Students work to improve their programming skills by programming model cars to drive through a tunnel, turn on its headlights and then extinguish the lights as the car exits the tunnel.

Quantum tunneling plays an important role in nuclear fusion, the energy source of the sun. This simulation explores tunneling, double wells, and covalent bonds by allowing individuals to manipulate potential and total energy to learn...

Use a Courbet painting of a cave or tunnel opening to reinforce the importance of descriptive writing. Writers of all ages use sensory details to describe what the scene depicts as they pretend to be in the painting. Then they imagine...

Which is more likely: 130 children followed a magical piper out of Hamelin and disappeared forever, or that they died of the plague? Or could they have escaped from Hamelin via a secret tunnel to Transylvania? Learners investigate...

Students investigate how many seasons it would take for wind to disperse seeds one mile downwind from an initial growth of one spotted knapweed plant. They construct and use a wind tunnel as part of their experiment and graph their results.

Students engage in a hands-on experiment to determine how launch angles affect airflow around the wing of an aircraft. They view a series of photographs and read information describing the Wright Brothers' experiences. They complete a...

Ninth graders research early mining in California. They study the "placer method" for mining gold, which is surface mining that does not involve tunneling. They examine what it was like for the early miners to pan for gold with...

Students use funnels and create tunnels. In this early childhood lesson plan, students begin to understand science and math concepts such as flow, force, gravity, and volume and develop skills in areas such as problem solving and...

Students build plant growing structures. In this plant growth lesson, students plant growth structures such as a garden tepee or a crawl through tunnel. They grow plants that are appropriate for the structure.

Get the class up and going with a instructional activity that discusses how airplane wings provide lift. Pupils use their knowledge of Bernoulli's Principle to develop an explanation of how it creates lift on airplane wings.

Students work together to complete different building challenges. They use prior knowledge to build tunnels and different types of bridges. They share their creations with the group.

Students identify shapes that match specific shape descriptions involving a range of geometric terms and correct polygon names. They utilize a mathematics educational software program to gain practice.

For this maze worksheet, learners figure out the most efficient way to help a mole find its way through a tunnel through a maze.

Students listen to the story Ant Cities by Arthur Dorros, and discuss the ways that ants are similar to people. They create a butcher paper mural of an ant colony that includes hills, tunnels, rooms, grass and sky.

Design the best from the best. Groups work together to come up with the best configuration of different variables that affect a wind turbine. The teams choose from several variables such as the number of blades, the angle of the blades,...

Young scholars develop an ant colony that adults and children can visit. Students create different areas including places where tourists can view live ants, play ant games, research facts about ants, and create ant art. Young scholars...

Students build mine-earthworm habitats to discover their niche in them. They make predictions about what the niche looks like in a week and draw a picture of it. Students notice the tunnels in the soil and how the sand and dirt are now...

In this reading and field trip response worksheet, students read a description of the Wookey Hole caves that includes the dimensions, the chambers, the tunnels, and facts about the River Axe. They answer 7 short answer questions based on...

Students use the Metric system and engineering software to design a scale model car. For this scale model car making lesson, students design a scale model car using computer software, the Metric system, and properties of aerodynamics....

Fourth graders write cinquain poems showing an understanding that people cannot outrun trains. They examine safety messages concerning tunnels, bridges and trains.

Fifth graders read "Tunnel Music" and then explore how words and spacing in a poem affects how the poem sounds.

Students build Lego cars with attached light sensors. They program the car to enter a tunnel and reverse out when it records a darker light reading.

Students investigate the force of drag and how NASA engineers use models and glowing paints to examine how air flows over vehicles in a wind tunnel. They discover how the blended wing body will affect air travelers of the future.

Students view and discuss a demonstration of how gold is mined and panned. They design and create a tunnel that has reinforcements to withstand collapse.
