In this plate tectonics worksheet, students answer questions about plate movement, the types of boundaries, the history of Earth's crusts and plate tectonics. They use an on line source to get their answers.

Students use the Internet to examine earthquakes. They discover the theory of tectonic plates and analyze faults throughout the world. They also examine the science of seismology to explain how earthquakes are measured.

Students explore changes in air transportation from 1920 to the present. In this air flight lesson plan, students are introduced to the history of air transportation. This lesson plan contains three different activities that will...

Young scholars design a model watershed. In this watershed instructional activity, students learn the needed parts of a watershed and how they work. Young scholars evaluate how watersheds effect communities.

In this data worksheet, learners match information with the best type of graph to display it. Students also make a chart and graph to display information in a given paragraph.

Students collect data on the weather, graph and analyze it. In this algebra lesson, students interpret maps and are able to better plan their days based on the weather reading. They make predictions based on the type of clouds they see.

Students explore the issues that might arise if humans were to go on an interstellar space mission. They synthesize their understanding of interstellar travel by writing scenes from a science fiction novel that would depict such a mission.

In this memory activity, students learn about three different ways to memorize given information. They make up phrases to help remember lists and they create mental maps to remember terms. They put what they learned to the test and...

In this science worksheet, students select twenty-five scientists from the list to fill in their bingo card. Then they match each of the scientists listed to their correct description strip.

Students design and build an ecologically balanced living space based on the principles of an old growth forest. They take one part of a house (or structure in the community) and redesign it according to the principles of the forest cycle.

Learners create a model to explore the water cycle. Students also perform different experiments to witness water changing from a liquid to a gas. Learners are asked to if they can find ways for water to go away without pouring the...

Students participate in a simulation activity that examines the economic impact of the construction of a reservoir-both the positive and negative side.

High schoolers investigate the concept of planetary differentiation. They complete an experiment to simulate it using gelatin and food. The lesson includes vocabulary to increase reading comprehension skills as part of the inquiry. The...

Eighth graders discuss the four major cycles of matter. In this general science lesson, 8th graders decide which of the four is the most important. They share their opinion in class.

Students speculate how a location can develop into a large town. They investigate the physical resources and how populations can grow. There are guiding questions to help students through the research and class discussion. Students make...
