Students investigate Newton's Third Law of Motion. In this Newton's Third Law of Motion lesson, students explore the law in the real world. Students break down the definition for understanding and do an experiment using a balloon.

Students experiment with buoyancy as a force. In this buoyancy instructional activity, students access an assigned website to examine the sailing vessels that came to the New World. They work as teams to build boats out of aluminum foil...

Third graders experiment with coins and water to explore light rays.  In this light and water lesson, 3rd graders work in pairs to observe what happens with a coin in water or how it appears based on the density of the water....

Students conduct a simple experiment to determine if a trait has been passed from a family member to them.

Fifth graders find examples of magnets in or around their homes and make a list. They discover that some motors use magnets and make a simple motor using magnets, a battery and copper wire. They add to their magnet list.

Fifth graders observe and conduct a variety of experiments to differentiate between physical and chemical changes. They mix cabbage juice with different liquids and record their observations on a chart. Students write down their...

High schoolers investigate the concept of diffusion through a membrane. They do this through the conduction of a simple experiment. Students make observations while determining if the smell of different chemicals seeps through the...

Students explore the numerous functions of cells in both plants and animals. Following a pre-assessment, they construct cell models and examine onion cell slides stained with iodine or dye. After participating in experiments on how to...

In this science worksheet, students read about how scientists determine the total number of fish in a population. Students also participate in a related math activity.

In this endothermic and exothermic reactions worksheet, students experiment with water and a salt of choice to determine if heat is absorbed or released in the reaction. Students take the temperature of their solution over a 2 minute...

Young scholars analyze how clouds form. In this cloud formation lesson, students brainstorm types of clouds and what they think they're made of. Young scholars conduct an experiment to see how clouds form and discuss their observations....

Explore the sun's ability to distill contaminated water with this simple set of classroom experiments. After filling two glass bowls, one with muddy water and the other with salt water, they are covered with plastic wrap and placed...

Students discuss soil understanding that is is often overlooked as a natural resource. In this science instructional activity, students recognize that we depend on it for energy in the form of foods. Students experiment with six boxes of...

Students examine solar, hydrogen, electric power. In this research based lesson, students will do simple investigations, view videos, discuss, and research how these three types of energy are used for power. They illustrate a...

Middle schoolers conduct various experiments to explore the concepts that static electricity is the cause of lightning.

Students perform experiments to determine the PH, acidity, and buffering qualities of a lake that make them sensitive to acid deposition.

In this light worksheet, students construct a pinhole viewer using a paper box, wax paper, tape and a pushpin. They answer six questions about their observations, the orientation of the images they saw, and the results of their experiment.

In this absolute zero activity, students experiment with a closed-end syringe and a ice bath and boiling water. They record volumes of gases in the syringe as well as temperatures of the water and they plot their experimental data. They...

Students observe the production of gas as an effect of photosynthesis. In this biology instructional activity, students perform an experiment with pondweed and make measurements and predictions about photosynthesis and the plant.

In this carbon cycle lesson plan, middle schoolers review the carbon cycle and visit stations in the room where they experience every phase in the carbon cycle. Students journal about their journey through the cycle and brainstorm...

Third graders discover the properties of electromagnets through experiments. In this electromagnet properties lesson, 3rd graders complete six tasks with an elctromagnet.  Students recognize that the wires will heat up when...

Middle schoolers conduct experiments. In this weather lesson, students review what they know about weather elements such as cloud formation and storms. Middle schoolers conduct demonstrations and learn how lightning strikes.

Students conduct a variety of experiments related to solar energy, heating, cooling, gravity, physical insulation and wind. They consider how the experiments relate to energy and the consumption of energy and then participate in a class...

How are bubbles made? A simple experiment involving the construction of bubbles is available in this lab instructional activity. A fun activity prompts pairs of learners to use dish soap in order to make bubbles. They keep track of the...
