Learners research to identify a serious problem.

Third graders participate in a review game about significant people who have made inventions.

Students examine biodiversity by conducting comparative biodiversity surveys. They conduct Internet research to identify insects that they have caught in two different habitats, and compare the biodiversity of the two areas.

Students become familiar with real-world gathering of chemical data. The experience how the science is done: the nature of analysis, data collection, interpretation, and presentation. They study a nearby body of water for their experiment.

Learners are introduced to the concept of decomposition. They examine decomposition in their school orchard. They write about their findings in a journal.

Students discuss difference between kinetic and thermal energy, develop and demonstrate understanding of key concepts and characteristics underlying thermal spray techniques, list items used in their daily lives that are coated, examine...

Students read a paper describing Einstein's 1905 papers. They answer five teacher-provided questions in small groups to consider the importance of his findings. Students describe in personal writings what effect they think these findings...

Students examine the chemical and physical weathering process of different rocks in a cemetery based on dates on the stones. Students discover the susceptibility of different rock types to weathering.

Students calculate the values of electron binding energies. In this physics lesson plan, students solve for different wavelength characteristics of X-rays. They present their findings to the class.

Students design a program to make an automated vehicle perform a specific task. For this robotics lesson, students play the role of scientists competing to win a factory's contract. They present their algorithm to class.

Students build their own wind turbine. In this physics lesson, students calculate the power output of their wind turbines. They evaluate their design and make the necessary modifications.

Learners choose an interesting problem related to space travel and then design a plan to solve the problem. They present their solution to the class.

Third graders create a timeline of inventions and inventors made out of light colored bulletin board paper.

Students discuss Restoration Ecology. They see that restoration can mean removing invasive, non-native plants and replacing them with native plants grown by Students.

Second graders, with adult help, create a PowerPoint presentation on a selected ocean animal.

Learners examine two images of rocks, make their own observations of individual rocks through drawing, and explain how the same observation skills can be used in the study of geology.

Students examine the role of science and technology in World War II. They discover how some inventions have changed to meet society's need after the war was over. They visit the museum to complete the lesson.

Students investigate the factors that affect the induced current in a loop of wire. They discuss Faraday's Law and Lenz's Law. Students identify the different variables that affect the magnetic flux and calculate the magnetic flux...

Young scholars make observations and present interpretations based on their observations and on their prior knowledge. They use images to answer questions and make formulate hypotheses.

Eighth graders measure temperature, wind speed and pressure using Skymaster SM-28. In this earth science lesson plan, 8th graders collect data and record observations taken from outdoors. They explain why numerical values are different...

First graders explore properties of wood used to make cultural items and make a ring and stick game.

Students learn about remote sensing in terms of what it is and how it is used.

Students compare rates to altitude. They conduct a class discussion about the results.

Fourth graders view a Newton's Apple show that explores glider mechanics, explore the four forces, build and fly a glider to specific guidelines. They adjust the glider for greater accuracy and distance using four forces, and assess...
