In this energy lesson, students create calorimeters out of soda cans and use them to calculate the amount of energy stored in different types of wood.

Students investigate solar collectors. In this energy lesson, students create and demonstrate solar collectors. They will use measurement, data collecting, and analyze their findings to determine the best orientations for their solar...

Young scholars study reaction rates, what determines how fast a reaction happens and how the chemical changes occur.  For this reactions lesson students complete a lab where they use Alka-Seltzer to observe reaction rate and create...

Students investigate weather and climate through a variety of interdisciplinary activities.

Students explore magnetism. They make observations of everyday items regarding their magnetic attraction and use their experiences to make a prediction.

Eighth graders gain a better understanding of visual distances and estimation. They actively practice using metric measurement and conversion. Students practice cooperative exploring and team building.

Students predict and test different variables that would effect sugar cubes dissolving in water. In this dissolving lesson plan, students have 4 petri dishes with 4 different variations of sugar cubes and water. They predict which will...

Students calculate the calories in a Brazil nut and the calories needed for daily intake. In this calories lesson plan, students use calorimetry to measure the change in water temperature heated by the burning of a Brazil nut. They also...

In this thermometric titration learning exercise, learners titrate hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide to determine its concentration. They measured the solution's change in temperature, plotted their data, and used the graph to find...

Students use the scientific method to investigate the role of temperature in microbial growth. In this food preservation lesson, students set up an experiment with fruit in room temperature and in a refrigerator. They record the...

Students explore healthy snacks. In this nutrition and cooking lesson, students observe and identify food groups on USDA's MyPyramid food guide. Students discuss how fiber helps our digestive system and follow a recipe using yeast to...

In this milkweed and monarch butterfly mania:  measuring worksheet, learners use photos of milkweed plants and caterpillars next to a ruler to estimate the measurements of 10 leaves and 15 caterpillars, calculating and recording...

Students examine the changing states of water. In this solid, liquid, gas lesson, students discover that water changes when heated or cooled. Students make predictions and then use the interactive whiteboard to "heat and...

Young scholars collect specimen and analyze it. In this biology lesson, students analyze and evaluate the diversity found in specific environment. They use the correct terminology as they do their write up for the experiment.

Young scholars observe, measure, and record the properties in making objects stick together using science tools. In this science lesson, students explore with their senses while mixing flour and water. Additionally, young scholars share...

Fifth graders carefully examine and investigate the products contained in a diaper. They particularly analyze the crystal sodium polyacrylate, a product developed for use in astronaut diapers. They follow the scientific method, forming...

High schoolers observe how a cell uses an enzyme to rid itself of a poisonous substance by experimenting with hydrogen peroxide, potatoes, liver and carrots. They record the temperature and changes of the hydrogen peroxide as other...

Young scholars formulate a testable research question containing a comparison and a quantitative measure. They state the null and alternative hypothesis for a testable research question. In addition, they describe some of the abiotic and...

Students investigate winter behaviors in animals. They describe winter and write about the characteristics of the season by drawing and labeling a winter picture. Students then conduct research on a chosen animal and create a chart. ...

Students articulate the difference between the terms heat and temperature. They calculate the amount of energy associated with a given temperature rise and design an experiment to measure the energy of a fuel.

In this solubility worksheet, students conduct an experiment to see how temperature effects the solubility of salt in water. Students record their data in a chart and then graph the results. Then students complete 2 short answer questions.

In this language of science activity, students use the list provided to guess the meaning of each of the list. Students apply root words, prefixes, and suffixes to gain meaning of other science words.

Students investigate the energy released by a peanut and a piece of a walnut. In this catabolism and calories lesson plan, students burn a peanut and a piece of a walnut and measure the temperature of the water before burning and after...

Students discuss weather forecasts and different types of weather. In this weather lesson, students observe the weather and learn a weather song. They listen to a story and see weather measurement tools.
