Students collect data about energy usage and use mathematical calculations to analyze their data. In this energy conservation and statistics math activity, students survey their homes to complete an energy usage worksheet. Students...

Learners identify 3-D geometric shapes through different pieces of artwork. They examine and identify segments and angles. Students act out shapes and create a piece of artwork. Additional cross curriculum activities are listed.

Students build a solar oven. In this Science lesson plan, students construct a functional solar oven. Students design the oven and explain the energy concepts involved.

Students construct and compare the actions of various pendulums. In this pendulum motion lesson plan, students build and test different types of pendulums. They conduct experiments with the length of the swing arm and apply mathematical...

Let there be light. The last installment of a seven-part series has pupils conduct an experiment on light attenuation through different numbers of transparency sheets. They then relate the results back to how X-rays measure bone density.

Fourth graders design a contraption, which contains five different examples of simple machines and works without intervention. They sketch designs and label its parts. They present their creations to the class and relate them to Rube...

Students explore sound waves by conducting an experiment in class. In this sound frequency lesson plan, students utilize a tuning fork in class and identify which objects in class create different sound pitches on the fork. Students...
