Students investigate the formation of infrared images. In this physics lesson, students discuss the different application of infrared imaging technology. They compare this to images formed by visible light.

Students are in scattered formation within the playing area. The activity begins with all of students being "it". They move about the general space tagging various classmates while avoiding being tagged.

Students explore the different properties of waves. In this physics lesson, students differentiate mechanical and electromagnetic waves. They explore each lab station and write their observation about the wave behavior they see.

Students play an activity similar to tag. After the teacher sets up cones to designate boundaries, students receive a bean bag and scatter in the playing area.

Students compare and contrast the properties of substances and mixtures. In this chemistry lesson plan, students simulate spontaneous mixing by performing a short class activity. They differentiate heterogeneous and homogeneous...

Students identify the different sources of radiation around us. In this physics lesson plan, students calculate their estimated radiation exposure per year. They research a current issue about radiation.

Third graders will gain recognition that physical relationships affect each other and that change occurs when one object acts upon another.The teacher will recognize ways in which technology can be used to enhance the understanding of...

Sixth graders list the different forms of energy. In this physics lesson plan, 6th graders identify what form of energy a certain object possess. They explain the law of conservation of energy.

Students investigate the characteristics of different soil samples. In this physical science lesson, students play the role of forensics solving a crime by matching soil from the suspect's shoes. They formulate a conclusion after testing...

Pupils investigate the law of reflection by using mirrors. In this physics lesson, students operate a robot using IR controllers. They explain the path of light as it reflects through a surface.

Students research and appreciate non-traditional games and activities that were played (and are still played) in our inner cities. They give presentations on stick ball, handball, off the wall, and stoop ball and invent their own game...

In this trial activity worksheet for the novel Fahrenheit 451, students participate in a trial for Guy Montag. Students follow the seven directions to complete the trial activity.

Students participate in different types of dances in which they explore time, action and other elements of dancing. They dance with a group or a partner and explore how to work together.

In this sport learning exercise, students complete a set of 8 questions about sports. Answers are included on page 2. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this Lord of the Flies worksheet, students read Lord of the Flies and participate in a trial for the people vs. Jack Merridew. Students follow the steps to complete the trial activity.

Students classify rocks as sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic based on physical properties. In this earth science lesson, students recreate the rock cycle using a set of stones placed on labeled shower curtain. They explain the...

Students identify different wave types and their characteristics.  For this wave lesson students complete activities by activating tuning forks and interpreting data. 

Sixth graders read about the different types of Humanoid. They examine the different cultural beliefs and their own personal beliefs about evolution. They research the species using the scientific theory about evolution.

Students analyze various types of natural disasters and discover techniques man uses to live with nature and to control nature. They are able to identify ways that man has learned to predict natural disasters; identify ways that man has...

Students identify the characteristics and composition of emulsions. In this chemistry lesson, students classify household products according to emulsion type. They explain how to make the best emulsion.

Young scholars explore signs and types of bullying. In this "building character" lesson, students listen to several read alouds based on a bully theme. Four groups are formed to discuss "gossip", "exclusion", "physical bullying", and...

Tenth graders explore the structure and content of galaxies. Through discussion, lab, and hands-on activities, they discover the general structure of the three types of galaxies as well as the effect they have on the structure and...

Learners explain the concepts of what DNA is and where it is located in a cell, identify the two types of molecules that make up the rungs of a DNA molecule and identify the two types of Purine and Pyrimidine molecules

Students participate in a culminating activity for a unit on Energy and Simple Machines. They are challenged to incorporate simple machines in to a complex mechanical system. While designing and testing their machine they will also...
