In this ESL verbs matching instructional activity, students examine 10 clip art pictures of people doing something. They match the picture to the word that names the action such as wave, shout, knock, or tear.

Students study the logo or crest that represents their hometown and describe what it means. They create a new logo for the younger members of their hometown after looking at images of symbols from many other cities and towns.

Students collaborate in heterogeneous groups with each student having a different role. They comprehend the relationship between the frequency and wavelength of light. They record their observations in a table that is included on this...

Students become familiar with the concept of spectroscopy or the study of the interaction of matter with electromagnetic radiation. They prepare solutions and measure absorbance at different wavelengths. Pupils comprehend that mater and...

In this science worksheet, students interpret the graphs for the information that is related to measuring the different wavelengths for light or sound.

In this electromagnetic spectrum activity, students review all regions of the spectrum in order from longest to shortest wavelength. Students list all possible values for specific quantum numbers. This activity has 20 problems to solve.

In this chemistry 301 worksheet, students answer questions as it relates to the electron configuration of given elements. Students use the periodic table to assist in their interpretation of the questions provided.

Sixth graders observe light being separated into a color spectrum.  In this electromagnetic instructional activity students use a diffraction grating to separate light and compare light sources. 

Students identify and discuss key factors that determine how effective color camouflage is in certain habitats.  In this investigative lesson students divide into groups and study light. 

Students using a rope and other materials explore wavelengths and frequency. If time permits, more experiments can be tried.

Students perform a simulation of the workings of an electron microscope to discover that the resolution will need to improved to detect objects in the nano-scale. They use wooden dowels as detectors to determine the shape of objects in...

Students use a machine called a spectrophotometer to determine how much light is absorbed by certain substances. Students record the absorbance and the % of light transmitted for different color solutions, graph their results, and then...

Student describes what happens to the color of a stove burner or a coal as it gets hotter. They use the applet to determine what range of temperatures range give you a red light, what range of temperatures would give you a white light,...

In this electromagnetic spectrum worksheet, students will brainstorm a main idea about this spectrum and then write in 3 supporting details. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

Students study an article on Gamma Rays.  For this investigative lesson students study the energy and wavelengths of gamma rays and the theories behind them. 

Young scholars study the basic structure of the atom. In this chemistry lesson, students explain how colors relate to energy that electrons emit. They calculate energy of the emitted photons.

Young scholars observe, measure, and communicate while observing water convert from a solid to a liquid and back again. In this solid and liquid lesson plan, students answer questions as they observe this change.

Did you realize the visible light spectrum is less than three percent of the electromagnetic spectrum? A hands-onlesson includes five activities and experiments for scholars to explore and discover many advanced science concepts. They...

Students build a device that captures and carries a pet rat safely back to its cage with out "harming" the rat or themselves. They build and experiment with wind-up or battery operated rat cat toys after predicting the outcome of their...

Has your class ever wondered how animals and scientists stay warm in the Polar Regions? Kids will investigate to understand the three types of heat transfer and how heat transfer affects those trying to stay toasty in sub-zero...

Science Students build a pooper scooper tool that helps them clean up after a dog without getting their hands dirty or their noses too close. They research the diseases that can be transported through animal waste and work in teams to...

This well-organized lab activity introduces earth science pupils to the greenhouse effect. They will set up two experiments to monitor temperatures in an open jar, a closed jar, and a closed jar containing water. Ideally, you would have...

What is an urban heat island? Middle school meteorologists find out by comparing temperatures at different locations on campus. They relate their findings to what might be happening in a concrete jungle and how it impacts local weather....
