Fourth graders participate in a game reflecting the solar system, stars, and rockets. They simulate how space invaders move and hit stars and rockets. They discuss how scientists study the stars and planets.

Students explore homeostasis and identify it in work in an organism. They brainstorm things that stay the same and participate in several demonstrations that illustrate homeostasis. Students predict baseline breathing and jumping jacks

In this living in space reading learning exercise, students read a passage about life on the International Space Station written by a former astronaut. Students then answer 6 multiple choice questions.

Students discuss core samples. In this environment lesson, students experiment discovering what is beneath the surface by using cupcakes as models finding out what sort of layers are found within the cupcakes.

Sixth graders identify air pressure and how it affects objects. They experiment with one hard boiled egg in a bottle and the affects of air pressure on the egg.

Young scholars watch a teacher demonstration of cloud formation. They research cloud formation on the Internet to write reports that summarize the process of cloud formation.

Students experiment with the alveoli by showing how nicotine, tar and carbon dioxide can affect the lungs. They role play being nicotine, carbon dioxide, tar, alveoli and cough.

Students discover how inclined planes make work easier as they make mathematical predictions and prove their predictions through experiments.

Learners form their own hypothesis about the relationships between force, mass, and acceleration for their dynamics cart system. They collect data and express it in a graphical format to visualize the relationships.

Students work together to examine inclined planes. They create a plan to raise rocks to build pyramids. They discover the changes that occur when the angle is increased or decreased.

Pupils study scientific names and descriptions of forces.  In this motion lesson students organize information into a graphic organizer then teach it to other pupils. 

Pupils construct various types of paper airplanes, exploring action and reaction forces by conducting a paper airplane rodeo. Students then discuss how Newton's Third Law of Motion affected their planes.

Students use an online interactive to launch a rocket from earth. They have control over the angle and thrust of the rocket to discover the relationship between the two.

Students will work in small groups, observing an ice cube and recording a description, the feel of the ice, and how it looks when put in another container. Students observe changes in the ice over 15 minute intervals, then freeze the...

Second graders examine how their choices affect the environment. They identify different types of pollution and its source. They ask questions to end the lesson.

Learners explore simple machines and demonstrate thier acquired understanding by building a simple machine.

Third graders demonstrate that gravity is a force.

Young scholars use inquiry and observation to explore Newton's third law of motion: for every action there is a reaction. For this physics lesson, students rotate through six stations set up with materials and picture directions...

Second graders investigate insects and non-insects by creating their own definitions. They complete a series of activities relating to insects.

Students observe an earthquake demonstration. They research an earthquake and use color dots to plot the location of each of their earthquakes on the large map.

Eighth graders use candy to show the effects of deformation forces on the earth's crust.  In this rock and fossil formation lesson students construct models and simulations to describe and explain natural phenomena.

Young scholars investigate gas laws and apply them in experimental conditions. Using an apparatus composed of a syringe and wooden blocks, they experimentally verify Boyle's and Charles' laws of gases.

Students choose which building material to use to create their structure and which animal to house. After being read a story, they examine and identify the differnet types of homes mentioned. They take pictures of their structures...

For this electricity worksheet, students review topics related to electricity such as circuits, voltage, electric fields, and resistors. This worksheet has 21 problems to solve.
