water, use a rope and slinky to produce transverse and longitudinal...

In this word search instructional activity, learners search for words related to the Earth, the sun and it's movements. Terms include seasons, features, and movements.

Students use a website to name and compare external body parts of humans and other animals.

Young scholars participate in an online instructional activity to reinforce the similarities and differences in plants and animals. They classify living things according to observable characteristics.

Learners participate in an online activity showing that gases are formed when liquids evaporate and that when a gas is cooled, it condenses to form a liquid, and gases move and flow more easily than liquids, and how gases differ from...

Students participate in an online activity to investigate the effects of cooling and heating on water.
