In this pumpkin activity worksheet, students examine pumpkins inside and out and then respond to 4 short answer questions regarding their observations.

In this insects instructional activity, students collect 3 insects. Students draw the insects and observe what they are doing. Students fill out an observation chart.

In this bug survey worksheet, students fill in squares on a graphic organizer with information about flowers currently blooming, hiding places for "good bugs," and any bugs they have seen that are helpful for pollination, as food for...

In this tree worksheet, students find a dead tree or rotting log, describe it and look for signs of living things near it and all animals they find below it. 

Learners conduct experiments to learn about seed germination. In this seed germination instructional activity, students write a hypothesis for the seed experiment. learners complete the experiment for seed germination and graph the data...

For this physics worksheet, students complete short answer questions about physics concepts such as electricity, space, light, and more. Students complete 20 short answer questions.

Students observe organisms behavior and adaptations.  In this biomes activity students conduct fieldwork to determine water quality and answer questions about the differences between different habitats. 

Students design an experiment to determine the best conditions for molds growth. In this biology lesson plan, students collect data for a week and analyze their findings. They create a presentation and share them with the class.

Students identify the causes of hypothermia. In this biology lesson, students investigate the different types of heat transfer and heat loss. They discuss several practical measures to avoid hypothermia.

Second graders investigate the meaning of temperature. They determine what happens to a thermometer when the temperature rises or falls. They place thermometers in different classroom locations in order to compare the temperature in a...

High schoolers explore the basic building blocks of our planet.  In this minerals lesson young scholars begin the process of forensics on the basis of investigation and drawing conclusions from observations. 

Third graders are introduced to the topic of matter. As a class, they brainstorm what they already know about matter and its properties. After completing a worksheet, they participate in an experiment in which they observe matter in...

Fourth graders see how the flow of energy through an ecosystem made up of producers, consumers, and decomposers carries out the processes of life and that some energy dissipates as heat and is not recycled.

Second graders examine compost piles and what invertebrates help decompose the organic matter.  In this compost invertebrates lesson students collect invertebrates found in a compost pile and examine them. 

Students examine telescope construction. For this telescope lesson, students examine the lenses used in telescopes by exploring with convex and concave lenses.

Learners explore the parts of a microscope. In this microscope lesson, students examine simple and compound microscopes. Learners discover how the parts of a microscope work together to generate an image.

Young scholars explore the ways in which satellite images provide details of the Earth's surface and how they are capable of taking digital images of the Earth from space they vary in resolution and breadth. They view how cameras and...

Young scholars explore the basic skills guiding sound scientific invvestigation and methodology. They are introduced to a powerful scientific tool-the microscope. Students review the parts of the microscope. They discuss the inventor...

Students analyze a microscope and study what they do.  For this investigative lesson students study how microscopes were first invented, and how ray diagrams are used in conjunction. 

Students explain how telescopes work and how they can contribute to our knowledge of the universe.
