Students examine scientific evidence of changes in the Arctic ice cover. They participate in a simulation of an international conference and debate the relationship between global warming and changes in the arctic ice cover.

Fourth graders construct a habitat which allows them to observe the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly. They place a plate on the bottom of the cylinder to serve as a landing platform. They use the cage for keeping adult...

Students explore the concept of making ice cream. In this ice cream lesson, students convert an ice cream recipe from metric units to English units. Students then make ice cream from the recipe they converted.

Seventh graders trace a piece of food through the digestive system. They describe the functions of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, etc.

Young scholars investigate the current model for the structure of the Earth. On a world map, they mark areas where they think earthquakes and volcanoes occur and compare those areas with earthquake and volcano location patterns.

Seventh graders trace a piece of food through the alimentary canal and differentiate between mechanical and chemical digestion in several different hands-on activities related to digestion.

Students investigate the gas laws and how they apply to changes in gases. In this gas laws lesson, students use Boyle's Law and Charles' law to show the relationships between pressure and volume and volume and temperature of gases.

Students investigate the pigments in Magic Markers using chromatography. In this paper chromatography lesson plan, students use absorbent paper and mark the strip with a Magic Marker. They place the strip in a solvent and observe the...

Learners discover hazards related to volcanoes and predict the effects these hazards have on people and land. As blossoming geologists explore various volcanic eruptions, including the hazards associated with them, they...

Students demonstrate the scientific method by conducting an ice cube melting experiment. They make predictions and observations, and conclude what factors make ice melt more slowly or quickly than normal.

In this lesson, students investigate the phenomenon of sound! Students compare and contrast how sound travels through solids, liquids, and gases. They explain how length and thickness affect sound. Students know the difference between...

Students identify the factors that affect viscosity of substances. In this chemistry lesson, students define what viscosity is in their own words. They give real world applications of viscosity.

Students discuss and compare what type of fluids will fill up a beaker first. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate between pouring glue and water and which will fill the beaker first. They discuss the viscosity of each fluid.

Students are introduced to basic outdoor survival concepts. They identify the seven basic needs for survival. Students describe the symptoms and treatment for frostbite and hypothermia. They compare and contrast the value of different...

Students investigate bird beaks to determine which physical adaptations are necessary based on the types of food the birds eat. They participate in a lab by visiting multiple stations to determine which beaks are most efficient, and...

Young scholars analyze satellite image data of Volcan Villarica. In this earth science lesson, students identify dangerous areas surrounding the volcano. They propose a new safe location for the town.

In this seafloor spreading activity, students use 12 given terms to complete sentences about the layers of the Earth and the components of the layers of the Earth.

Students discover how paint is made, then create their own paint which they will use to create a picture. After witnessing the processes of emulsion and suspension, students work in groups to create their own paint, and then create...

Students create a quick sand model using cornflour and water. In this earth science lesson, students explain why stirring the mixture quickly makes it thick but the opposite happens when you stir it slowly.

Fifth graders observe how water changes phase through a teacher-led demo. In this earth science lesson, 5th graders relate the demo to the water cycle. They draw and label each stage of the cycle.

In this science worksheet, learners answer the trivia questions that focus upon various planets of our solar system. They also define what a star is.

Students create their own clay sculpture with imaginary or realistic animal features. After drawing at least three sketches, they complete an animal sculpture brainstorming activity. They identify functions of pre-Columbian animal...

Second graders explain that we use our senses to make observations and that the observations often describe properties of an object or substance. They make oobleck, then perform a series of tests on it.
