Students act as chief research scientists with the responsibility of testing a new drug. Students design a controlled experiment to test a hypothetical experimental drug. Students write a clear, concise, and detailed plan to present to a...

Learners enter information and compare relationships that they are measuring.

Students become familiar with common microorganisms and experience exploring the microbial world.

Students design a research project about a Marine Protected Area they chose. In this marine biology lesson plan, students gather fish count and catch data then graph them. They create an information poster about their findings.

Second graders determine the ways in which deciduous trees lose their leaves by investigating fallen leaves and how the weather changes throughout the seasons. They obtain knowledge about why and what causes the weather to change...

Students collect water samples from designated sampling stations, and discuss water pollution. They analyze the water samples, record the data on a spreadsheet, and present the environmental water quality data to the class.

Students research the nutritional value of fast food. They assess which fast foods are best and worst to eat. They organize their data into tables and graphs and explain their findings to other students.

Pupils use the Internet to gather information about dinosaurs. They practice navagating through the different websites. They also practice listening to directions and also explore how to fill out a KWL chart.

Students create a biosphere using the computer program SImEarth. They work in small groups to create "Daisyworld" in which they model aspects of the Gaia hypothesis. They form a question to answer and choose variables to investigate in...

Pupils graph data on fetal and infant mortality rates collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They identify trends in the data and propose potential causes for the trends.

Ninth graders complete a unit of lessons on ecosystems, organism interactions, and energy flow. They create a key for known species of fish, diagram the movement of energy through an ecosystem, and create and present food chains and food...

Students explore the DNA of strawberries. In this science lesson, students extract the DNA of strawberries. Students complete a lab report.

Students design a visualization to illustrate the role of the protein kinesin in exocytosis of a secretory material in a directed manner.

Learners, through this series of lessons, use local resources, speakers, print and video materials, as well as standard text materials to study the ecosystem of the local watershed.

Students create a trail with numbered specimens. Students complete an accurate and functional interactive trail activity brochure. They complete a web page tree identification guide and interactive identification activity. Students...

Fourth graders view a teacher-made PowerPoint presentation on how photoelectric devices work, and then they answer FCAT-like questions on the material presented. They answer questions about what they viewed in an assignment imbedded in...

Sixth graders collect soil samples and record the location of the samples by using GPS.

Sixth graders test the ph levels of water from three different water environments within the Neponset River Watershed. They discuss the three different water environments, take pH measurements of the three samples, and predict which...

Learn how you can test a hypothesis with the scientific method by reading this article.

Learners learn about the scientific method by planning an experiment to test a hypothesis. Their hypothesis should be based on a common pseudo-science or alternative health treatment topic. Students will compare their designs with other...
