Young chefs choose from a variety of ingredients to prepare a snack. Using soft peeled fruit, juice, crushed ice, sugar, dried fruit, dry ceral and nuts, learners experiment and make their own concoctions. This lesson plan would be...

Pupils examine the potential impact of climate change to agriculture, coastal areas, forests, water, and human health. They hypothesize what might happen to a sugar maple forest and hold a debate about global warming.

Beginning biologists prepare a sugar solution for yeast cells to live in, and divide it into two different jars. Samples from each jar are viewed with a microscope, and then one jar is placed in a warm environment and the other a cold...

How do plants and animals get their food? Learn about where energy comes from, how animals store energy, and aerobic respiration, in a instructional activity that allows scholars to diagram energy flows. 

Students will review orally the sounds used in the Oneida, review orally sugar camp vocabulary and phrases, attend sugar camp and identify equipment/objects in the language teach vocabulary/commands to younger students, while walking...

Students increase their knowledge base of the maple syrup process and increase their skills of organization, technology, research, teamwork-cooperation, and oral presentation. Students use a team approach to choose a topic pertaining to...

In this rock cycle worksheet, students simulate the changes that occur during the rock cycle using a sugar cube. They use the sugar cube to represent a rock and perform changes on the sugar cube that represent the stages of the rock cycle.

In this weathering and wind worksheet, students simulate the effects of weathering by wind using 2 canisters, 2 types of sandpaper and 2 sugar cubes. Students swirl the sugar cubes inside the canisters lined with fine and course...

Fourth graders observe and demonstrate the physical change of dissolving sugar in water and evaporating the water to examine the physical change that has occurred. They discuss physical changes and solutions, and make rock candy,...

In this modeling the rock cycle worksheet, students use a sugar cube to show the phases and changes in the rock cycle as represented by the changes in the sugar cube. For each step of the experiment students indicate the part of the rock...
