Super detailed, this lesson will educate physical science learners about the flow of electrons. Begin by reviewing potential and kinetic energy with a moving pendulum, and then get them online to observe interactive websites about...

In this atom worksheet, students answer 31 multiple choice questions about the structure of atoms, the periodic table, the reactivity of elements, orbital diagrams and the families of elements.

In this periodic table worksheet, students complete a chart with the appropriate element symbol, the atomic mass and the atomic number. They classify elements by their groups and as metals, nonmetals or semi-metals. They also answer two...

Students identify the difference between eukaryote and prokaryotes and examine the structure of bacteria.  In this bacteria lesson students examine the different ways that bacteria are classified through an activity. 

Young scholars study cellular structures and functions.  For this cell function lesson students participate in a class discussion then make a drawing of the cell they are discussing. 

Learners correlate a series of items with the organelles of a cell. They compare the school to a cell, and create a drawing that compares the cell structure with their home.

In this atom worksheet, students will complete 8 fill in the blank statements based on the different parts of an atom. Then students will explain how the arrangement of electrons in an atom is related to the periodic table.

Students identify the parts of plant and animal cells, how samples can be obtained and what the differences are.

If you're finishing up a unit on cells, here's a great project to get kids collaborating and recalling what they've learned in a fun and tangible way. Small groups create plant or animal cells out of materials they have at home. They use...

Delve into the world of quantum mechanics by viewing this PowerPoint. Chemistry novices learn about electron energy and shells, and they practice listing electron configuration for different atoms. Because this presentation provides...

With a multitude of questions, this worksheet offers students the opportunity to review their knowledge about the cell cycle. Question types include true/false, word bank, and completing a table about the differences between interphase...

Students examine the periodic table and how it was developed.  In this chemistry instructional activity students identify common properties and uses of elements within a family. 

In this physics worksheet, students develop an understanding of the atomic model and how atoms relate to one another through answering the seven questions.

High schoolers conduct a series of activities to explore the nature of cells. In this biology lesson plan, students observe plant and animal cells under the microscope and compare them. They differentiate osmosis and diffusion.

In this Euglena and Spirogyra learning exercise, students read about these two Protozoans and they answer fourteen questions about their specified structures and functions. They color a diagram of Euglena and Spirogyra and label their...

In this atomic structure learning exercise, students solve twelve problems related to wavelength, frequency, electron transitions, emission spectra and quantum number.

Sixteen ounces of honey requires more than 1,000 bees traveling over 100,000 miles and visiting 4.5 million flowers. The presentation includes sexual reproduction in plants, the parts and functions of a flower,...

It has been decades since the discovery of DNA. Still, activities such building this DNA model allow blossoming scientists to better understand the components that form this overall structure. During this activity, they will also...

Sixth graders explore the damage associated with an earthquake by designing a structure that can withstand earthquake intensities on a shaker board. They then view tips for preparing for an earthquake, and what...

Here is a set of pre-lab, lab, and post-lab lesson plans on plate tectonics. After completing the previous labs on volcanoes and earthquakes, sixth graders use the gained knowledge to explore plate boundaries and the movement of...

Students use the Internet to research the history of the splitting of the atom. They use that research to prepare a presentation on an aspect of that topic. A map is generated to record findings and results.

In this science puzzle activity, students solve a crossword puzzle related to matter. For example, "Scientist who discovered protons."

Students demonstrate that isotopes of an element have different masses. They illustrate atomic mass and neutrons. The periodic table is examined in length. Display of a collection of atoms is surveyed.

Students study atoms and their protons and neutrons.  In this physical setting instructional activity students work together to complete a lab activity.
