This lesson will introduce your students to the scientific method using a fun, hands-on activity.

Learn about the scientific method in this lesson that uses rockets made from nothing but paper, tape, and straws.

Learn how to use the steps of the scientific method to carry out a scientific investigation.

Here's a practical engineering challenge: you need to build an enclosure for your dogs, using material that they can't chew through. It's going to be a lot of work to build, so you want to do it right. What material should you choose for...

At the end of your experiment you should review all of the data you have collected. See samples of data analysis charts and graphs. Find out what makes for a good chart or graph using the self-grading rubrics.

Students will discover the scientific basis for the use of inclined planes. They will explore, using a spring scale, a bag of rocks and an inclined plane, how dragging objects up a slope is easier than lifting them straight up into the...

Do you like to watch outdated science fiction and cheesy horror movies? Many fictional tales of cloned organisms have been created based upon the scientific method for cloning animals or plants. In the real world, the cloning of plants...

Use the scientific method to investigate the claims of "energy field" therapists. Design an investigation to study the claims of biomagnetic therapy.

Explore the communications system based upon a pattern of raised dots called Braille, and design a method of inquiry that uses the scientific method to compare the effectiveness of reading dot cells against reading raised alphabet...

A continuation of Beyond the Earth Part I. As part of a unit on the solar system, students will choose a component of the solar system to research. Students may use a variety of resources such as the Internet, books, and reference...

Determining the population in a larger area by tagging. By using proper scientific method and careful sampling procedures, students learn how biologists work in the field to collect data about a population. Students will also calculate...

Explanations and examples of the Reverse Paramedic Method used to edit scientific writing.

Observe kids building a model rocket. See how they use the scientific method to figure out how to make sensors for their rocket.

In this lesson students will work collaboratively to explore the "Big Question" that led up to this lesson was "Why are there two solid rocket boosters used to launch the space shuttle instead of one with the same amount of fuel?" This...

In this activity students will learn the basic concept of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) using triangulation and measurement on a small scale in the classroom. Students discover how GPS and navigation integrate mathematic and...
