Third graders solve a cryptogram by decoding a message written with wingdings.  In this decoding lesson, 3rd graders solve a message related to magnetism.  Students have notes about magnets once they've finished.

Students introduced to word processing by having them open a new document and use at least three to five commands within the program. Word processing commands are reinforced and practiced to gain more knowledge about entering and...

Fifth graders complete four different experiments in classroom stations to investigate how magnets attract and repel.

Students investigate pulleys and see how they have a mechanical advantage in lifting heavy loads.  In this pulley lesson students make a hypothesis, complete and experiment then complete a worksheet. 

Students examine what an electroscope is and who invented it.  In this electrical lesson students build their own Emergency Radiation detector Electroscope.

Students conduct an experiment. In this emergency response lesson, students watch videos about hurricanes and discuss the difference between natural disasters and man-made disasters. Students perform a hurricane demonstration and...

Students listen to a lecture on broken bones. They review the proper first aid techniques and practice setting splints on one another. They observe X-rays and animal bones.

High schoolers examine energy use and the different construction materials used in their home.  In this sustainable choices instructional activity students study different materials and what a sound environmental choice would be. 

Second graders investigate and explore sound energy. They investigate how the vibrational motion moves through matter in waves. Students describe sounds and vibrations. They observe that vibrational motion creates sounds. Students record...

For this Earth worksheet, students read about Earth's gravity, the reason the Earth has seasons, and time zones. Then students complete 21 multiple choice, 2 true or false, and 1 short answer question.

In this physics worksheet, students complete short answer questions about physics concepts such as electricity, space, light, and more. Students complete 20 short answer questions.

Students consider how tools and machines can make work easier. They examine specific tools for making work easier.

Students examine the weather. They discover the conflict between man and nature caused by the changes in weather and the impact it has upon their lives. Students explore weather folklore. They write a report on the weather. ...

Students study Rube Goldberg machines.  In this investigative lesson students design and build a machine that uses several steps to move an aluminum can. 

Second graders explore energy and motion. They investigate how sound energy moves in waves. Students explore how sounds are varied and how the instruments that make those sounds are built. They observe sounds being produced and predict...

Young scholars collect real data on sound. For this algebra lesson, students use a CBL and graphing calculator to observe the graph created by sound waves. They draw conclusion about the frequency of sound from the graph.

Students see how valves and pumps work in concert to move blood through the circulatory system.

Seventh graders become more familiar with how our food is broken down mechanically and chemically. They also trace the food through the alimentary canal.

In this chemistry worksheet, students complete 29 fill in the bank questions about atoms based on the movie Exploring Atoms from the website www.brainpop.com .

Pupils discuss how simple machines have made our lives easier and construct a compound machine. In this machines lesson plan, students watch a video on machines, look at websites, and follow task cards in order to make a simple machine.

Students use FoilSim (downloadable) to determine how lift is affected by varying parameters on the Airfoil simulation.

Students investigate the relationship between potential and kinetic energy. For this energy lesson students investigate the height a ball will bounce when dropped from various heights.

Students study the solar system by researching the planets.  In this exploratory lesson students divide into teams and create mobiles.

Students identify a technological innovation associated with human migration, either forced or voluntary. They explain how the migration was influenced by technology and how technology influences migration through a written essay.
