In this scientific statements worksheet, students are given 35 statements and they are to identify if each statement is a fact, law, hypothesis, theory or belief.

Students will use scientific reasoning to formulate ideas about the formation of the universe using the Big Bang Theory. The use of critical thinking skills is part of the activity and the foundation of the scientific method will serve...

Young learners apply divisibility rules to determine if a number is a factor of another number. They discuss what numbers are factors of another number and identify patterns using divisibility rules.

In this scientific notation learning exercise, students solve a total of 10 problems, writing numbers given in problems using scientific notation, then numbers given in scientific notation in standard form.

Students explore visual perception and how objects change as distance changes. In this distance and vision lesson, students practice their scientific inquiry skills. Students practice drawing objects from different points of view in...

Students apply information regarding simple machines along with the math concept "ratios." The teacher introduces the concept that technology is the application of scientific knowledge and mathematics concepts to solve a problem. This is...

Students investigate the dangers of radiation by exploring recent nuclear tragedies.  For this scientific debate lesson, students define the idea of radiation "half life" and determine if low doses of radiation are truly damaging to...

In this algebra worksheet, 9th graders define rational and irrational numbers and answer questions about properties of real numbers. There are 38 questions on this test.

Students explore physics by participating in a flight experiment. In this rocket design lesson plan, students discuss the scientific process and how chemical reaction can create the energy needed to boost a rocket. Students utilize...

Students conduct scientific investigation in which they observe glacial effects on landscape, develop and explain their own theories of how glaciers change land, and demonstrate understanding and explain basic motion and force principles.

Students discover the importance of knots to mathematicians in developing scientific theories. In small groups, they examine knots and make obeservations about them. Students discuss the ways to distinguish knots and make lists of...

Learners explain various scientific laws used in SCUBA diving. In this theory based lesson, students examine and explain how temperature, density, and salinity relate to SCUBA diving using various scientific laws to engage their learning.

Students read the novel, The Time Machine, and compare H.G. Well's perceptions of the future with those presented in The Third Wave, by Alvin Toffler. They research current scientific and mathematical theories that relate to space and time.

Learners experiment with traits. In this Science lesson, students test the strength of beetles using M&M candies in lieu of the insects. Learners use the Hardy-Weinberg Equation to calculate possible offspring traits of further...

Sixth graders identify and describe the composition and physical properties of the layers of the Earth. They also explain how scientists used the scientific process to know about the center of the Earth. Finally, 6th graders read a...

Upper graders examine the concept of probability. They collect data and create a bar graph. They must interpret the data as well. Everyone engages in hands-on games and activities which lead them to predict possible outcomes for a...

Here's a workshop for teachers that rocks the academic world! Using earthquakes as a medium for instruction, educators learn about crosscutting engineering with science. Fun, hands-on, collaborative exercises encourage participants to...

Weathering is not necessarily a result of the weather. Scholars conduct an experiment to explore the effect of surface area and volume on the weathering process. They create their own sugar cube rocks using the same number of cubes—but...

Students calculate the radius of the earth. They use the method and data suggested by Eratosthenes. They investigate the interrelationships among mass, distance, force, and time through experimental processes.

Upper graders explore the Fibonacci sequence. They examine the characteristics of the Fibonacci sequence, list the properties of the sequence and determine how it connects to Pythagorean Triples. Related thinking questions are included.

Students develop an understanding of the concept of matter. They l participate actively in the bubble raft experiment as described on the Center for Thermal Spray Research's website. They demonstrate dislocations and grain...

Students analyze the amount of space required to pack round objects. In this geometry activity, students practice using space economically by practicing packing spheres into beakers. They then translate this concept to molecules being...

In this magnetic reconnection learning exercise, students solve seven problems using the data and graphs from the THEMIS satellite constellations, which show a series of events triggered by a magnetic reconnection. Students interpret the...

Eighth graders list the steps of Darwin's natural selection. They demonstrate the process of natural selection in a predation activity. Students create paper origami frogs to race across the floor and analyze the differences in the...
