Middle schoolers examine how the movements of bones are dependent on the interaction of pairs of muscles. They design and construct a prototype of an artificial limb using a syringe system, and determine whether water or air makes the...

Ninth graders compare the nature of forces of gravity, lift, thrust, and drag. They select proper materials for making a kite and attach a proper tail. Students interpret and summarize the observations made during the flight of the kites.

Third graders demonstrate that gravity is a force.

Students discover how air can move things by using their breath. In this physics lesson, students hypothesize then attempt to move a pencil 1 meter using nothing but their breath. Students record data from their experiment including...

A summary of the science between gravity.  Your students will find the resources links useful and the definition summaries relevant. This slideshow could be used to accompany a lecture or even for independent study.

What have US-Japanese relations been like since the conclusion of World War II? Why do some commentators identify Japan's postwar years as a subordinate independence? Invite your young historians to research Japan's status in the world...

Sixth graders use the Internet and other media to locate and collect information about Mars and build a database of information. They listen and participate in demonstrations presented by Eglin Air Force Base professionals. They then are...

Build literacy through social studies and reading strategies. This lesson plan focuses on using pre-reading, vocabulary building, and comprehension questions to boost literacy while educating learners on international trade, NAFTA, and...

Students watch a demonstration to ascertain why a soda can crushed. They make observations and hypothesize about why a soda can crushed and relate the difference in pressure to its affect on objects around us (soda can). Explanation is...

Students discuss ways they can help protect the environment. In groups, they examine various types of animals and identify their characteristics, food and habitats are compared. They create a Hyperstudio presentation in which they scan...

Students investigate attacks on Falluja. In this Iraq conflict lesson, students visit slelected Web sites to determine what insurgents are and why they have targeted Falluja. Students also take an in depth look at Operation Braken in...

Students actively look and listen as their teacher provides transparencies to show how the atmosphere is made up of layers. In this atmosphere lesson plan, students discuss the atmosphere in terms of layers and how gravity pulls...

Students investigate the force of gravity and how it effects different objects that are put into acceleration when applied the experiment of free falling. They drop different objects that have a variety of masses and some that cause air...

Students will examine the physics of flight through using experimental inquiry. In this lesson, you'll introduce your students to the four forces of flight--drag, lift, thrust, and weight--through a variety of fun-filled flight...

Students explore the human body by conducting an exercise in class. In this human anatomy lesson, students view a diagram of the human body and identify the specific bones and joints that allow us to perform specific exercises like...

Eighth graders create rockets that be launched at varying angles to determine which angle is best to launch at for the longest distance.

Students use a demonstration in order to learn abou the movement of weather fronts.

Students replicate the teacher demonstrations by changing the variables and predicting the outcomes.

Students see that understanding how sound is produced makes it possible for us to manipulate it so we can decrease the number of unpleasant sounds we encounter. They make a drum to explore the concepts of force, pitch and volume.

Students explore the science of sound. In this sound lesson, students craft drums from various materials and respond to questions regarding pitch, force, and volume.

Students observe the various living things they can find outside their playground making sure to look both on the ground and in the air. They develop a large poster Venn digram, as a class, of plants and animals that live in the air, on...

Students discover how water expands when frozen during a glacier. In this matter instructional activity, students fill a glass jar with water, leaving no room for air in the jar and place it in the freezer.  Students retrieve the...

In this chemistry Olympiad worksheet, students solve sixty multiple choice questions on a variety of chemistry topics from finding molarity of solutions to calculating products of reactions. Students are given graphs, equations, reaction...

In this chemistry olympiad lab worksheet, chemists are required to design two experiments. In one, they design an experiment to identify seven solutions given to them in pipettes. In the other, they design an experiment to determine the...
