Students compare obesity trends between states.  In this health studies lesson, students conduct research to compare and contrast obesity trends from state to state.  Students view a PowerPoint presentation to determine the...

Students, by way of the Olympic Games event of ice skating, are introduced to the concepts of gravity. They try some hands-on gravity experiments and explore the concept of gravity through art.

Students study environmental health. Using actual NOAA satellite imagery, students investigate the basic concepts of mapping. They explore the relationship between monitoring satellite images and public health decision making.

Students compile weather satellite data from three satellites for one month, obtain weather reports and data from professionals, then create a document with predicted results.

Students investigate the growth of bacteria in the presence of antibiotics. They write a hypothesis, conduct an experiment to test their hypothesis, analyze the results of their bacterial growth experiment, and describe the results on a...

Students work together to complete an experiment calculating the amount of board footage in a tree. They record their data and answer questions at the end of the lesson. They create their own hypothesis as well.

Students estimate how many drops of water can fit onto the surface of a penny and then test their hypothesis to find out. They also experiment with bubbles.

Fourth graders work together in groups to design and complete one science experiment of their choice. Following the experimental steps, they show their experiment and the results to the class in the form of a PowerPoint. They explain...

Learners use knowledge of what satellite imagery tells to create a descriptive hypothesis of the ground phenomenon during a hurricane.

Support your learners as they work on writing paragraphs by providing graphic organizers, outlines, and frames. Sift through this packet to find the perfect organizers and templates to prepare pupils for writing. The resource...

Learners observe a demonstration in which a bottle containing a colorless solution is mixed, turns blue, then becomes colorless again. They record observations, form and discuss hypotheses, and draw a conclusion based on the evidence.

Students identify sources of Food Borne illness and their prevention. They formulate hypotheses based on collected information. Pupils become aware of Nutrintional value of food. Students collected data are synthesized to formulate...

Students explore the theory of Plate Tectonics. They participate in a simulation in which they re-enact the debate over Plate Tectonics vs. traditional beliefs of stationary continents that were widely accepted during the 1800's and...

Students, after researching and brainstorming about aquifers and locating aquifer maps of Texas, participate in the building of a model of an aquifer complete with a pumping station. They also answer a variety of questions at the...

Students study attributes associated with concept of fiber optics is done using a labmade fiber optic from clear molded gelatin. A variety of shapes can be cut and pieced together to form a conduit to transmit the laser beam by internal...

High schoolers explain the different heat transfer mechanisms and how they influence the building envelope. They develop ways in which the building envelope can be improved and test hypotheses about building envelope designs.

Students plant a garden and keep track of it. In this geometrical garden lesson, students collect data from their garden twice a week. They graph their finding and figure out how many square feet of growing space each person needs...

Young scholars predict the safest seashore substrate for animals. In this animal habitat experiment, students predict, test their hypothesis, and record data about how wave shocks affect animals living on either sand, gravel or rock. 

Students explore the concept of density. In this density lesson plan, students determine the density of a crown and a sample of clay. They hypothesize about the densities of 4 liquids they are given including molasses, cooking oil, a red...

Students form hypotheses and carry out an investigation in order to answer a central question: Does soap float? The focus of this lesson is on scientific inquiry, but it incorporates scientific topics such as sinking and floating.

Students demonstrate the greenhouse effect. They recognize that relatively small changes to our environment can stimulate significant climate changes. They determine that the "scientific method" is a process of testing hypotheses and...

Students observe the effect of croos contamination as they inoculate orange juice with penicillin mold from the refrigeration lab and active yeast solution from the sterilization lab. They experience a simulation of passing bacteria...

In this control and experimental variables worksheet, students read about the variables in an experiment and practice identifying each in 2 experiments. Students analyze the data in an experiment, identify the hypothesis and the...

Students investigate clams. In this clam life lesson, students conduct an experiment where they dissect clams. Students compare anatomies of humans and clams.
