In this central nervous system worksheet, students define 24 terms associated with the human central nervous system. They answer 28 short answer questions dealing with the structures and function of the CNS.

In this elements worksheet, students determine the atomic number, mass, number, electrons, protons, and neutrons for elements. Students review the electromagnetic spectrum. This worksheet has 1 graphic organizer and 13 multiple choice...

Students study the Beaufort Scale and use it to study wind in their community. In this wind study lesson, students watch a DVD about climate change and learn about the Beaufort Scale. Students complete a worksheet for the topic.

In this Loch Ness Monster worksheet, learners read the description and look at the picture of the Loch Ness Monster and find things that are wrong with it. Students find 7 mistakes.

Students design a program to make an automated vehicle perform a specific task. For this robotics lesson, students play the role of scientists competing to win a factory's contract. They present their algorithm to class.

Students identify and separate the different zones of the beach by observation. They investigate beach zonation by gathering and comparing sand samples gathered from different areas of the beach.

Students determine the spring constant by conducting an investigation. In this physics lesson, students collect data and create a graph of force vs. displacement. They compare the results of two different methods to find spring constant.

Students investigate how polorizers filter light. In this physics lesson, students record their data and plot their results using a computer logging software. They discuss practical applications of polarization.

Students sing the continent song and locate oceans between the continents on a map. They read "They Earth is Mostly Ocean" and copy notes into their journals. They watch a demonstration of water and saltwater evaporated to see what is...

Students explore Jupiter's magnetosphere. In this Jupiter instructional activity, students examine a diagram of the magnetic field that surrounds Jupiter.

Students investigate the link between music and visual art by applying principles of design to convey the emotions/expressions in different types of music.

Fourth graders use Internet and/or library resources to locate and record information about hurricanes on a worksheet..

Students conduct an experiment to determine dew point and use a formula to detemine altitude. They construct a chart and predict what altitude clouds would form, given the dew point on the ground.

Students use the internet to research the effects of volcanoes. They create a chart showing the negative and positive aspects that a volcanoe can bring to an area. Using PowerPoint, they create a presentation showing the negative and...

Fourth graders participate in a simple experiment to illustrate the concept of mother bats identifying their young. They sniff stickers in order to imitate the behavior of mother bats in the wild.

Review the characteristics of periodic transverse and longitudinal waves such as wavelength, crest, trough, amplitude, expansion, and compression.

A very detailed article on the characteristics of waves and wave behavior. It discusses the influence waves have on the marine environment and the global climate, the physics of wave motion, the interactions between waves and wind, wave...

A very good introduction to the world of waves. Waves and wavelike motion, what is a wave, and categories of waves are the topics examined in this site. Many links to other wave sites.

How are standing wave formations formed? Why are they only formed when the medium is vibrated at specific frequencies? What makes these so-called frequencies so special and magical? These questions are answered in this exploration of...

For this direct instruction lesson, students draw sketches in their science notebooks in order to make sense of wave properties. Resources include a slideshow presentation on the properties of waves and multiple examples of student work.

y the end of this section, you will be able to calculate the intensity and the power of rays of sunlight and waves.

Students learn about the types of waves and how they change direction, as well as basic wave properties such as wavelength, frequency, amplitude and speed. During the presentation of lecture information on wave characteristics and...

By the end of this section, you will be able to describe various characteristics associated with a wave and differentiate between transverse and longitudinal waves.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore frequency and amplitude in terms of wave characteristics, and learn how the frequency and period of a wave are related.
