Students experiment, observe, measure, and analyze what occurs during an exothermic reaction. They safely design an experiment, control variables, and properly dispose of materials.

Students explore how to show evidence of subshells and electron filling on the visual scale. They examine subshell filling and evaluate unknowns based on the atomic emission spectrum. Students design an experiment to identify colors of...

Students name the factors (concentration, temperature, and a catalyst) which can affect the rate of a chemical reaction. They use their knowledge of particle theory to explain their observations. Pupils comprehend that the...

Students view animations of several atmospheric variables (e.g., temperature, rainfall) during a cold front passage and locate the dryline, determine its direction of movement, and list at least two weather conditions associated with the...

Students study the scientific method and explore how to design an experiment.  In this investigative lesson students explore and hypothesis an experiment then carry it out to find the results. 

Learners analyze NASA data from the Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer. In this NASA data instructional activity, students access an assigned website to examine information from the MISR on the Terra Satellite. They determine how...

Students compare and contrast images of the sun taken at different times and viewed at different scales. They record their observations in a journal and create a graphic organizer to help analyze their observations.

Students make "pets" of isopods (potato bugs) to determine their preferred environment and food sources. They record their results on a bar graph and in a scientific report.

Twelfth graders practice their graphing skills in an exercise about acceleration due to gravity. Lesson opens with a demonstration of acceleration due to gravity and a brief discussion. Students complete a worksheet and go over answers...

Pupils use a 24-hour graph of air temperature, relative humidity, and dew point to describe at least one reason why the variables change (or don't change) during the day. They use given scenarios to identify and describe the problems...
