Young scholars explain the concepts of kinetic and potential energy and how it can change forms.  For this energy, motion, and frictional forces lesson students participate in a hands on activity that includes calculating energy.

Pupils identify the functions of packaging food and how the designs work.  For this food packaging lesson students identify the changes that occur in different types of materials. 

Students study concepts associated with light. In this light lesson, students observe an demonstration by the teacher. They examine reflection and refraction of light and name things that reflect light and those that refract it. They...

Students examine the basics about soil.  In this soil lesson students describe the physical properties of soil and explain what soil profile is. 

Students study asteroids and how their size relates to a possible danger of one colliding with Earth.  In this asteroids lesson students see how big an asteroid has to be to cause destruction to Earth. 

Young scholars develop a painless means for identifying cancerous tumors.  In this imaging lesson students list the information that may be needed to answer the problem.

Students explain what biodiversity is and how adaptive features are maintained in a population.  In this biodiversity lesson students complete a simple activity involving mouse populations.

Students research aerodynamic design. In this aerodynamic design lesson, students investigate wind resistance on a car. Students explore the reasons necessary for aerodynamic design.

Pupils explore the use of lasers. In this "lasers" science and career education lesson, students search the Internet to find uses for lasers and make a list of companies that use or produce lasers. Pupils complete a lasers and making...

Students discuss imagery, develop image outlines about events in their lives, find images online that support their ideas, and create stained glass windows that tell stories about those events in their lives using photo or paint program.

Young scholars explore energy by completing an electricity worksheet. In this conductors lesson, students define the energy related vocabulary terms circuit, electronics, conductor and semi-conductor before examining computer chips in...

Students are shown the very basics of navigation. The concepts of relative and absolute location, latitude, longitude and cardinal directions are discussed, as well as the use and principles of a map and compass.

Students explore wind energy by making a pinwheel to model a wind turbine. They experiment with their turbine by placing it in different locations for optimal energy.

Students examine how infrared works with everyday items. In this investigative lesson, students examine how we use infrared in household items. They will conduct an experiment to create an infrared remote that works around corners as...

Students investigate how to read a topographical map and triangulate with just a map. They convert a compass measurement to a protractor measurement, reverse a bearing direction, and using a worksheet take a bearing of certain landmarks...

Students study different ways of using solar energy. They design a solar water heater and determine how much water it can heat in a set amount of time. They examine how the heaters work by solar radiation and convection.
