In this science worksheet, students read about the Hydrologic Cycle. Students use the reading and a diagram to answer 2 comprehension questions.

What is technology and how can it help us? Using a activity, students read a list and choose practical applications of scientific knowledge, brainstorm examples of home, school and hospital technology, graph answers in a pie chart, and...

Pupils read articles about wetland ecosystem conservation in Florida and other countries. They summarize information found in the articles. Students reflect on the information in the articles and write their feelings.

Sixth graders study about alternate energy sources and discuss with their neighbor how alternative energy sources affect environmental conditions so that an entire species could be affected.

Young scholars investigate alternative catalysts for the degradation of hydrogen peroxide.  In this fermentation lesson plan students complete an activity that breaks down cellulose into sugar. 

Second graders describe how energy moves from the Sun to the photovoltaic cell to the wire and to the load. In this solar cell simulation lesson, 2nd graders demonstrate the movement of photons and electrons to emulate how solar energy...
